[PDF][PDF] Selenium mediates exercise-induced adult neurogenesis and reverses learning deficits induced by hippocampal injury and aging

O Leiter, Z Zhuo, R Rust, JM Wasielewska, L Grönnert… - Cell metabolism, 2022 - cell.com
Although the neurogenesis-enhancing effects of exercise have been extensively studied,
the molecular mechanisms underlying this response remain unclear. Here, we propose that …

Nogo-A targeted therapy promotes vascular repair and functional recovery following stroke

R Rust, L Grönnert, C Gantner… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Stroke is a major cause of serious disability due to the brain’s limited capacity to regenerate
damaged tissue and neuronal circuits. After ischemic injury, a multiphasic degenerative and …

[PDF][PDF] APOE2, E3, and E4 differentially modulate cellular homeostasis, cholesterol metabolism, and inflammatory response in isogenic iPSC-derived astrocytes

SM de Leeuw, AWT Kirschner, K Lindner, R Rust… - Stem cell reports, 2022 - cell.com
The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) variant is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer
disease (AD), while the APOE2 allele is protective. A major question is how different APOE …

Insights into the dual role of inflammation after spinal cord injury

R Rust, J Kaiser - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Injuries to the CNS lead to severe and often irreversible deficits in sensorimotor and
autonomous function. In spinal cord injury (SCI), mechanical damage results in the death of local …
