    Extractions: Stimulating Growth in Damaged Adult Neurons Spinal cord regeneration-the regrowth and repair of damaged nerve fibers-is the Holy Grail quest of neuroscience. Researchers worldwide have explored a multitude of methods, with varying degrees of success. The major hurdles to regeneration are that the body has built-in inhibitory factors that repress nerve growth, and older nerve cells lose the growth capacity found in young neurons. Pate Skene and colleagues at Duke University Medical Center report in the January issue of Nature Neuroscience that they have identified two growth-associated proteins that when expressed together may help overcome these obstacles and stimulate new growth. The research team studied dorsal root ganglian neurons, which have both a central axon projecting up the spinal cord and an additional axon branch that projects through a peripheral nerve. Scientists know that peripheral nerves can regrow after damage, but damage to the peripheral nerve also causes the adjacent spinal cord axon to begin growth as well. The team concluded that certain genes are turned on after damage that allows this regrowth. They identified two proteins, known as CAP-23 and GAP-43, which are normally found at the growing tip (growth cone) of embryonic axons. Using the dorsal root ganglian nerves taken from genetically engineered mice, the researchers found that when these two proteins are expressed together, they activate growth activity into a nerve graft placed at the site of the lesion. This raises the possibility that these proteins may be useful in initiating nerve regeneration in patients with spinal cord injuries, perhaps in combination with therapies to neutralize the inhibitory environment of the adult central nervous system.

    http://www.dur.ac.uk/pr.office/02-91 top award for Durham Scientist.htm
    
    Extractions: Pr/brief/02-91 16 December 2002 The award of a prestigious research grant to Cell Biologist, Professor Roy Quinlan demonstrates the University of Durham's growing international reputation in Biomedical Sciences. Professor Quinlan has the rare distinction of being a non-US national to be included in an award from the US National Institute of Health. As a member of a consortium of researchers looking into the rare brain condition Alexander Disease, his Durham team is to receive $0.5m of the $4m total award. Sir Kenneth Calman, Vice-Chancellor of the University, said: "The University is tremendously proud to have people of world-class quality at the heart of its research community. We congratulate Professor Quinlan on this achievement and wish his team continued success in their work." It was Professor Quinlan's particular expertise in cell and structural biology that was important to the consortium. The project will make important contributions to one of the last great frontiers of modern science - understanding the human brain. Professor Quinlan has several research programmes that are investigating those components that give form and function to cells - namely the skeleton of the cell, called the cytoskeleton. In Alexander Disease, brain function is lost because this structural support is lost. The project will yield important new insights into the brain and how it is made and organised as an important step to treat degenerative brain diseases.

    Extractions: Our lab has been tracing cell lineages in the developing mammalian CNS to study the origins of neurons and glia from immature neuroectodermal cells. Using recombinant retroviruses to transfer genes into progenitor cells, we have followed the migration and differentiation of immature cells of germinal zones in vivo and have determined time- and location-specific patterns of glial development. We are examining what roles environmental vs. lineage-controlled factors play in specifying cell fates. We are particularly interested in how progenitors migrate through the developing brain, focusing on molecular mechanisms that regulate the direction, the beginning and the cessation of migration. Our lab is also starting to examine these same type of mechanisms as they apply to glial tumor migration through the brain. Selected publications: Gensert, J.M., and Goldman, J.E.

    Extractions: Summary : A case of infantile onset Alexander's disease in a two and a half year old male child is presented, who had progressively increasing macrencephaly since birth. A frontal lobe biopsy revealed collections of Rosenthal fibres in the subpial and perivascular areas with diffuse dysmyelination and presence of reactive astrocytes. The Rosenthal fibres were immunoreactive for glial fibrillary acidic protein and ubiquitin. Electron microscopic examination showed the Rosenthal fibres as intra-astrocytic and extracellular granular osmiphilic collections. Introduction Alexander's disease (or leucodystrophy) is characterised by macrencephaly, frequently associated with hydrocephalus, extensive proliferation of reactive astrocytes and formation of Rosenthal fibres by these cells, which are seen intracellularly and extracellularly, predominantly in the perivascular, subependymal and subpial regions. The presentation may be in the infantile, juvenile or adult forms.

Unfortunately, he cannot go anywhere in public. We have to be very careful about who comes to our house. He cannot be around large groups of people including family gatherings, because he is so vulnerable to getting sick. Jared has an unknown form of an immune deficiency in the category of SCIDS (severe combined immune deficiency syndrone.) Read a Spokesman- Review article about Jared printed on April 22, 2001 Jared in October At the end of September 2000, Jared went into the hospital. He was there for a month and spent some of that time on life support. He had pneumocystis carinii, among other infections, and could not breathe on his own so he ended up on a ventilator. Fortunately, he lived through this infection. However, he is at great risk of getting them again. Next time the infection could be fatal. Juliana in June The only thing that has a chance of helping Jared avoid further infections is a bone marrow transplant. Although every patient is different, the cost of that alone, not including living expenses, is $200,000 to $250,000. Jared is very lucky, his 5 year old sister is a perfect bone marrow match. She can be the donor. We have come to the determination that a bone marrow transplant, although risky, is the best chance of survival. It has the possibility of giving him an immune system. It is also very important for Jared to do this as soon as possible due to the severity of his condition and the time of year that is upon us.

59. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And The Alexander Technique

    Extractions: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Alexander Technique by Martin Finnegan What exactly is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?* Sometimes referred to as ME or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, it is a term that describes a chronic, debilitating disorder that affects the immune and central nervous system. Typical of its symptoms are a profound fatigue, totally out of proportion to a person's physical activity and independent of mood, plus a range of other symptoms that can affect any organ of the body. The causes of CFS are unknown. Indeed there appear to be any number of apparent causes and in many cases the onset seems to be linked to a stress to the immune system such as an acute infection, especially viral in nature. After the stress or virus has run its course the symptoms do not abate as you would expect but set in, becoming chronic and are often associated with profound fatigue and feelings of general malaise. Western medicine advocates rest, counseling, adjusting lifestyle and support as the best approach to treating CFS and this is all good advice. The problem, it seems to me is one of perception. The orthodox point of view perceives CFS as a thing. It is my opinion that CFS is not a thing at all, which is the reason that no cause and no diagnosis can be found. It is a process. A process of a human system running down, in a variety of ways, to such a point that it can't function properly anymore. In my own experience of CFS, it was exactly that and the solution was not to attempt to 'fix' a part of my body but to address the whole of 'me' and my life, in all its various aspects - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. And the new model that I followed worked.
