Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked leukodystrophy caused by mutations in Proteolipid Protein 1 (PLP1), encoding a major myelin protein, resulting in profound developmental delay and early lethality. Previous work showed involvement of unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum

The aim of this study was to provide data on the dose dependence of manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) in the visual pathway of experimental rats and to study the toxicity of MnCl₂ to the retina. Sprague-Dawley rats were intravitreally injected with

Manganese(II) is employed as a contrast agent with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for study of neuronal activation in rats and mice. However, at the concentrations required for MRI, Mn may induce pharmacological or toxic effects. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging
The impairment of axonal transport by overexpression or hyperphosphorylation of tau is well documented for in vitro conditions; however, only a few studies on this phenomenon have been conducted in vivo, using invasive procedures, and with contradictory results. Here we

To investigate the potential of manganese (Mn)-enhanced MRI for sensitive detection and delineation of tumors that demonstrate little enhancement on Gd-DTPA. Eighteen nude rats bearing 1 to 2 cm in diameter orthotopic breast tumors (ZR75 and LM2) were imaged on
