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
Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) induces delayed inflammation and long-term gray and white matter brain injury that may be altered by hyperoxia. HI and 2 h of hyperoxia (100% O2) or room air (21% O2) in 7-d-old (P7) rats were studied by magnetic resonance

Lung parenchyma remains one of the most difficult tissues to be imaged by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Several MRI techniques are routinely used for lung imaging. However, manganese-enhancement MRI (MEMRI) technique has not been associated with pulmonary MRI.
The role of normal cellular prion protein (PrP) remains to be fully elucidated; however, the protein is crucial for the infection and progression of prion diseases. Recent evidence indicates that PrP is a metalloprotein since the octapeptide repeat sequences in
