Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dystroglycan is selectively cleaved at the parenchymal basement membrane at sites of leukocyte extravasation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Smriti M. Agrawal, +6 more
- 17 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is shown here that macrophage-derived gelatinase (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-2 and MMP-9) activity is crucial for leukocytes penetration of the parenchymal BM, the first description of selective in situ proteolytic damage of a BBB-specific molecule at sites of leukocyte infiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscular dystrophies involving the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex: an overview of current mouse models

Madeleine Durbeej, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2002 - 
TL;DR: Genetically engineered mouse models for DGC-linked muscular dystrophy have led to a significant improvement in the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms for the development of muscular dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and will also be immensely valuable tools for theDevelopment of novel therapeutic approaches for these incapacitating diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laminins

Madeleine Durbeej
TL;DR: Laminins are cell adhesion molecules that comprise a family of glycoproteins found predominantly in basement membranes, which are the thin sheets of extracellular matrix that underlie epithelial and endothelial cells and surround muscle cells, Schwann cells and fat cells as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progressive Muscular Dystrophy in α-Sarcoglycan–deficient Mice

Franck Duclos, +16 more
- 21 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that the sarcoglycan–sarcospan complex is requisite for stable association of α-dystroglycan with the sarcolemma and for the development of therapeutic strategies for this disease.
