The DNA damage response induces inflammation and senescence by inhibiting autophagy of GATA4

C Kang, Q Xu, TD Martin, MZ Li, M Demaria, L Aron… - Science, 2015 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Cellular senescence is a program of arrested proliferation and altered
gene expression triggered by many stresses. Although it is a potent tumor-suppressive …

REST and stress resistance in ageing and Alzheimer's disease

T Lu, L Aron, J Zullo, Y Pan, H Kim, Y Chen, TH Yang… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Human neurons are functional over an entire lifetime, yet the mechanisms that preserve
function and protect against neurodegeneration during ageing are unknown. Here we show that …

[PDF][PDF] TBK1 suppresses RIPK1-driven apoptosis and inflammation during development and in aging

…, W Li, B Shan, MG Naito, H Meng, Y Li, H Pan, L Aron… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Aging is a major risk factor for both genetic and sporadic neurodegenerative disorders.
However, it is unclear how aging interacts with genetic predispositions to promote …

Three circadian clock genes Per2, Arntl, and Npas2 contribute to winter depression

…, J Frank, C Johansson, M Depner, L Aron… - Annals of …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
Background. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the circadian clock contributes to the
pathogenesis of winter depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). We hypothesized that …

[HTML][HTML] Absence of Ret signaling in mice causes progressive and late degeneration of the nigrostriatal system

ER Kramer, L Aron, GMJ Ramakers, S Seitz… - PLoS …, 2007 - journals.plos.org
Support of ageing neurons by endogenous neurotrophic factors such as glial cell line–derived
neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may determine …

Regulation of lifespan by neural excitation and REST

JM Zullo, D Drake, L Aron, P O'Hern, SC Dhamne… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The mechanisms that extend lifespan in humans are poorly understood. Here we show that
extended longevity in humans is associated with a distinct transcriptome signature in the …

Repairing the parkinsonian brain with neurotrophic factors

L Aron, R Klein - Trends in neurosciences, 2011 - cell.com
No therapy exists to slow down or prevent Parkinson's disease (PD), a debilitating
neurodegenerative disorder. Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) emerged as promising disease-modifying …

The adaptive aging brain

L Aron, J Zullo, BA Yankner - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2022 - Elsevier
The aging brain is shaped by many structural and functional alterations. Recent cross-disciplinary
efforts have uncovered powerful and integrated adaptive mechanisms that promote …

Pitx3 is a critical mediator of GDNF-induced BDNF expression in nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons

C Peng, L Aron, R Klein, M Li, W Wurst… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Pitx3 is a critical homeodomain transcription factor for the proper development and survival
of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons in mammals. Several variants of this …

[HTML][HTML] Inactivation of VCP/ter94 Suppresses Retinal Pathology Caused by Misfolded Rhodopsin in Drosophila

A Griciuc, L Aron, MJ Roux, R Klein, A Giangrande… - PLoS …, 2010 - journals.plos.org
The most common Rhodopsin (Rh) mutation associated with autosomal dominant retinitis
