[HTML][HTML] Connexins in wound healing; perspectives in diabetic patients

DL Becker, C Thrasivoulou, ARJ Phillips - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta …, 2012 - Elsevier
Skin lesions are common events and we have evolved to rapidly heal them in order to maintain
homeostasis and prevent infection and sepsis. Most acute wounds heal without issue, …

Postmitotic neurons develop a p21‐dependent senescence‐like phenotype driven by a DNA damage response

…, V Korolchuk, A Tsolou, ES Gonos, C Thrasivoulou… - Aging cell, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In senescent cells, a DNA damage response drives not only irreversible loss of replicative
capacity but also production and secretion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and bioactive …

ProNGF, sortilin, and age‐related neurodegeneration

…, S Raza, K Crutcher, C Thrasivoulou… - Annals of the New …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Several studies have sought to demonstrate that neurodegeneration during disease and in
old age is associated with reduced neurotrophic support. Little positive evidence has been …

[PDF][PDF] Second harmonic generation confocal microscopy of collagen type I from rat tendon cryosections

TA Theodossiou, C Thrasivoulou, C Ekwobi… - Biophysical journal, 2006 - cell.com
… (D) Same field as in C rotated by 90. The yellow arrows in C and D represent the laser
polarization. Cyan arrows denote the collagen-fibril longitudinal axis. Although the intensity scales …

[HTML][HTML] A Novel Role for Wnt/Ca2+ Signaling in Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling and Cell Motility in Prostate Cancer

…, A Freeman, J Nariculam, P Munson, C Thrasivoulou… - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
Wnt signaling is a critical regulatory pathway in development and disease. Very little is known
about the mechanisms of Wnt signaling in prostate cancer, a leading cause of death in …

Reactive oxygen species, dietary restriction and neurotrophic factors in age‐related loss of myenteric neurons

C Thrasivoulou, V Soubeyre, H Ridha, D Giuliani… - Aging cell, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We have studied the mechanisms underlying nonpathological age‐related neuronal cell
death. Fifty per cent of neurons in the rat enteric nervous system are lost between 12 and 18 …

[HTML][HTML] Vulnerability to ROS-induced cell death in ageing articular cartilage: the role of antioxidant enzyme activity

N Jallali, H Ridha, C Thrasivoulou, C Underwood… - Osteoarthritis and …, 2005 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that age-related loss of chondrocytes in cartilage is
associated with impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis resulting from reduced …

Neurotoxic and neurotrophic roles of proNGF and the receptor sortilin in the adult and ageing nervous system

…, S Chun, S Raza, C Thrasivoulou… - European Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
… Slices were allowed to equilibrate slowly to room temperature in Tyrode buffer containing
10 mm glucose for 1 h and incubated at 37 C in a CO 2 incubator either without treatment, or …

[HTML][HTML] Activation of intracellular calcium by multiple Wnt ligands and translocation of β-catenin into the nucleus: a convergent model of Wnt/Ca2+ and Wnt/β-catenin …

C Thrasivoulou, M Millar, A Ahmed - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 - ASBMB
… The experiments were performed using a 35-mm, glass-bottomed FluoroDish containing
1 ml of PBS at 37 C to which ligands were added at desired concentration. In a static, non-…

Overexpression of the gap junction protein Cx43 as found in diabetic foot ulcers can retard fibroblast migration

…, AE Serrano, CM Wang, C Thrasivoulou… - Cell biology …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Poor healing of DFUs (diabetic foot ulcers) is a major clinical problem that can be extremely
debilitating and lead to lower limb amputation. In the normal acute wound, the Cx43 (…
