Characterization of a Novel Prostate Tumor-Associated Antigen
… HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope may be involved in cell adhesion and that it is a component of several characterized adhesion proteins. TURP-27 was found to bind at least three of these adhesion proteins: neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and a second …

Differential glycosylation of Tractin and LeechCAM, two novel Ig-superfamily members, regulates neurite extension and fascicle formation
<p>Specific carbohydrate structures on neural cell adhesion molecules are promising candidates for assisting in patterning neural connections during development. An excellent system to study the potential function of specific oligosaccharide modifications of neural proteins regulating pathway …

Molecular Pathogenesis of Autism: A Role for Neurexin and Neuroligin
… for each other, are two families of synaptic cell-adhesion molecules that have been linked to ASD pathogenesis. I found that three different mouse models for ASDs, the neurexin-1α deletion, the neuroligin-3 (NL3) R451C mutation, and the NL3 R704C mutation all aberrantly alter synaptic …

Lipid Regulation as a Critical Factor in the Development of Alzheimer's Disease
… and myelination pathways. Using human cell culture models, I demonstrate that fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells taken from AD patients show signs of lipid dysregulation, and that neuron-like cells develop this dysregulation when exposed to oxysterols. Finally, I …
