Costa R, Conceicao A, Matos C, Nobrega C
Cell Death Dis . 2024 Jun; 15(6):415. PMID: 38877004
A CAG repeat sequence in the ATXN2 gene encodes a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract within the ataxin-2 (ATXN2) protein, showcasing a complex landscape of functions that have been progressively unveiled over...

Estevam B, Matos C, Nobrega C
Database (Oxford) . 2023 Aug; 2023. PMID: 37599593
Polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases are neurodegenerative disorders caused by abnormally expanded Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine (CAG) triplet repeat sequences in the coding region of otherwise unrelated genes. Until now, nine different polyQ...

Koppenol R, Conceicao A, Afonso I, Afonso-Reis R, Costa R, Tome S, et al.
Brain . 2022 Dec; 146(6):2346-2363. PMID: 36511898
Polyglutamine diseases are a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by an abnormal expansion of CAG repeat tracts in the codifying regions of nine, otherwise unrelated, genes. While the protein products...

Afonso I, Lima P, Conceicao A, Matos C, Nobrega C
Int J Mol Sci . 2022 Oct; 23(19). PMID: 36233198
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a rare autosomal, dominantly inherited disease, in which the affected individuals have a disease onset around their third life decade. The molecular mechanisms underlying...

Marcelo A, Afonso I, Afonso-Reis R, Brito D, Costa R, Rosa A, et al.
Cell Death Dis . 2021 Nov; 12(12):1117. PMID: 34845184
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an incurable and genetic neurodegenerative disorder. The disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of several brain regions, resulting in severe motor and non-motor clinical...

Marcelo A, Koppenol R, de Almeida L, Matos C, Nobrega C
Cell Death Dis . 2021 Jun; 12(6):592. PMID: 34103467
Stress granules (SGs) are membraneless cell compartments formed in response to different stress stimuli, wherein translation factors, mRNAs, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and other proteins coalesce together. SGs assembly is crucial...

Nobrega C, Conceicao A, Costa R, Koppenol R, Sequeira R, Nunes R, et al.
BMC Res Notes . 2020 Apr; 13(1):210. PMID: 32276655
Objective: Compromised brain cholesterol turnover and altered regulation of brain cholesterol metabolism have been allied with some neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease (HD). Following our previous studies in HD, in...

Nunes C, Mestre I, Marcelo A, Koppenol R, Matos C, Nobrega C
Database (Oxford) . 2019 Mar; 2019. PMID: 30820574
In response to different stress stimuli, cells transiently form stress granules (SGs) in order to protect themselves and re-establish homeostasis. Besides these important cellular functions, SGs are now being implicated...
