Newest firstMitochondrial disruption is a key mechanism in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Promoting mitochondrial dynamics and renewal of the mitochondrial network can restore its function and sustain neuronal viability. Although a growing body of evidence implicates endocannabinoid signaling in the regulation of mitochondrial function, its neuroprotective role in neurodegenerative diseases remains largely unexpl…
Open article record in new tab ↗Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. In contrast, the regulation of the endocannabinoid system has been shown to promote neuroprotection in different neurotoxic paradigms. The existence of an active form of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) in mitochondrial membranes (mitCB1R), which might exert its effects through the same signaling mechanisms as the cell m…
Background Although the advent of combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) has transformed HIV into a manageable chronic disease, an estimated 30-50% of people living with HIV (PLWH) exhibit cognitive and motor deficits collectively known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). A key driver of HAND neuropathology is chronic neuroinflammation, where proinflammatory mediators produced by activated micro…
N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) is an endogenous lipid deriving from the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA). Identified as a ligand of several G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), it can however exert biological responses independently of GPCRs. NAGly was recently shown to depress store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) but its mechanism of action remains elusive. The major aim of this study was to gain a better knowledge o…
