Coordinated neuron-specific splicing events restrict nucleosome engagement of the LSD1 histone demethylase complex by Robert S. Porter, Sojin An, Maria C. Gavilan, Masayoshi Nagai, Yumie Murata-Nakamura, Bo Zhou, Katherine M. Bonefas, Olivier Dionne, Jeru Manoj Manuel, Joannie St-Germain, Suzanne Gascon, Jacqueline Kim, Liam Browning, Benoit Laurent, Uhn-Soo Cho, Shigeki Iwase

“…The neuronal PHF21A, albeit with its weaker nucleosome binding, is necessary for normal gene expression and the H3K4 landscape in the developing brain. Thus, ubiquitously expressed chromatin regulatory complexes can exert neuron-specific functions via alternative splicing of their subunits.…”

Acute Putrescine Supplementation with Schwann Cell Implantation Improves Sensory and Serotonergic Axon Growth and Functional Recovery in Spinal Cord Injured Rats by J. Bryan Iorgulescu, Samik P. Patel, Jack Louro, Christian M. Andrade, Andre R. Sanchez, Damien D. Pearse

“…In the current study we investigated whether the concurrent delivery of the polyamine putrescine, started either 30 min or 1 week after SCI, could enhance the efficacy of SCs when implanted subacutely (1 week after injury) into the contused rat spinal cord. Polyamines are ubiquitous organic cations that play an important role in the regulation of the cell cycle, cell division, cytoskeletal organization, and cell differentiation. …”
