NEURAL STEM/PROGENITOR CELLS IN THE POST-ISCHEMIC ENVIRONMENT: Proliferation, Differentiation and Neuroprotection
(2007-06-04)
Stroke is one of the leading causes of chronic disability and death in the Western world. Today, no treatment can repair the cellular loss associated with an ischemic lesion. However, the discovery and dynamic regulation ...
Brain Regeneration - in vitro and in vivo studies of exercise-related effects on brain plasticity
(2008-06-13)
Neural stem and progenitor cells in the germinal regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, are of great interest, because they provide the possibility for enhanced brain plasticity or can contribute to endogenous ...
The effect of astrocytes and reactive gliosis on neurogenesis and astrogenesis in mice
(2008-11-10)
Astrocytes are the most common cell type in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin constitute intermediate filaments (known also as nanofilaments), a part of the ...
Regional differences in the response of neural stem cells and their microenvironment to ionizing radiation
(2009-05-14)
Radiation therapy is one of the most effective tools for treating malignant tumors; however, cranial irradiation often results in intellectual impairment and cognitive deficits, such as impaired learning and memory. Ionizing ...
Regulation of postnatal neurogenesis and brain angiogenesis by thyroid hormone
(2009-12-07)
Thyroid hormone (TH), which is secreted by the thyroid gland, exerts significant
effects on the central nervous system (CNS), especially during development, so
that delayed treatment of perinatal hypothyroidism results ...
