1. Astroglial Cells : Role in Neurodegenerative-Inflammatory Processes in the Central Nervous System
Sammanfattning : Inflammatory processes, mediated by the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) -1a/b, tumor necrosis factora(TNFa), IL-6 and excitotoxic actions of glutamate, are proposed to be implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.A neurotoxic fragment ofb-amyloid,bA25-35, was shown to induce a reactive phenotype of primary astrocytes and microglial cells in a time-dependent manner.

2. Glutathione in the brain. Studies on efflux and possible implications in neurotoxicity
Sammanfattning : Neuronal cell death in acute insults such as stroke, trauma and epilepsy involves overactivation of glutamate receptors, calcium influx and increased formation of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species. Glutathione is a key component in the antioxidant defense system against reactive oxygen species. LÄS MER
3. Inflammatory Signaling Across the Blood-Brain Barrier and the Generation of Fever
Sammanfattning : Fever is a cardinal sign of inflammation and is evolutionary conserved. Fever is known to be beneficial during acute inflammation, but over time and if very high it can be detrimental. LÄS MER
4. Connexin43 in astroglial gap junctions. Regulation by age, neurotransmitters, GH and IGF-I
Sammanfattning : Connexins form gap junctions that are aqueous pores allowing low-molecular (.... LÄS MER
