Exposure to different inductive agents (e.g., cytokines and growth factors) can differentiate MSCs into chondrocytes, myocytes, fibroblasts, astrocytes, stromal cells, adipocytes, and osteocytes. 2) Mesenchymal Stem Cells: is it time to change the name? Commonly, MSCs are thought to be true ...
Glial cells Glial cells are located between neurons and help support their activity. Microglial cells are part of the immune system within brain tissue, helping clear dead cells and other debris. Astrocytes help clear neurotransmitter chemicals so that the synapse can be ready to react to the next...
One limitation of the present study is that the response of other cell types (peripheral macrophages, astrocytes, adaptive immune cells) to CSF1R inhibition was not examined. Previous studies have indicated that near complete microglial depletion can impact astrocytes and adaptive immune cells [4]. ...
To confirm the involvement of adaptive immune cells following Aβ immunotherapy, sections were analyzed for the presences of B- and T-lymphocytes. In 3D6-treated PDAPP mice, B-cells are highly abundant around vascular amyloid deposits, with significant increases in CD19+ area and CD19+ cells ...
Nerve cells are able to rapidly metabolize fuel because: A. of their capacity to store glucose in the cytoplasm. B. neurons receive lactate from astrocytes. C. glial cells can transfer ATP into neurons. D. brain blood vessels can convert glucose into lact ...

3a). Next, we assessed N-AS-acetylated COX2 in these cells using the ac-S565 antibodies. Consistent with N-AS generation, N-AS-mediated acetyl-S565 COX2 was observed in both neurons and microglia, but not in astrocytes. Further, these studies confirmed that in the presence of Aβ, ...
Astrocytes perform classical innate immune functions, which contradict the current paradigm that microglia are the main immune effector cells of the CNS. TNF-α plays a pivotal role in the LPS-upregulated astrocyte activation and proliferation, supporting their critical roles in in CNS pathogenesis....
What are dendritic cells for?Question:What are dendritic cells for?Dendritic CellsThe immune system is the body's defence against pathogens and triggers immune responses such as inflammation. Dendritic cells are important components of adaptive immunity.Answer...
Secondly, the protein–protein interactions with Nur77 described in this review have been studied in a wide range of cell types, such as immune cells (T-cells, thymocytes, monocytes and macrophages); somatic cells (neurons, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and hepatocytes) and cancer cells...
