Because glia and glia-derived molecules are known to exert trophic effects on developing neurons, we wanted to determine when the sex difference in RA glia develops relative to the sexually dimorphic growth and survival of RA neurons. Male and female zebra finches were injected twice daily with ...
A method called SurfaceChIP-seq was created to be compatible with mapping theepigenomeusing a tiny quantity of brain cells. The sensitivity of the method was critical for examining various types of histone modifications in brain cell types such as neurons and glia. The team found some histone ma...
Necrosis of neurons and glial cells was not significantly influenced. Therefore, elevated neuronal activity increased the resistance of the surrounding glial cells to photoinduced apoptosis. This could be attributed to the depletion of the energetic resources, which are transferred from glia into the ...
Sprague–Dawley rats also appeared to be more sensitive to the lesion in terms of up-regulating FGF-2 expression. The differences reported here suggest currently unknown genetic differences between these two strains may be important factors for regulating the compensatory release of neurotrophic factors,...
The main pathological feature of PD is the progres- sive loss of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the presence of alpha-synuclein positive cytoplas- mic inclusions, termed Lewy bodies, in surviving neurons [2]. Degener...
The key difference between cell biology and molecular biology is that the cell biology mainly concentrates on studying cellular mechanisms of the cell whil
Necrosis of neurons and glial cells was not significantly influenced. Therefore, elevated neuronal activity increased the resistance of the surrounding glial cells to photoinduced apoptosis. This could be attributed to the depletion of the energetic resources, which are transferred from glia into the ...
Although LPS appeared to impact upon mesencephalic neurons in general, an extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons was observed. Analysis of the abundance of microglia revealed that the substantia nigra had the highest density of microglia. When mixed neuron-glia cultures derived from the r...
