Results on the effects of a single bolus injection are controversial (Table 1) (22–24). Using in vitro culture of isolated GABAergic neurons from newborn rats, Vutskits et al. (4,5) demonstrated that low, nonapoptogenic concentrations of ketamine interfere with dendritic arboriza- tion in...
Around 23% and 19% of the differentially expressed genes were respectively associated to the reproductive function and inflammatory-like response. These results confirmed the major role of CCs in the final maturation of the oocyte and the ovulation process, known by its inflammatory-like aspect. At...
The major advantage of using SCNT to produce undifferentiated cells for therapeutic uses is that autologous cells can be generated. These cells would be fully compatible with the patient and would not need immunosuppressive treatments if used in graft therapies. Exciting results with therapeutic cloning...
Functional neuroimaging (i.e. positron emission tomography) studies, brain lesion analysis, and the results of neurosurgical intervention to treat obsessive compulsive disorders indicate that dysfunction within particular basal ganglia and ventral prefrontal cortical structures provides a proposed pathophysiology...
