The brain is responsible for regulating the functions of the body, from the unconscious (controlling blood pressure,heartrate, and respiratory rate) to the conscious acts likewalkingand talking. Add the intellectual processes of thought, and the brain is a busy part of the human body. The brain...
To be of any relevance, this classification must relate to specific functions in the neural network. At present, the balance of evidence is that NG2-glia and astrocytes are functionally segregated populations.doi:10.1111/j.1469-7580.2005.00489.xAkiko Nishiyama...
as sensors may serve animal, plant and microbial cells and show that this sensor hypothesis can provide an explanation of many basic processes in which AQPs are already implicated. Aquaporins are molecules in search of a function; osmotic and turgor sensors are functions in search of a molecule...
Bile acids (BA), resulting from the breakdown of cholesterol in the liver [1], play a role in regulating various bodily functions, both in the liver and other tissues. They also serve as regulators for lipid and glucose metabolism [2]. While Proper synthesis and cholesterol excretion are ess...
She suggests that a future phase of cell atlases should include how cells respond to such changes — for instance, how cells might alter their developmental trajectories in response to drug treatments. Unfortunately, cell responses and functions are not obvious for...
Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological diseases, affects more than 70 million people worldwide. Anti-seizure drugs targeting membrane ion channels or GABAergic neurotransmission are the first choices for controlling seizures, whereas the high inci
2. Why the brain regulates tightly the levels of cholesterol? 3. How are cholesterol levels regulated in the brain? 4. Is hypercholesterolemia a risk factor for AD because of higher cholesterol reaching the brain? 5. How does the e4 allele of the apolipoprotein E predispose to AD? 6. Is...
