Astrocytes are the major glial cells in brain tissue and are involved, among many functions,
ionic and metabolic homeostasis maintenance of synapses. These cells express receptors …

Hippocampal slices have been widely used to investigate electrophysiological and
metabolic neuronal parameters, as well as parameters of astroglial activity including protein …

Although astrocytes express γ-aminobutyric acid subtype-A (GABAA) receptors in the mature
brain, GABAA receptor expression in a cultivation state remains controversial. In this study …

Astrocytes respond to injury by modifying the expression profile of several proteins,
including the S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), assumed to be a marker as well as a …

Astrocytes have a variety of roles in maintaining neural tissue physiology, including
energetic support, uptake and metabolism of glutamate and secretion of neurotrophic …

Several molecules have been shown to be involved in glial-neuronal communication,
including S100B, an astrocyte-derived neurotrophic cytokine. Extracellular S100B protects …

1. S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes, which has
been implicated in glial-neuronal communication. Extracellular S100B appears to protect …

Astrocytes sense, integrate, and respond to stimuli generated by neurons or neural injury;
this response involves gap junction (GJ) communication. Neuronal vulnerability to injury …

S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes, playing a
neurotrophic role in neighboring cells. A protective role of the S100B against glutamate …

S100B is a calcium-binding protein produced and secreted by astrocytes in response to
various extracellular stimuli. C6 glioma cells are a lineage commonly employed for astroglial …
