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 …

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

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 …

S100 beta is a calcium-binding protein that is expressed at high levels in brain primarily by
astrocytes. Addition of the disulfide-bonded dimeric form of S100 beta to primary neuronal …

We investigated the content of S100B protein by ELISA in three brain regions (hippocampus,
cerebral cortex, and cerebellum) and in cerebrospinal fluid of rats during postnatal …

S100B is the major low-affinity Ca2+-binding protein in astrocytes. In order to study the role
of S100B in the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis, we generated S100B null mice by a …

S100β is a calcium-binding protein elevated in Down's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
Previous studies have demonstrated that S100β is trophic for several neuronal populations …

Recent evidence suggests that slowly propagating Ca2+ waves from astrocytes can
modulate the function of neurons. Altering astrocytic calcium processes in vivo may therefore …

Glial cells are traditionally regarded as elements for structural support and ionic
homeostasis, but have recently attracted attention as putative integral elements of the …

The glial-derived protein S100 beta can act as a mitogen or a neurotrophic factor,
stimulating proliferation of glial cells or differentiation of immature neurons. We report here …
