Brain tissue has a remarkable ability to accumulate glutamate. This ability is due to
glutamate transporter proteins present in the plasma membranes of both glial cells and …

Perinatal insults such as hypoxia–ischemia induces secondary brain injury. In order to
develop the next generation of neuroprotective therapies, we urgently need to understand …

Erythropoietin (EPO) promotes neuronal survival after hypoxia and other metabolic insults
by largely unknown mechanisms. Apoptosis and necrosis have been proposed as …

Object. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death seen in a variety of developmental and
disease states, including traumatic injuries. The main objective of this study was to …

Neuroradiologists may encounter, on a daily basis, a challenging diversity of neurologic
disorders, including stroke, trauma, epilepsy, and even neurodegenerative conditions, such …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common human neurodegenerative disorder
characterized by the progressive deterioration of cognition and memory in association with …

The balance between cell survival and death is under tight genetic control. A multiplicity of
extracellular signals and intracellular mediators is involved in maintaining this balance …

BACKGROUND Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease in the tropics whose
aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain. As such, interest has focused on …

Cell protection from stresses by the major heat shock protein Hsp72 was previously
attributed to its ability to prevent aggregation and to accelerate refolding of damaged …

The hypothesis was tested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) reduced brain infarction by
preventing apoptotic death in ischemic cortex in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. Male …
