From classical to modern literature on microglia, the importance of the potential and
variability of these immune cells in vertebrates has been pointed out. Recent aspects such …

Abstract Changes in the morphology of ramified microglia are a common feature in brain
pathology and culminate in the appearance of small, rounded, microglia‐derived …

Nitric oxide (NO) overproduction has been postulated to contribute significantly to ischaemia‐
reperfusion neurotoxicity. Inducible or type II NO synthase (iNOS) synthesizes NO in large …

The role of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α convertase (TACE/ADAM17) in the adult
nervous system remains poorly understood. The authors have previously demonstrated that …

Reduction in microglial branching is a common feature in brain pathology and culminates in
the transformation into small, rounded, microglia‐derived phagocytes in the presence of …

To study the morphology and distribution of the retinal microglial cells of the goldfish retina
in normal conditions and after optic nerve crush, we have used the nucleoside …

Constant intense light causes apoptosis of photoreceptors in the retina of albino fish.
However, very few studies have been performed on pigmented species. Tench (Tinca tinca) …

In contrast to mammals, adult teleost fish exhibit an enormous capacity to replace damaged
neurons with newly generated ones after injuries in the central nervous system. In the …

The patterns of distribution of TUNEL‐positive bodies and of lectin‐positive phagocytes
were investigated in the developing visual system of the small‐spotted catshark S …

The lizard medial cortex (lizard fascia dentata) is capable of neural regeneration after being
lesioned by the anti-metabolite 3-acetylpyridine (3AP). This study was aimed at detecting …
