Reactive Astrocytes in Brain Metastasis
Brain metastasis, the secondary growth of malignant cells within the central nervous system (CNS), exceeds the incidence of primary brain tumors (i.e., gliomas) by tenfold and are seemingly on the rise owing to the emergence of novel targeted therapies that are more effective in controlling extracranial disease relatively to intracranial lesions. Despite the fact that metastasis to the brain po...
متن کاملAstrocytes in the Epileptic Brain
The roles that astrocytes play in the evolution of abnormal network excitability in chronic neurological disorders involving brain injury, such as acquired epilepsy, are receiving renewed attention due to improved understanding of the molecular events underpinning the physiological functions of astrocytes. In epileptic tissue, evidence is pointing to enhanced chemical signaling and disrupted li...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory Effect of Shikonin on Cultured Astrocytes Derived from Rat Brain
Introduction: Astrocytes have an important role in many neurodegenerative diseases. Active astrocytes release inflammatory factors such as NO and ILs. Shikonin, a naphthoquinone pigment of Lithospermum erythrorhizon roots has anti-inflammatory and antitumoral effects. The present study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory and toxic effects of Shikonin on cultured astrocytes. Methods...
متن کاملHuman astrocytes in the diseased brain
Astrocytes are key active elements of the brain that contribute to information processing. They not only provide neurons with metabolic and structural support, but also regulate neurogenesis and brain wiring. Furthermore, astrocytes modulate synaptic activity and plasticity in part by controlling the extracellular space volume, as well as ion and neurotransmitter homeostasis. These findings, to...
متن کاملBrain perfusion and vasoreactivity in multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system, pathologically characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration. In past years, there has been increasing attention paid to its ischemicvascular aspects because abnormalities in CBF and CBV have been consistently described in both WM and GM, in all MS stages. The enhanced expression of an hypoxia-ind...
