Cytokines in the Germinal Center Niche
Cytokines are small, secreted, glycoproteins that specifically affect the interactions and communications between cells. Cytokines are produced transiently and locally, acting in a paracrine or autocrine manner, and they are extremely potent, ligating high affinity cell surface receptors to elicit changes in gene expression and protein synthesis in the responding cell. Cytokines produced during...
متن کاملReciprocal modulation of tyrosine hydroxylasea activity in rat carotid body.
The carotid body is an arterial chemoreceptor organ responsive to blood levels of pO2, pCOe and pH 13. The parenchymal tissue of the carotid body is composed mainly of two cell types: the glomus or Type I cells, which are disposed together in groups or glomeruli, and the sustentacular or Type II cells, which appear as glial-like elements enclosing the glomeruli in capsular fashion 3,4. The Type...
متن کاملA preliminary anatomical study on carotid body of Makouei sheep
The carotid is a small mass of chemoreceptor's and sustentacular cells that detects changes in the composition of the arterial blood. The aim of the present study was to identify the size, color, location, blood and nerve supply of the carotid body in Makouei sheep. Fourteen heads of sheep from both sexes were collected from Urmia public slaughter-house. The exact situation and nerve supply of ...
متن کاملThe carotid body, a neurogenic niche in the adult peripheral nervous system.
We have described a new population of adult neural stem cells residing in the carotid body, a chemoreceptor organ in the peripheral nervous system. These progenitor cells support neurogenesis in vivo in response to physiological stimuli like hypoxemia, and give rise to multipotent neurospheres in culture. Studying the biology of CB stem cells helps to understand the physiological adaptations of...
متن کامل12 Neurotransmitter Release and Its Modulation
The nature of synaptic interactions between cells is either excitatory or inhibitory. Activity in one cell either enhances or reduces activity in the target neuron. The strength of this influence and its duration are quite variable among synapses, and the mechanisms responsible for the postsynaptic effect are also variable. The classic syn-aptic action is to open ion channels, causing excitator...
