Inflammation in stroke: the role of cholinergic, purinergic and glutamatergic signaling
Martín Muñoz, Abraham; Domercq García, María; (2018-05-04)
The inflammatory response is a major factor in stroke pathophysiology and contributes to secondary neuronal damage in both acute and chronic stages of the ischemic injury. Recent work in experimental cerebral ischemia has ... -
Janus-faced microglia: beneficial and detrimental consequences of microglial phagocytosis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-01)Microglia are the resident brain macrophages and they have been traditionally studied as orchestrators of the brain inflammatory response during infections and disease. In addition, microglia has a more benign, less explored ... -
Neuronal Hyperactivity Disturbs ATP Microgradients, Impairs Microglial Motility, and Reduces Phagocytic Receptor Expression Triggering Apoptosis/Microglial Phagocytosis Uncoupling
Abiega Etxabe, Oihane; Beccari Galeano, Marlene Soledad; Diaz-Aparicio, Irune; Nadjar, Agnes; Layé, Sophie; Leyrolle, Quentin; Gómez-Nicola, Diego; Domercq García, María; Pérez-Samartín, Alberto; Sánchez-Zafra, Víctor; Paris Guerrero, Ignacio; Valero Gómez-Lobo, Jorge; Savage, Julie C.; Hui, Chin-Wai; Tremblay, Marie-Ève; Deudero, Juan J.

Phagocytosis by microglia is tightly coupled to apoptosis, swiftly removing apoptotic cells and actively maintaining tissue homeostasis, but the neuronal hyperactivity associated with epilepsy disrupts the ATP gradients ... -
Neurotransmitter signaling in the pathophysiology of microglia
Domercq García, María; Vázquez Villoldo, Nuria; (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013)
Microglial cells are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system. In the resting state, microglia are highly dynamic and control the environment by rapidly extending and retracting motile processes. Microglia ... -
Never-resting microglia: physiological roles in the healthy brain and pathological implications
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-08-15)Microglia are largely known as the major orchestrators of the brain inflammatory response. As such, they have been traditionally studied in various contexts of disease, where their activation has been assumed to induce a ... -
NMDA modulates oligodendrocyte differentiation of subventricular zone cells through PKC activation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-12-18)Multipotent cells from the juvenile subventricular zone (SVZ) possess the ability to differentiate into new neural cells. Depending on local signals, SVZ can generate new neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes. We ... -
Oligodendrocyte differentiation from adult multipotent stem cells is modulated by glutamate
Cavaliere, Fabio; Urra, O.; Alberdi Alfonso, Elena María; (Nature Publishing Group, 2012-02)
We used multipotent stem cells (MSCs) derived from the young rat subventricular zone (SVZ) to study the effects of glutamate in oligodendrocyte maturation. Glutamate stimulated oligodendrocyte differentiation from SVZ-derived ... -
