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 ...
Radiotherapy plus nimotuzumab or placebo in the treatment of high grade glioma patients: results from a randomized, double blind trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-19)
Background
The prognosis of patients bearing high grade glioma remains dismal. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is well validated as a primary contributor of glioma initiation and progression. Nimotuzumab is a ...
Factors associated with chronic pain in patients with bipolar depression: a cross-sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2013-04-15)
Background: While pain is frequently associated with unipolar depression, few studies have investigated the link between pain and bipolar depression. In the present study we estimated the prevalence and characteristics of ...
Antioxidant defense system and family environment in adolescents with family history of psychosis

Modulación de SOX2 mediante la inhibición de mTOR y su implicación en quimiorresistencia y células madre del cáncer en glioblastoma multiforme
(2016-09-02)
SOX2 es un factor de transcripción ampliamente expresado en el Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) y que regula la actividad de las células madre de glioma (GSC). Se desconoce exactamente cuál es su papel en estas células, y su ...
GABA release by hippocampal astrocytes
(Frontiers Res Found, 2012-08-17)
Astrocytes can directly influence neuronal activity through the release of various transmitters acting on membrane receptors expressed by neurons. However, in contrast to glutamate and ATP for instance, the release of GABA ...
Early astrocytic atrophy in the entorhinal cortex of a triple transgenic animal model of Alzheimer's disease
(Portland Press, 2011)
The EC (entorhinal cortex) is fundamental for cognitive and mnesic functions. Thus damage to this area appears as a key element in the progression of AD (Alzheimer's disease), resulting in memory deficits arising from ...
