In the United States, about 12,000 premature infants develop intraventricular hemorrhage
(IVH) every year. The incidence of moderate-to-severe IVH has remained almost stationary …

Microglia and astrocytes produce several cytokines including interleukin 1 (IL1) and tumor
necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), which have pleiotropic effects in the immune and nervous …

To analyze the interdependence of neurons and astroglia during central nervous system
development, a rapid method for purifying early postnatal cerebellar neurons and astroglia …

10+ Years of Updates Since First EditionNewcomers to the animal clinical chemistry and
toxicology fields quickly find that the same rules of human medicine do not always apply …

In the developing mammalian central nervous system astrocytes have been proposed as an
important substrate for axon growth. In the adult central nervous system following injury …

Microglia and astrocytes undergo proliferative and differentiative changes in vivo after
trauma or diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Oligodendrocytes are destroyed in …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the role of the astrocyte in the central nervous
system (CNS) injury and disease. Astrocytes comprise as much as 25% of the cells and 35 …

Radial glia are transiently present in the developing cerebral cortex, where they are thought
to guide the migration of neurons from the proliferative zone to the forming cortical plate. To …

In the present report we describe the astrocytic localization and content of monoamine
oxidase‐B (MAO‐B) by means of a 3H‐L‐deprenyl emulsion autoradiography in primary …

The dendritic processes and perinuclear cytoplasm of stellate-shaped perisinusoidal cells in
frozen sections of rat liver were specifically labeled with antisera raised independently to …
