In the last years, the classical view of glial cells (in particular of astrocytes) as a simple
supportive cell for neurons has been replaced by a new vision in which glial cells are active …

Chromatin modifications play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. The
repressor element-1 (RE1) silencing transcription factor (REST), also known as neuron …

Cultured astrocytes exhibit a flat/epitelioid phenotype much different from the star‐like
phenotype of tissue astrocytes. Upon exposure to treatments that affect the small GTPase …

Sensory hair cells are essential for hearing and balance. Their development from epithelial
precursors has been extensively characterized with respect to transcriptional regulation, but …

Pheochromocytomas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome and multiple
endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) differ in the types and amounts of catecholamines …

The Repressor Element-1 (RE-1) Silencing Transcription (REST) factor, which is highly
expressed in stem cells and non-neural cells, with low expression in neurons and other …

Intrinsic homeostasis enables neuronal circuits to maintain activity levels within an
appropriate range by modulating neuronal voltage‐gated conductances, but the signalling …

The release of intercellular messengers from synaptic (SVs) and dense-core vesicles
(DCVs) constitutes the primary mechanism for communication between neighboring or …

Recent advances are now providing novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie how
cellular complexity, diversity, and connectivity are encoded within the genome. The …

Astrocytes are the brain nonnerve cells that are competent for gliosecretion, ie, for
expression and regulated exocytosis of clear and dense-core vesicles (DCVs). We …
