Astrocyte Regulation of CNS Inflammation and Remyelination
Astrocytes regulate fundamentally important functions to maintain central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Altered astrocytic function is now recognized as a primary contributing factor to an increasing number of neurological diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of our rapidly developing understanding of the basal and inflammatory functions of astrocytes as mediators of CNS respons...
متن کاملNeuronal Loss and Astrocyte Activation and Inflammation
94 The rates of reported HIV-associated central nervous system (CNS) complications have declined since the advent of potent antiretroviral therapy (Figure 1). Although our progress is impressive, a close look shows that HIV-associated neurocognitive disturbance is still an important issue despite the vast clinical improvements achieved with antiretroviral treatment. Systematic evaluation of mor...

متن کاملGap Junction Coupled Cells, Barriers and Systemic Inflammation
The blood-brain barrier (BBB), the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), and the blood-nerve barrier (BNB) may have similarities in systemic chronic inflammation, as seen in a variety of diseases. A disturbance of the barriers lead to a disruption of the cells coupled with gap junctions in syncytium. The network coupling may be principal to understand the homeostatic imbalance in systemic inflammation. ...
