Calcium Signaling and Gliotransmission in Normal vs. Reactive Astrocytes

A prominent area of neuroscience research over the past 20 years has been the acute modulation of neuronal synaptic activity by Ca(2+)-dependent release of the transmitters ATP, D-serine, and glutamate (called gliotransmitters) by astrocytes. Although the physiological relevance of this mechanism is under debate, emerging evidence suggests that there are critical factors in addition to Ca(2+) t...

Normal and Neoplastic Hematopoiesis

specifically. The book is supported by over 200 references and half again as many personal communications. The high-quality scanning electron micrographs of pollen grains are especially appealing. Willow, mimosa, and dandelion pollen have an architecture as intricate and beautiful as the plant superstructure which supports them. The spiny spherical pollen grains of ambrosia (ragweed) make them ...

Diversity in Reactive Astrocytes

Normal astrocytes in the adult undergo hypertrophy and proliferation and transform into reactive astrocytes following many types of central nervous system (CNS) injury (1–5). This process is termed astrogliosis and may result in the formation of a glial scar. Morphological studies on astrogliosis by neuroanatomists and pathologists at the beginning of this century focused on the most florid exa...

Normal and Neoplastic Stem Cells

A stem cell is broadly defined as a cell that retains the capacity to self-renew, a feature that confers the ability to continuously make identical daughter cells or additional cells that will differentiate into downstream progeny. This highly regulated genetic program to retain "stemness" is under active investigation. Research in our laboratory has explored similarities and differences in emb...

Reactive Astrocytes in Brain Metastasis

Brain metastasis, the secondary growth of malignant cells within the central nervous system (CNS), exceeds the incidence of primary brain tumors (i.e., gliomas) by tenfold and are seemingly on the rise owing to the emergence of novel targeted therapies that are more effective in controlling extracranial disease relatively to intracranial lesions. Despite the fact that metastasis to the brain po...
