Reactive Astrogliosis in Epilepsy -Passive Bystanders no more
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com potential proand anti-epileptogenic effects [1,2]. Given that epilepsy can be associated with neurodegeneration, mossy fiber sprouting and changes in receptor and neurotransmitter function, examining the specific role of reactive astrogliosis in epilepsy has been fraught with difficulties. Previously, a transgenic mouse line was generated [3] where ...
متن کاملPlatelets: No longer bystanders in liver disease
Growing lines of evidence recognize that platelets play a central role in liver homeostasis and pathobiology. Platelets have important roles at every stage during the continuum of liver injury and healing. These cells contribute to the initiation of liver inflammation by promoting leukocyte recruitment through sinusoidal endothelium. They can activate effector cells, thus amplifying liver damag...
متن کاملRemarkable alterations of Nav1.6 in reactive astrogliosis during epileptogenesis
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play a vital role in controlling neuronal excitability. Nav1.6 is the most abundantly expressed VGSCs subtype in the adult central nervous system and has been found to contribute to facilitate the hyperexcitability of neurons after electrical induction of status epilepticus (SE). To clarify the exact expression patterns of Nav1.6 during epileptogenesis, we ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of a reactive astrogliosis in multiple sclerosis
A reactive astrogliosis is a prominent feature of the response to injury in the central nervous system (CNS), and studies in both man and animals have provided a well-defined sequence of morphologic changes that accompany these events. However, the contribution of a reactive astrogliois to disease pathogenesis has until recently, remained poorly understood. Now, with the development of transgen...
متن کاملDiffusion barriers evoked in the rat cortex by reactive astrogliosis.
Changes in extracellular space (ECS) diffusion parameters in astrogliotic tissue around a unilateral cortical stab wound were determined from concentration-time profiles of tetramethylammonium (TMA(+)) using TMA(+)-selective microelectrodes. Three diffusion parameters-ECS volume fraction alpha (alpha = ECS volume/ total tissue volume), tortuosity lambda (lambda(2) = D/ADC; where D is the free a...
