Structure of the planarian central nervous system (CNS) revealed by neuronal cell markers.
Planarians are considered to be among the most primitive animals which developed the central nervous system (CNS). To understand the origin and evolution of the CNS, we have isolated a neural marker gene from a planarian, Dugesia japonica, and analyzed the structure of the planarian CNS by in situ hybridization. The planarian CNS is located on the ventral side of the body, and composed of a mas...
متن کاملP 96: Role of Thrombin in Inflammatory Central Nervous System (CNS) Diseases
Thrombin is a multifunctional enzyme which has key roles in coagulation cascade and inflammatory events. The pro-inflammatory functions of thrombin occur by different mechanisms including increasing mast cell degranulation, up-regulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and promoting the secretion of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Dysregulated signaling functions of thro...
متن کاملCentral nervous system neuronal migration.
Widespread cell migrations are the hallmark of vertebrate brain development. In the early embryo, morphogenetic movements of precursor cells establish the rhombomeres of the hindbrain, the external germinal layer of the cerebellum, and the regional boundaries of the forebrain. In midgestation, after primary neurogenesis in compact ventricular zones has commenced, individual postmitotic cells un...
متن کاملNeuronal cell lineage in the vertebrate central nervous system.
Fundamental, yet unresolved, issues in developmental neurobiology concern the relative influence of genetic vs. epigenetic factors in determining cell phenotype and establishing positional relationships among clonally related cells in the developing and mature vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Advances in our understanding of how cells acquire their identity awaited a means to introduce ...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
