a7 Nicotinic receptors are calcium permeant and provide neuroprotection against many insults. We investigated the roles of intracellular calcium ions and downstream calcium channels in this protection. The a7 agonist GTS-21 prevented pheochromocytoma cell death induced by nerve growth factor + serum deprivation over a 3-day interval. This effect was blocked by the intracellular calcium chelator...

Zusammenfassung Der liberalen politischen Theorie von Judith N. Shklar wird zunehmend die Fähigkeit zugesprochen, Pfade aus der Krise Demokratie zu weisen. Dabei lassen sich eine moderate und radikalere Lesart demokratietheoretischen Anschlussfähigkeit Shklars „Liberalismus Furcht“ unterscheiden.

The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a type III intermediate filament (IF) that highly expressed in astrocytes, neural stem cells, and gliomas. Gliomas are heterogeneous group of primary brain tumors arise from glia cells or rely on accurate diagnosis for prognosis treatment strategies. GFAP differentially between glioma subtypes and, therefore, often used as diagnostic marker. However...
