## Abstract Within the brain, HIVβ1 targets the microglia and astrocytes. Previous studies have reported that viral entry into astrocytes is independent of CD4, in contrast to microglia. We aimed to determine whether chemokine receptors play a role in mediating CD4βindependent HIVβ1 entry into astr

The neuropeptides galanin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are strongly up-regulated in motoneurons following axotomy. Earlier reports have suggested that peptides might be released from injured neurons to recruit surrounding glia. In this study, the effects of galanin and CGRP on cultured
## Abstract Within the brain, quinolinic acid (QUIN) is an important neurotoxin, especially in AIDS dementia complex (ADC). Its production by monocytic lineage cells is increased in the context of inflammation. However, it is not known whether QUIN promotes inflammation. Astrocytes are important in
