The amino acid glutamate plays a key role in brain function. One of the major roles of glutamate is to mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). More recently, however, it has become clear that glutamate also serves a regulatory function thr
## Abstract ## Aims To test whether nerve growth factor (NGF) concentration in human bladder urothelium/suburothelium is related to detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder sensation, detrusor contractility, or other aspects of lower urinary tract function. ## Materials and Methods Concentration of N
Human central neurocytoma cells were cultured and characterized immunophenotypically and electrophysiologically to clarify their developmental potential. We conducted systematic in vitro studies utilizing fresh tissues from three patients. Initially small homogeneous cell clusters settled down onto
## Abstract The leptomeninges play a central role in the antiinflammatory response through the gliaβneuron interaction during systemic inflammation. In the present study, we examined the possible production of two potent antiinflammatory mediators, prostaglandin E~2~ (PGE~2~) and transforming growt
