Glucocorticoids are the first line of choice in the treatment of cerebral edema associated with brain tumors. High-dose glucocorticoids reduce the extent of edema within hours, often relieving critical increases in intracranial pressure, but the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids modulate brain wat

Two main characteristics of astrocytes are their elaborated intracellular calcium signaling and their high degree of intercellular communication mediated by gap junctional channels. In these cells a number of studies have contributed to demonstrate that the combination of these two properties provid

The protease thrombin seems to play a central role in events following neural injury, whereby the enzyme can act, in concert with other molecules as a hormone or as a growth factor. In cells derived from the nervous system, thrombin induces changes in morphology and proliferation. The signalling mec
