## Abstract Methylene Blue (MB), following its introduction to biology in the 19th century by Ehrlich, has found uses in various areas of medicine and biology. At present, MB is the first line of treatment in methemoglobinemias, is used frequently in the treatment of ifosfamideβinduced encephalopat

The accessibility of the zebrafish embryo offers unique possibilities to study the mechanisms that guide growing axons in the developing vertebrate central nervous system. This review examines the current understanding of the pathfinding decisions by the growing axons, their substrates, and the reco
Apotransferrin (aTf), intracranially administered into newborn rats, produces increased myelination with marked increases in the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP), phospholipids and galactolipids, and mRNAs of MBP and 2', 3' cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNPase). Cytoskeletal proteins su
The nervous system has an enhanced capacity to generate seizures during a restricted phase of postnatal development. Studies in animals and particularly in in vitro brain slices from hippocampus and neocortex have been instrumental in furthering an understanding of the underlying processes. Developm

The kinetics of anaerobic oxidation of D-glucose (GH) by methylene blue (MB Ο© ) was investigated in a closed system. The reaction was first order with respect to the concentration of meth
