Microglia have been shown to be immunostimulated by inflammatory cytokines and produce a number of toxic mediators. Here we report that immunostimulated microglia can synergistically enhance the Nmethyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated excitotoxicity in rat cerebellar granule cells (CGC) in cult

Increasing data suggest that glutamate might act as a cell-signaling molecule in non-neuronal tissues such as the skin. Here we demonstrate the presence of functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors in human keratinocytes. NMDA receptor expression strongly reflects the degree of
## Abstract The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIVβ1) glycoprotein gp120 causes neuronal cell death; however, the molecular mechanisms of the neurotoxic effect remain largely unresolved. It has been suggested that gp120 evokes cell death by inducing the release of neurotoxins, including gluta
This study investigated the modulatory actions of adenosine and β₯-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on several aspects of N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA)-induced neurotoxicity, including neuronal loss, atrophy, necrosis, and calcium accumulation in the hippocampus. For this purpose, we combined unilateral intrahi
## Abstract Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raises the possibility that brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its highβaffinity receptor TrkB may be important as modulators of this excitatory input i
