Platelet-activating-factor (PAF) is a potent, biologically active lipid mediator produced by several tissues, including brain. Its role in the central nervous system (CNS) is still unknown, even if its involvement in brain damage and neurotoxicity has been postulated. Its production by neural cells
Programmed cell death contributes to the morbidity and mortality of several neurological disorders including stroke, Alzheimer's disease and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated dementia. Patients with HIV dementia show evidence of programmed cell death in brain. In vitro data demonstrates
