## Abstract Aberrant activation of wingless (Wnt) signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Recent studies suggested a role of Wnt signaling in gliomas, the most common primary brain tumors. We investigated 70 gliomas of different malignancy grades for promoter hypermethylation
## Abstract Acidβsensing ion channels (ASICs) are widely expressed in neurons, where they serve in pain and mechanical sensation, and contribute to learning and memory. Six ASIC subunit proteins form homoβ or heteromeric channel complexes with distinct physiological properties. Of such complexes, o
## Abstract While numerous oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) exist in the adult central nervous system (CNS), the molecular signals that promote or inhibit their differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) are not known. To investigate whether remyelination in the adult CNS is regulate
Mechanisms of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I gene regulation in cells of the CNS have been studied in vitro. Astrocytes in primary cultures, but neither oligodendrocytes nor neurons, constitutively expressed cell surface MHC class I molecules. Interferon-gamma (IFN-.I) treatment led
