Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a secreted heparin-binding cytokine that signals diverse functions, including lineage-specific differentiation of glial progenitor cells, axonal outgrowth and angiogenesis. Neurotoxicity mediated by glutamate receptor is thought to play a role in various neurodegenerative disor
## Abstract Previously, we showed that taurine protects neurons against glutamateโinduced excitotoxicity by inhibiting the glutamateโinduced increase of [Ca^2+^]~i~. In this study, we report that taurine prevents glutamateโinduced chromosomal condensation, indicating that taurine inhibits glutamate
## Abstract Thalidomide, an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factorโฮฑ (TNFโฮฑ) production, has been indicated to be useful for many inflammatory and oncogenic diseases. In the present study, we examined whether thalidomide (50 mg/kg/day, p.o.) has a protective effect against NโmethylโDโaspartate (NMDA)โi
