Astrocytes derived from the mouse brain mesencephalon and striatum regulate neuronal morphogenesis in a region-specific manner in vitro. To begin defining molecular mechanisms that may underlie this functional heterogeneity, lectin probes were used to compare surface glycoproteins expressed by astro

We reported previously the protective effect of 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E(2)) on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced dopamine (DA) depletion. This protection was stereospecific, because 17beta-E(2) showed activity but 17alpha-estradiol (17alpha-E(2)) did not. The mechanisms
## Abstract Acute hypoxia modulates various cell processes, such as cell excitability, through the regulation of ion channel activity. Given the central role of Ca^2+^ signaling in the physiological functioning of astrocytes, we have investigated how acute hypoxia regulates such signaling, and comp
