## Abstract The brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in pain hypersensitivity. BDNF is the ligand of P2X4 receptors (P2X4R) in the microglia. The causative factors involving the P2X4R over expression in the microglia remains unclear. Mast cell activation has a close relati

Bulk-isolated microglial cells from the adult rat brain grown in N2 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum survived for at least 2 weeks, and their purity was > 99% at day 1 and > 93% at day 7. The phenotype of freshly plated cells was comparable to that of "resting," ramified microglia in vi
## Abstract The Notch signaling pathway plays a crucial role in specifying cellular fate in metazoan development by regulating communication between adjacent cells. Correlative studies suggested an involvement of Notch in hematopoietic cell development. Here, we report that the Notch pathway is exp
