## Abstract Lactate is transported across cell membranes by diffusional, saturable cotransport with protons, mediated by monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). This transport is bidirectional and in the absence of a transcellular H^+^ gradient, it can increase the intracellular concentration of lacta
## Abstract Glutamateβinduced excitotoxicity has been implicated as an important mechanism underlying a variety of brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. Previously we have shown that taurine has protective effects against glutamateβinduced neuronal injury in cultured neurons. Here we propo
Toxoplasrna gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite, is able to replicate in human brain cells. We recently showed that interferon (1FN)-y-activated cells from glioblastoma line 86HG39 were able to restrict Toxoplusma growth. The effector mechanism responsible for this toxoplasmostatic effect was
