Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are pluripotent and thus can differentiate into every cell type present in the body. Directed differentiation into motor neurons has been described for pluripotent cells. Although neurotrophic factors promote neuronal survival,

The Role of Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels in Seizure and Excitotoxicity
Cells, 2014 Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are a family of polymodal cation channels with some degree of Ca2+ permeability. Although initially thought to be channels mediating store-operated Ca2+ influx, TRPC channels can be activated by ...

Time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions following transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils [PDF]
, 2001 The time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions was investigated in the gerbil model of transient cerebral ischemia. Animals were subjected to both common carotid arteries occlusion for 5 min.

A Cytotoxic, Co-operative Interaction Between Energy Deprivation and Glutamate Release From System x\u3csub\u3ec\u3c/sub\u3e\u3csup\u3e−\u3c/sup\u3e Mediates Aglycemic Neuronal Cell Death [PDF]
, 2015 The astrocyte cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc−) contributes substantially to the excitotoxic neuronal cell death facilitated by glucose deprivation. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism by which this occurred.

Methylxanthines, Seizures, and Excitotoxicity [PDF]
, 2010 Clinical evidence, in particular the wide use of theophylline as a bronchodilator, suggests that methylxanthines can cause seizures in patients without known underlying epilepsy. Theophylline is also known to be an added risk factor for seizure exacerbation in patients with epilepsy.

Rodent ischemic stroke models and their relevance in preclinical research
NeuroprotectionStroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke caused by an occluded vessel accounting for the majority of cases. Current treatments are limited to recanalization, either through thrombectomy or thrombolysis.
