Immunohistochemical localization of glial fibrillary acidic protein in human glial neoplasms [PDF]
The presence and distribution of glial fibrillary acidic protein in fixed, paraffin embedded tissue were studied in 85 human intracranial neoplasms, using the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase method. In some cases, indirect immunofluorescence of frozen sections was used as well.

TGF-beta(2)- and H2O2-Induced Biological Changes in Optic Nerve Head Astrocytes Are Reduced by the Antioxidant Alpha-Lipoic Acid [PDF]
Background/Aims: The goal of the present study was to determine whether transforming growth factor-beta(2) (TGF-beta(2))- and oxidative stress-induced cellular changes in cultured human optic nerve head (ONH) astrocytes could be reduced by pretreatment ...

The hGFAP-driven conditional TSPO knockout is protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
The mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) has been implicated in CNS diseases. Here, we sought to determine the specific role of TSPO in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most studied animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Altered expression of Alzheimer's disease-related proteins in male hypogonadal mice [PDF]
Age-related depletion of estrogens and androgens is associated with an increase in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain pathology and diminished cognitive function. Here we investigated AD-associated molecular and cellular changes in brains of aged hypogonadal

Exploring the Production of Extracellular Matrix by Astrocytes in Response to Mimetic Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]
Following injury to the central nervous system, extracellular modulations are apparent at the site of injury, often resulting in a glial scar. Astrocytes are mechanosensitive cells, which can create a neuroinhibitory extracellular environment in response

Clinical utility of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein in glial neoplasm
Background: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a member of the cytoskeletal protein family and is widely expressed in astroglial and neural stem cells, also in glial tumors such as astrocytoma and Glioblastoma (GBM). Increased GFAP expression and disruption of the blood–brain barrier are the characteristic features of GBM.

Müller glia activation in response to inherited retinal degeneration is highly varied and disease-specific [PDF]
Despite different aetiologies, most inherited retinal disorders culminate in photoreceptor loss, which induces concomitant changes in the neural retina, one of the most striking being reactive gliosis by Müller cells.

IL-4 Inhibits IL-1β-Induced Depressive-Like Behavior and Central Neurotransmitter Alterations [PDF]
It has been known that activation of the central innate immune system or exposure to stress can disrupt balance of anti-/proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the ...

Modelling and Characterization of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein [PDF]
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is an intermediate-filament (IF) protein that maintains the astrocytes of the Central Nervous System in Human. This is differentially expressed during serological studies in inflamed condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Glial reaction in the hippocampus after global cardiogenic ischemia [PDF]
Many experimental surgerical procedures have been perfomed in the analyse of the phenomenon of brain trophism and plasticity, however undesirable intercorrence can occour leading to specific changes in the results that should be taken into attention.
