A Synthesized Glucocorticoid- Induced Leucine Zipper Peptide Inhibits Retinal Müller Cell Gliosis
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018 Purpose: The anti-inflammatory activities of protein glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) have been demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. Here, we examined the potential effect of a synthetic peptide derived from the leucine zipper motif and proline-

Gliosis and Neurodegenerative Diseases: The Role of PET and MR Imaging
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Glial activation characterizes most neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, often anticipating clinical manifestations and macroscopical brain alterations. Although imaging techniques have improved diagnostic accuracy in many neurological conditions,

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962 ConclusionMorphologic and histochemical studies of glial reaction during Wallerian degeneration in the dorsal column of the spinal cord have shown that reactive gliosis is independent of alterations of the blood-spinal cord barrier. These data suggest that substances inducing gliosis may pre-exist in normal central nervous system tissue.

Hypothalamic inflammation and gliosis in obesity [PDF]
Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2015 Hypothalamic inflammation and gliosis are recently discovered mechanisms that may contribute to obesity pathogenesis. Current research in this area suggests that investigation of these central nervous system responses may provide opportunities to develop new weight loss treatments.In rodents, hypothalamic inflammation and gliosis occur rapidly with ...

Opioids, gliosis and central immunomodulation [PDF]
Journal of Anesthesia, 2018 Neuropathic pain is a common health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite being studied extensively, the cellular and molecular events underlying the central immunomodulation and the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain is still controversial.
