Glial functions in the blood-brain communication at the circumventricular organs
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 The circumventricular organs (CVOs) are located around the brain ventricles, lack a blood-brain barrier (BBB) and sense blood-derived molecules. This review discusses recent advances in the importance of CVO functions, especially glial cells transferring

Targeting Tanycytes: Balance between Efficiency and Specificity.
, 2020 Tanycytes are peculiar ependymoglial cells lining the bottom and the lateral wall of the third ventricle. For a decade, the utilization of molecular genetic approaches allowed us to make important discoveries about their diverse physiological functions ...

Extramedullary tanycytic ependymoma of the lumbar spinal cord [PDF]
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine, 2020 Tanycytic ependymoma is a rare variant of ependymoma that commonly affects the cervical and thoracic spinal cord. It usually arises as intramedullary lesions, and extramedullary cases are extremely rare. We report a case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with tanycytic ependymoma in her lumbar spine at level 2-3.

TSPO: an emerging role in appetite for a therapeutically promising biomarker
Open Biology, 2021 There is accumulating evidence that an obesogenic Western diet causes neuroinflammatory damage to the brain, which then promotes further appetitive behaviour. Neuroinflammation has been extensively studied by analysing the translocator protein of 18 kDa (

Tanycytes and the Control of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Flux Into Portal Capillaries
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Central and peripheral mechanisms that modulate energy intake, partition and expenditure determine energy homeostasis. Thyroid hormones (TH) regulate energy expenditure through the control of basal metabolic rate and thermogenesis; they also modulate ...

Glial Glucokinase Expression in Adult and Post-Natal Development of the Hypothalamic Region
ASN Neuro, 2010 It has recently been proposed that hypothalamic glial cells sense glucose levels and release lactate as a signal to activate adjacent neurons. GK (glucokinase), the hexokinase involved in glucose sensing in pancreatic β-cells, is also expressed in the ...

Tanycytic Ependymoma: A Challenging Histological Diagnosis [PDF]
Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2013 Tanycytic ependymoma is a rare form of ependymoma that usually arises in the intramedullary spine. It has a unique histology emphasized by the inconspicuous ependymal pattern of cells and close resemblance to schwannoma and astrocytoma. The authors report a 50-year-old man with a cervical tanycytic ependymoma that was initially thought to be a ...
