9783540620761: Molecular Signaling and Regulation in Glial Cells: A Key to Remyelination and Functional Repair

Synopsis

A survey of recent advances in the area of cellular and molecular biology of glial cells and their involvement in remyelination and functional repair in the CNS. A major part of the book deals with signalling paths within and among neural cells. Glial cells (astrocytes, oligodentrocytes, microglial cells) themselves release substantial amounts of cytokines, growth factors and other signalling molecules, which play an important role during injury and regeneration. Another signalling route between neurons and glial cells follows ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. In addition to animal models, human oligodentrocytes in cell culture and in the human MS brain are characterized with respect to their immunocytochemistry and function.
