Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAstrocytes Store for Memory and CognitionMajid Karimi BaghmalekiIn humans, protoplasmic astrocytes are found with high density in the cortex and hippocampus (both parts responsible for memory and cognition) and each astrocyte is in contact with two million of synapses. Astrocytes are responsible for the synaptogenesis and the removal of synapses, which is the basis of learning and memory. The synaptogenesis increases sevenfold with the addition of astrocytes … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 17,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Exercise Prior or After Ischemia on the Density of Neurons and Astrocytes in the Brain of RatsLaila Cristina Moreira Damázio, Raphael Teixeira Rocha Melo, Maira de Castro Lima et al.The aim of this study was to analyse the density of astrocytes and neurons in the motor areas of the cortex, striatum and hippocampus of rats that performed exercise before or after cerebral ischemia. A total of 36 Wistar rats were separated into two groups: One that was subjected to Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) and the other that underwent … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWorking Memory Learning Method and Astrocytes Number in Different Subfields of Rat's HippocampusJahanshahi Mehrdad, Sadeghi Yousef, Hosseini Ahmad et al.The aim of this study was evaluation of the astrocytes number in different subfields of rat's Hippocampus after spatial learning with usage of Morris Water Maze technique and working memory method. In this study, between 2005-2006 years in Pasteur institute of Iran-Tehran and histological department of Gorgan University with usage of Morris Water Maze and working memory technique, we used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHeroin-Induces Differential Protein Expression by Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA)Jessica L. Reynolds, Supriya D. Mahajan, Donald Sykes, Madhavan P.N. NairHeroin use is postulated to act as a cofactor in the neuropathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Astrocytes, integral components of the CNS, are reported to be susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Upon activation, astrocytes release a number of immunoregulatory products or modulate the expression of a number of proteins that foster the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. However, the role … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment of Genetic Constructions for Exctocytosis ControlIrina Nikolaevna Dominova, Vitaly Anvarovich Kasymov, Ekaterina Vladimirovna Silina et al.A fragment of the research project devoted to the development of genetic control of exocytosis is presented in the work, which can further ensure the success of targeted therapy of various diseases, including neurodegenerative ones. For the purpose of specific transfection of intracellular cascades in astrocytes in vivo, we have developed an experimental sample of the reagent kit. The latter … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2018 · 7,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction and Roles of Glial Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1-Associated Dementia Neuroinflammation: A ReviewC. Chao, A. GhorpadeProblem statement: Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and its cognate targets, the Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), were differentially expressed in human brain samples with or without HIV-1 infection or HIV-1 Encephalitis (HIVE). Approach: A through literature review demonstrated that cell culture models of Central Nervous System (CNS) cell types had been used to illustrate the intricate temporal patterns of TIMP-1/MMP expression, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
