Nutrition, brain aging, and neurodegeneration.

12 Oct 2009 The onset of age-related neurodegenerative diseases superimposed on a declining nervous system could enhance the motor and cognitive behavioral deficits that normally occur in senescence. It is likely that, in cases of severe deficits in memory or ... Read more...

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) expression in human corneal fibroblast decreased with age.

27 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Mechanisms by which fibroblast networks between stromal lamellae are laid in the corneal stroma are far from clear. We have investigated the role of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) by in vitro studies in the human ... Read more...

Selective estrogen receptor modulators decrease reactive astrogliosis in the injured brain: effects of aging and prolonged depletion of ovarian hormones.

22 Sep 2009 After brain injury, astrocytes acquire a reactive phenotype characterized by a series of morphological and molecular modifications, including the expression of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin. Previous studies have shown that estradiol ... Read more...
