Zinc: the brain's dark horse.

30 Oct 2009 Zinc is a life-sustaining trace element, serving structural, catalytic, and regulatory roles in cellular biology. It is required for normal mammalian brain development and physiology, such that deficiency or excess of zinc has been shown to ... Read more...

The role of oxygen in regulating neural stem cells in development and disease.

30 Aug 2009 Oxygen (O2) is a substrate for energy production in the cell and is a rapid regulator of cellular metabolism. Recent studies have also implicated O2 and its signal transduction pathways in controlling cell proliferation, fate, and morphogenesis ... Read more...

Inflammatory pseudotumors of the central nervous system.

3 Aug 2009 Inflammatory pseudotumor is a disease with unsettled pathogenesis. The brain is a rare site of occurrence. The aim of this study is to investigate ALK-1 protein expression and IgG4-positive plasma cells detection in 4 intracranial inflammatory ... Read more...
