Propofol inhibits aquaporin 4 expression through a protein kinase C-dependent pathway in an astrocyte model of cerebral ischemia/reoxygenation.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) plays a key role in maintaining water balance in the central nervous system, and its dysfunction may lead to brain edema. Previous studies have suggested that propofol may be involved in neuroprotection by preventing ... Read more...

Molecular signatures of disease brain endothelia provide new sites for CNS-directed enzyme therapy.

11 Sep 2009 The brain vasculature forms an immense network such that most neural cells are in contact with a microvessel. Here we tested the hypothesis that endothelia lining these vessels can be harnessed to create a cellular reservoir of enzyme replacement ... Read more...

[Between Griesinger and Kraepelin--Ludwig Meyer (1827-1900): anatomist and reform psychiatrist]

7 Sep 2009 Ludwig Meyer worked as resident psychiatrist, scientist and university teacher in Berlin, Schwetz, Hamburg and for the longest time in Göttingen. He promoted social psychiatry, i. e. extramural treatment, "Milieutherapie" within the institution and ... Read more...
