  1. Glial Cell Calcium Signaling Mediates Capillary Regulation of Blood Flow in the Retina

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2016-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The results show that, independent of arterioles, capillaries actively dilate and regulate blood flow.

  2. Micro RNA-125b (miRNA-125b) function in astrogliosis and glial cell proliferation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2010-03-27 Biomarkers

    Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional modulators of gene expression that regulate the stability and translation of their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

  3. Biomarkers of glial cell proliferation and differentiation in culture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Frontiers in bioscience (Scholar edition) 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    The two major intermediate filament (IF) proteins of astrocytes are vimentin and GFAP.

  4. Appearance of tau-2 immunoreactivity in glial cells in human brain with cerebral infarction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2000-06-01 Drug development

    Appearance of tau epitopes in ischemic foci was investigated immunohistochemically on a series of autopsied human brains using a panel of anti-tau antibodies.

  5. Alterations of the blood-brain barrier and glial cells in white-matter lesions in cerebrovascular and Alzheimer's disease patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Stroke 1996-11-01 Biomarkers

    Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier is more prominent in white-matter lesions seen in ischemic CVD than in AD and may have a role in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular white-matter lesions.
