Combination treatment with progesterone and rehabilitation training further promotes behavioral recovery after acute ischemic stroke in mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that combination treatment with progesterone and rehabilitation training had no additive effect in reducing infarct volume, but combination therapy exhibited enhanced efficacy in promoting functional recovery after ischemic stroke, suggesting progester one and rehabilitationTraining may exert their effects via different mechanisms.

p53 Has a Direct Apoptogenic Role at the Mitochondria

TL;DR: Evidence that p53 translocation to the mitochondria occurs in vivo in irradiated thymocytes is provided and it is shown that the p53 protein can directly induce permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane by forming complexes with the protective BclXL and Bcl2 proteins, resulting in cytochrome c release.

Glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signalling.

TL;DR: Astrocytes regulate neuronal calcium levels through the calcium-dependent release of glutamate, and an NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor-mediated increase in neuronal calcium is demonstrated.
