Nitric oxide as a regulatory factor for aquaporin-1 and 4 gene expression following brain ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the NO modulation of AQPs gene expression after brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat, and found that brain I/R injury provokes brain edema by alterations of AQP expression, and the NO is the main signaling factor that modulates gene expression of these channels.

Acidente vascular encefálico: flavonoides como possível estratégia neuroprotetora

TL;DR: Algumas informacoes aree descrevemos sobre o acidente vascular encefalico e sua fisiopatologia, os processos neuroinflamatorios decorrentes, como liberacao de oxido nitrico e ativacao da glia e as acoes terapeuticas dos flavonoides.

Targeting the Pyk2/MCU Pathway, Ruthenium Red and Nimodipne Alone and in Combination Evoked NeuroProtective Effect in Experimentally Induced Brain Stroke

TL;DR: This is the first study to reveal the neuroprotective effects of RR, NMD and their combination in cerebral brain stroke model and improved cerebral blood flow through down regulation of Pyk2 and MCU gene expression in brain tissue.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Direct Proinflammatory Effect of C-Reactive Protein on Human Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: The hypothesis that CRP may play a direct role in promoting the inflammatory component of atherosclerosis and present a potential target for the treatment of Atherosclerosis is supported.

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.
