Focal cerebral ischaemia and post-ischaemic reperfusion cause cerebral capillary dysfunction,
resulting in oedema formation and haemorrhagic conversion. There are substantial gaps …

Advancements in molecular biology have led to a greater understanding of the individual
proteins responsible for generating cerebral edema. In large part, the study of cerebral edema …

Pathological conditions in the central nervous system, including stroke and trauma, are often
exacerbated by cerebral edema. We recently identified a nonselective cation channel, the …

✓Cerebral edema is caused by a variety of pathological conditions that affect the brain. It is
associated with two separate pathophysiological processes with distinct molecular and …

The magnitude of damage to cerebral tissues following head trauma is determined by the
primary injury, caused by the kinetic energy delivered at the time of impact, plus numerous …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors formed from combinations of α3, β2, β4, and α5 subunits
are found in chicken ciliary ganglion neurons and some human neuroblastoma cell lines. We …

Chronic nicotine exposure in tobacco smokers or experimental animals is known to cause
an increase in brain binding sites for nicotine. It has been proposed that this is an adaptive …

Functional effects of human α5 nicotinic ACh receptor (AChR) subunits coassembled with α3
and β2 or with α3 and β4 subunits, were investigated in Xenopus oocytes. The presence of …

The choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) secretes higher volumes of fluid (cerebrospinal fluid,
CSF) than any other epithelium and simultaneously functions as the blood–CSF barrier to …

The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shocked the world due to its persistence, COVID-19-related
morbidity and mortality, and the high mutability of the virus. One of the major …
