Imaging of cortical astrocytes using 2-photon laser scanning microscopy in the intact mouse brainGuo Feng Tian
Center for Aging and Developmental Biology, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Adv Drug Deliv Rev 58:773-87. 2006....
Adenosine is crucial for deep brain stimulation-mediated attenuation of tremorLane Bekar
Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Nat Med 14:75-80. 2008....
Loss of astrocytic domain organization in the epileptic brainNancy Ann Oberheim
Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics, Center for Translational Neuromedicine, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
J Neurosci 28:3264-76. 2008..Reorganization of astrocytes may, in concert with dendritic sprouting and new synapse formation, form the structural basis for recurrent excitation in the epileptic brain...
Cortical spreading depression causes and coincides with tissue hypoxiaTakahiro Takano
Center for Aging and Developmental Biology, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Box 645, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Nat Neurosci 10:754-62. 2007..Increasing O2 availability shortens the duration of CSD and improves local redox state. Our results indicate that tissue hypoxia associated with CSD is caused by a transient increase in O2 demand exceeding vascular O2 supply...
Astrocyte-mediated control of cerebral blood flowTakahiro Takano
Center for Aging and Developmental Biology, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical School, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Nat Neurosci 9:260-7. 2006..These observations implicate astrocytes in the control of local microcirculation and suggest that one of their physiological roles is to mediate vasodilation in response to increased neural activity...
Critical role of connexin 43 in secondary expansion of traumatic spinal cord injuryChunlan Huang
Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics, Center for Translational Neuromedicine, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
J Neurosci 32:3333-8. 2012..Connexins may thereby constitute a new therapeutic target in spinal cord injury...
Systemic administration of an antagonist of the ATP-sensitive receptor P2X7 improves recovery after spinal cord injuryWeiguo Peng
Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics, Center for Translational Neuromedicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:12489-93. 2009..1), which crosses the blood-brain barrier. Systemic administration of BBG may thus comprise a readily feasible approach by which to treat traumatic SCI in humans...
Neonatal chimerization with human glial progenitor cells can both remyelinate and rescue the otherwise lethally hypomyelinated shiverer mouseMartha S Windrem
Department of Neurology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Cell Stem Cell 2:553-65. 2008..These data demonstrate that the neonatal transplantation of human glial progenitor cells can effectively treat disorders of congenital and perinatal hypomyelination...
Astrocytic Ca2+ signaling evoked by sensory stimulation in vivoXiaohai Wang
Center for Aging and Developmental Biology, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Nat Neurosci 9:816-23. 2006..These findings indicate that astrocytes respond to synaptic input, by means of spillover or ectopic release of glutamate, and that increases in astrocytic Ca(2+) occur independently of postsynaptic excitatory activity...
Neuroprotection following fluid percussion brain trauma: a pilot study using quercetinElisabeth Schultke
Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, and Surgery, Division of Neurosurgery, University of Saskatchewan, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 5E5, Canada
J Neurotrauma 22:1475-84. 2005..Quercetin significantly prevented decrease of glutathione levels and decreased myeloperoxidase activity. We conclude that this dietary flavonoid has therapeutic potential following brain trauma...
An astrocytic basis of epilepsyGuo-Feng Tian
Center for Aging and Developmental Biology, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Nat Med 11:973-81. 2005..Our results show an unanticipated key role for astrocytes in seizure activity. As such, these findings identify astrocytes as a proximal target for the treatment of epileptic disorders...
Protective effect of high glucose against ischemia-induced synaptic transmission damage in rat hippocampal slicesGuo Feng Tian
Traumatic Brain Injury Laboratory, Cara Phelan Centre for Trauma Research and Department of Anaesthesia, St Michael s Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W8 Canada
J Neurophysiol 88:236-48. 2002..These results indicate that high glucose in ACSF during the period before and after ischemia significantly protects CA1 synaptic transmission against in vitro ischemia-induced damage through postponing the occurrence of ID...
