The MTOC/Golgi Complex at the T-Cell Immunological Synapse
T cells effectively explore the tissue in search for antigens. When activated, they dedicate a big amount of energy and resources to arrange a complex structure called immunological synapse (IS), containing a ...

Increase of Secondary Processes of Microglial and Astroglial Cells After MPTP-Induced Degeneration in Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta of Non Human Primates
Nigral dopaminergic areas from Parkinsonian patients show an increase of reactive astrocytes and active microglia. The reaction of these two cell types is a clear evidence of inflammatory response associated w...

Inflammatory Response in Parkinsonism
Inflammatory responses have been proposed as important factors in dopaminergic neuro-degeneration in Parkinsonism. Increasing evidence suggests that the alteration of the glial microenvironment induced by neur...

Blood Vessels And Neurodegeneration In Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterised by a differential vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in the mesencephalon. The loss is severe in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) (85-90%), intermediate in th...
