    Nicotine Inhibits Microglial Proliferation and Is Neuroprotective in Global Ischemia Rats

    Ischemic injury in rodent models reliably leads to the activation of microglia, which might play a detrimental role in neuronal survival. Our preliminary studies suggest that nicotine plays a potential role in...

    An L-Type Calcium Channel Agonist, Bay K8644, Extends the Window of Intervention Against Ischemic Neuronal Injury

    Our previous data indicate that the inhibition of L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) might be the cause of post-ischemic neuronal injury and that the activation of LTCCs can give rise to neuroprotection. In the p...
