Cis-acting regulation of brain-specific ANK3 gene expression by a genetic variant associated with bipolar disorder
Several genome-wide association studies for bipolar disorder (BD) have found a strong association of the Ankyrin 3 (ANK3) gene. This association spans numerous linked single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in an ...

Role of Ionic Fluxes in the Apoptotic Cell Death of Cultured Cerebellar Granule Neurons
Cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGC) increase survival in a medium containing 25 mM KCl (K25), and they die apoptotically when cultures are treated with staurosporine (St) or are transferred to a 5-mM KCl...
