The Role of Deimination in Regenerative Reprogramming of Neurons
Neurons from the adult central nervous system (CNS) demonstrate limited mRNA transport and localized protein synthesis versus develo** neurons, correlating with lower regenerative capacity. We found that dei...

Neurovascular Mechanisms of Ischemia Tolerance Against Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in secondary ischemia. This secondary ischemic insult is implicated in post-TBI pathophysiology. Pharmacological intervention to elevate cerebral blood flow can improve ...

Ischemic Preconditioning Alters the Epigenetic Profile of the Brain from Ischemic Intolerance to Ischemic Tolerance
Ischemic preconditioning is an innate neuroprotective mechanism in which a sub-injurious ischemic exposure increases the brain’s ability to withstand a subsequent, normally injurious ischemic insult. Part of i...

Anoxia Resistance in Lower and Higher Vertebrates
The mammalian brain has a high obligatory rate of energy consumption which renders it extremely sensitive to even brief periods of oxygen deprivation. In contrast, the crucian carp (Carassius carassius) and some ...

Differential Effects of Delta and Epsilon Protein Kinase C in Modulation of Postischemic Cerebral Blood Flow
Cerebral ischemia causes cerebral blood flow (CBF) derangements resulting in neuronal damage by enhanced protein kinase C delta (δPKC) levels leading to hippocampal and cortical neuronal death after ischemia. ...

Regulation of extracellular glutamate levels in the long-term anoxic turtle striatum: coordinated activity of glutamate transporters, adenosine, K ATP + channels and GABA
Early in anoxia the mammalian brain experiences an uncontrolled release of glutamate, which combined with the failure of glutamate reuptake mechanisms, leads to massive neurotoxic increases in extracellular gl...
