High sensitivity to carcinogens in the brain of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are commonly found among elderly patients. Chronic inflammation is the characteristic of both diseases. Amyloid-β peptide is the main inducer of inflammation in AD. Moreover...

Subcellular localization of low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor-immunoreactive protein in adult rat purkinje cells following traumatic injury
Cerebellar Purkinje cells in the rat express low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75 NGFR) antigen during development, but rarely in normal adult animals. In striking contrast, re-expression of p75 NGFR...

Chemical heterogeneity in adult rat cerebellar purkinje cells as revealed by zebrin I and low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor immunocytochemical expression following injury
Cerebellar Purkinje cells in rat express low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor during development, but rarely in normal adult animals. However, after either mechanical injury or colchicine treatment during...

C-PON immunoreactive neurons in the neostriatum of the hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus): a correlated light- and electron-microscopic study
The present study provides light- and electronmicroscopic immunocytochemical data on the presence of neurons that are immunoreactive to the C-terminal flanking peptide of neuropeptide Y, C-PON, in the neostria...

Immunocytochemical analysis of calcitonin gene-related peptide and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in Merkel cells and cutaneous free nerve endings of cats
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactivity were observed to coexist in Merkel cells of cats. No differences in peptide content were found between Merkel...
