1. Exploring immune cell functions and ways to make use of them
Abstract : In addition to host defense, alternative functions of immune cells are emerging. Immune cells are crucial during healing of injured tissue, in formation of new blood vessels, angiogenesis, and also in maintaining the balance in inflammation having immune regulating functions. READ MORE

2. Apoptosis-related mechanisms in the immature brain after hypoxia-ischemia
Abstract : Aims: To characterize the activation of caspases-3 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the neonatal brain after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) injury and evaluate the neuroprotective effect of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) protein, erythropoietin (EPO) and the non-erythropoietic derivative asialoEPO. Methods: Seven-day-old rats or 9-day-old mice were subjected to HI. READ MORE

3. Electrical Bioimpedance Cerebral Monitoring: Fundamental Steps towards Clinical Application
Abstract : Neurologically related injuries cause a similar number of deaths as cancer, and brain damage is the second commonest cause of death in the world and probably the leading cause of permanent disability. The devastating effects of most cases of brain damage could be avoided if it were detected and medical treatment initiated in time. READ MORE

4. Aspects of pathological apoptosis in the immature brain after hypoxia-ischemia
Abstract : The cause of mechanisms underlying perinatal brain injury is not fully known, but it results in a wide variety of neurological impairments in the affected children. When injured, neurons of the newborn brain are prone to undergo programmed cell death, apoptosis, since this genetic program is normally activated in some cells during development of the nervous system, even in the perinatal period.

5. Pericytes in Hypoxia and Ischemic Stroke
Abstract : Molecular oxygen is essential for most living species. Consequently, hypoxic or ischemic conditions are major cellular stressors and prominent pathological features in ischemic stroke. Stroke is a global health problem and remains the second leading cause of death or disability worldwide. READ MORE
