Your Neuron-Glia Co-Cultures Deserve the Best
There is a lot of cross talk between neurons and glia. In neuro-immuno and neuro-degenerative diseases this cross talk is dysregulated. Robust neuron-glia co-cultures are needed for drug discovery and basic research.Here is a study that references use of co-culturing to study the interactive effects of the viral protein HIV-1 Tat lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on enteric glia and neurons.Here is a study that references use of co-culturing to study the interactive effects of the viral protein HIV-1 Tat lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on enteric glia and neurons.

Perky ERKies and Depression
ERK1/2 Signaling and DepressionExtracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2- (ERK1/2-) mediated cellular signaling plays a major role in synaptic and structural plasticity. Although ERK1/2 signaling has been shown to be involved in stress and depression. Phosphorylation of the receptor is important for maintaining healthy signaling, reduction of oxidative stress and induction of growth factors.We are pleased that our ERK1/2 markers have beenpublished in these type of studies. Here ' s a recent one: MARIA CONCETTA OLIANAS, Simona Dedoni, and PIER LUIGI ONALI. LPA1 mediates antidepressant-induced ERK1/2 signalling and prot...

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Conjugates
Conclusions:Researchers successfully developed a target-specific systemic delivery system of MSCs to the liver using HA-WGA conjugate. HA-WGA conjugate was synthesized by the coupling reaction of HA-aldehyde with amine group of WGA. GPC analysis revealed the successful synthesis of HA-WGA conjugate. CD analysis corroborated that the secondary structure of WGA remained stable even after conjugation to HA. HA-WGA conjugate appeared to bind to the surface of MSCs and remain stably for up to 1 h. After cell surface modification, most of HA-WGA/MSC complex could be systemically delivered to the liver 4 h after intravenous ...

MeCP2 and Nerve Injury
Conclusions: The study shows a regulatory role for MeCP2 in that changes in global redistribution can result in direct and indirect modulation of gene expression in the DRG. Alterations in genome-wide binding of MeCP2 therefore provide a molecular basis for a better understanding of epigenetic regulation-induced molecular changes underlying nerve injury.
