English

Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

Subtle shifts in the ratio between pro-and antiapoptotic molecules after activation of corticosteroid receptors decide neuronal fate. Glucocorticoid receptor(GR) activation induces apoptosis of granule cells in the hippocampus. In contrast, neuroprotection is seen after mineralocorticoid receptor(MR) activation. To date there is no in vivo evidence for direct interactions between corticosteroids and any of the key regulatory molecules of programmed cell death.

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

Les stratégies antiapoptotiques sont, bien entendu, au cœur de l'activité des grosses entreprises pharmaceutiques, car la rentabilité d'une nouvelle molécule de ce type, potentiellement applicable à toutes les maladies neurodégénératives et traumatiques (accident vasculaire, lésion spinale...), ne fait guère de doute.

a connective tissue cell containing cytoplasmic granules that stain intensely with aniline dyes.

CONT

The other type, the granule cell, sends out in opposite directions two long vertical dendrites that are covered with tiny cytoplasmic spines.

  • Morphologie et physiologie générale
CONT

Les deux autres types de neurones ont l'ensemble de leurs prolongements confinés à l'intérieur du bulbe: on les appelle des interneurones. On distingue, d'une part la cellule périglomérulaire, à axone court et dont le petit panache dendritique se ramifie dans un glomérule et d'autre part la cellule granulaire, dont les deux longues dendrites verticales et opposées sont hérissées de minuscules "épines" cytoplasmiques.
