Micrograph showing gliosis in the cerebellum. Reactive astrocytes on the left display severe proliferation and domain overlap. Reactive astrogliosis is the most common form of gliosis and involves the proliferation of astrocytes, a type of glial cell responsible for maintaining extracellular ion and neurotransmitter concentrations, modulating synapse function, and forming the blood–brain ...
A glial scar formation is a reactive cellular process involving astrogliosis that occurs after injury to the central nervous system.As with scarring in other organs and tissues, the glial scar is the body's mechanism to protect and begin the healing process in the nervous system.
Brain healing is the process that occurs after the brain has been damaged. If an individual survives brain damage, the brain has a remarkable ability to adapt. When cells in the brain are damaged and die, for instance by stroke, there will be no repair or scar formation for those cells.
Although glial cells and neurons were probably first observed at the same time in the early 19th century, unlike neurons whose morphological and physiological properties were directly observable for the first investigators of the nervous system, glial cells had been considered to be merely "glue" that held neurons together until the mid-20th ...
Rosenthal fibers. H&E staining showing these elongated eosinophilic structures in a case of pilocytic astrocytoma.Magnification 400x. A Rosenthal fiber is a thick, elongated, worm-like or "corkscrew" eosinophilic (pink) bundle that is found on staining of brain tissue in the presence of long-standing gliosis, occasional tumors, and some metabolic disorders.
VNU-ULIS was the first institution in Vietnam to offer degrees in Japanese Language Teacher Education. VNU-ULIS is the only institution in Vietnam to have a bachelor program in German language teacher education. [4] The joint ULIS-Southern New Hampshire University (USA) English program constitutes the institution's intensive English studies ...
It was established in 1997 as an English-language training center, but became licensed to offer vocational college degrees in 2006. In 2012, VACT changed its name to American Polytechnic College - APC. American Polytechnic College - APC uses the work-based - learning method to help students get on well with the real working environment in the ...
Spinal cord injury research seeks new ways to cure or treat spinal cord injury in order to lessen the debilitating effects of the injury in the short or long term. There is no cure for SCI, and current treatments are mostly focused on spinal cord injury rehabilitation and management of the secondary effects of the condition. [1]
