...well-known for its role in cell growth and division, but this is the first study implicating it in excitotoxic pathways...
...press release, Allessandro Alessandrini, assistant biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a co-author of the study, says, "The exciting thing about this is not only that it deciphers an initial stage in the pathway of stroke, but also suggests that a pathway thought to be involved in cell proliferation may lead to damage early on in ischemia...
They found that, on average, the region of cell death in mice receiving the ERK-blocking drug was 55 percent smaller than that of mice not given the drug. Alessandrini noted that in his study, the ERK-blocking drug was administered to the mice before or at the beginning of a stroke, a situation that may not be practical in humans. However, researchers believe that the findings do give hope for discovering other possible ways of stopping a stroke after it has begun...
...five-million-dollar grant for the next five years from the Florence DeGeorge Islet Research Challenge has made possible the establishment of the new JDF Center for Islet Cell Transplantation...
According to Center officials, the project's strategy is fourfold, focusing on islet transplantation, tolerance induction, autoimmunity and expansion of islet cell supply...
