In this investigation contrast threshold measurements are compared with supra-threshold perception for a group of human amblyopes. The results indicate that human amblyopia involves, in some cases, no...
Calcium activated neutral proteinase (mcalpain) activity was determined in brain and other tissue of rat. More than 60% of the brain mcalpain activity was present in the particulate fraction while onl...
The remarkable migratory and tumor-tropic capacities of neural stem cells (NSCs and/or neuroprogenitor cells) represent a potentially powerful approach to the treatment of invasive brain tumors, such ...

The promise of stem cell therapy is expected to greatly benefit the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. An underlying biological reason for the progressive functional losses associated with these...
After unilateral ablation of the avian cranial neural folds, the remaining neuroepithelial cells are able to replace the missing neural crest population (Scherson et al., 1993). Here, we characterize ...
Mapping of the avian neural primordium was carried out at the early somitic stages by substituting definite regions of the chick embryo by their quail counterpart. The quail nuclear marker made it pos...
