There is substantial evidence implicating excitotoxicity and oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD). We therefore examined whether the antioxidants 2-sulpho-tert-phenyibutyinitrone (S-PBN) and alpha-lipoic acid could exert neuroprotective effects in transgenic mouse models of HD. S-PBN showed no

In previous studies, the authors showed that the nitrone radical scavenger alpha-phenyl-N- tert -butyl nitrone (PBN) and its sulfo-derivative, 2-sulfo-phenyl-N- tert -butyl nitrone (S-PBN), attenuated cognitive disturbance and reduced tissue damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats. In the

Following intraorbital transection of the optic nerve (ON) in rats, more than 80% of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) population die by apoptosis within 14 days. Repeated intraocular injection of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been efficient in enhancing RGC
Exposure to blast overpressure has become one of the hazards of both military and civilian life in many parts of the world due to war and terrorist activity. Auditory damage is one of the primary sequela of blast trauma, affecting

Infiltration of T lymphocytes is a key feature in transplant rejection and in several autoimmune disorders, but the role of T lymphocytes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is largely unknown. Here we studied trafficking of immune cells in the brain
