摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel communication mechanism between astrocytes and neurons at a synapse. More specifically, the present invention relates to a signaling mechanism between astrocytes and neurons, by activating astrocytic G-protein coupled receptors, thereby activating glutamate receptors on a membrane of neighboring postsynaptic neurons, resulting in increasing the level of intracellular Ca2+ and inducing a depolarization inward current to control neurotransmission in neurons.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a degenerative brain disease, and a method of screening a material for preventing or treating a degenerative brain disease. The method may effectively screen a prophylactic or therapeutic candidate material for preventing or treating a degenerative brain disease. A variety of degenerative brain diseases may be effectively prevented or treated using the pharmaceutical composition including a screened material for preventing or treating a degenerative brain disease.
