International Conference on Neuroprotective Agents
NCTR scientists presented their preclinical research results at the 12th International Conference on Neuroprotective Agents held September 28-October 1, 2014, in Charlottesville, VA.  The topics of presentations involved issues ranging from penetration of the blood-brain barrier by therapeutics to the reversible/irreversible effects of anesthetics on neural cells.  The specific topics for the presentations were:
  • Mediation of tight junctions in the blood-brain barrier by A25-35-RAGE
  • Neuroprotective role of the TRPC6 receptor in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
  • Protective effects of N-acetylcysteine against nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity in an in vitro blood-brain barrier model
  • Mobilization of neural stem cells after developmental estrogen treatment
  • Potential use of leukemia drugs for neuroprotection in Parkinson’s disease
  • Effects of silver nanoparticles on human and rat embryonic neural stem cells
  • Long-lasting cognitive deficits in nonhuman primates after general anesthesia administered during the first week post-partum
  • Neuroprotective effects of acetyl-L-carnitine in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
  • Use of small-animal PET to monitor sevoflurane-induced neuronal injury in neonatal nonhuman primates
  • Effects of propofol on neural stem cells in culture.
