© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Two key proteins for cellular communication between astrocytes and neurons are αvβ3 integrin and the receptor Thy-1. Binding of these molecules in the same (cis) or on adjacent (trans) cellular membranes ...

The interaction between Cu2+ ions and GSH molecules leads to the swift formation of the physiologically occurring Cu(I)-[GSH](2) complex. Recently, we reported that this complex is able to reduce molecular oxygen into ...

Thy-1 and αvβ3 integrin mediate bidirectional cell-to-cell communication between neurons and astrocytes. Thy-1/αvβ3 interactions stimulate astrocyte migration and the retraction of neuronal prolongations, both processes ...
