Integrins and Nitric Oxide in the Regulation of Glial Cells: Potential Roles in Pathological Pain

Abstract: Glial cells form physical connections with neurons and vascular endothelial cells in the brain, thereby constructing the elaborate networks of the tripartite synapse and the neurovascular unit, respectively. In addition to supporting neurons, glial cells modify synaptic plasticity and vascular tone, and in this way play an important role in maintaining brain homeostasis. Upon activation, glial cells produce nitric oxide, a gaseous mediator that diffuses into neighboring cells, wherein it elicits signaling path… Show more
