Neurite outgrowth was observed for the neuronal networks formed in primary neuronal cultures from dorsal root ganglia. Their activity was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy technique in order to evidence the level of calcium ions (calcium imaging) in cytosol of the neurons. Cells were loaded with calcium fluorescent dye Calcium Green-I. Using this technique; we have evidenced the spontaneous oscillations of the cytosolic calcium concentration in

Despite the increased prevalence of peripheral diabetic neuropathy, some of its mechanisms are still unknown. In our study, we have used a double transgenic mice (dTg) model, TCR-HA+/–/RIP-HA+/–, which develops a fulminate type of insulino-dependent diabetes. The goal of our study was to reveal the molecular mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy in neuronal primary cultures. The presence of the transgenes, that are responsible for the etiophatogenesis

The objective of this investigation was to identify the overall pollen types and, more particularly, the allergenic pollen content in the investigated area and then to explore their seasonal variations. The measurement point was located in the Timisoara city, Romania. A Lanzoni volumetric trap was used for sample collection. Duration of the pollen season of allergenic plants and respective variation in airborne pollen concentration are presented
