Abstract excerpt
In the present study we tested the hypothesis that the cyclophilin D-dependent (CyD) mitochondrial permeability transition (CyD-mPT) plays an important role in glutamate-triggered delayed calcium deregulation (DCD) and excitotoxic neuronal death. We used cultured cortical neurons from wild-type C57BL/6 and cyclophilin D-knockout mice (Ppif(-/-)). Induction of the mPT was identified by following the rapid...
