Transplantation of human adult astrocytes: efficiency and safety requirements for an autologous gene therapy.

abstract：:Ionotropic glutamate receptors, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors (AMPARs), are densely distributed in the mammalian brain and actively regulate a variety of cellular activities. Expression and function of these receptors are also under a tig...
