An in vitro paradigm for diabetic cerebral oedema and its therapy: a critical role for taurine and water channels.

abstract：:Microdissection of selected regions of central nervous system (CNS) has provided the basis of modern chemoarchitectonics. Laser microdissection is a modern variant of the "Palkovits punch" technique and used together with gene array analysis has revolutionalized CNS molecular analysis.
