Fig. 8From: Ectoderm-derived frontal bone mesenchymal stem cells promote traumatic brain injury recovery by alleviating neuroinflammation and glutamate excitotoxicity partially via FGF1Proposed mechanism. FbMSC application reduces the activation of microglia cells and astrocytes and alleviates glutamate excitotoxicity. Abbreviations: FGF1, acidic fibroblast growth factor1; FGFR, acidic fibroblast growth factor1 receptor; GLT-1, glutamate transporter-1; GLAST, glutamate-aspartate transporter; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; IL6, interleukin 6; IL-10, interleukin-10Back to article page
