S100 is a multigenic family of non-ubiquitous Ca2+-modulated proteins of the EF-hand type
expressed in vertebrates exclusively and implicated in intracellular and extracellular …

S100B is a calcium‐binding peptide produced mainly by astrocytes that exert paracrine and
autocrine effects on neurons and glia. Some knowledge has been acquired from in vitro and …

Amphoterin is a protein enhancing process extension and migration in embryonic neurons
and in tumor cells through binding to receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) …

Glia play active and vital roles in the CNS, including regulation of brain development,
maintenance of cellular homeostasis and reparative responses to acute and chronic …

The S100B astroglial protein is widely used as a parameter of glial activation and/or death in
several conditions of brain injury. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum S100B variations have …

In recent years there has been a proliferation of interest in the brain‐specific protein S100B,
its many physiologic roles, and its behaviour in various neuropathologic conditions. Since …

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), chronically activated glia contribute to neuronal dysfunction
through production of neuroinflammatory molecules like interleukin (IL)-1β. As a first step to …

Evidence of injury-induced neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus suggests that an
endogenous repair mechanism exists for cognitive dysfunction following traumatic brain …

We provide a critical analysis of the relevance of S100B in acute brain injury emphazising
the beneficial effect of its biological properties. S100B is a calcium-binding protein, primarily …

Alterations in the capability of CF lung macrophage to respond and clear airway pathogens
might contribute to the development of lung disease in cystic fibrosis. Several S100 Ca2+ …
