Increased expression and function of glutamate transporters in multiple sclerosis

Recent studies have shown that glutamate excitotoxicity may be a component in the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS). Glutamate transporters determine the levels of extracellular glutamate and are essential to prevent excitotoxicity. We have analyzed here the expression of the glutamate transporter...
