dimethyl sulfoxide and Astrocytoma

dimethyl sulfoxide has been researched along with Astrocytoma in 2 studies

Dimethyl Sulfoxide: A highly polar organic liquid, that is used widely as a chemical solvent. Because of its ability to penetrate biological membranes, it is used as a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals. It is also used to protect tissue during CRYOPRESERVATION. Dimethyl sulfoxide shows a range of pharmacological activity including analgesia and anti-inflammation.
dimethyl sulfoxide : A 2-carbon sulfoxide in which the sulfur atom has two methyl substituents.

Astrocytoma: Neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord derived from glial cells which vary from histologically benign forms to highly anaplastic and malignant tumors. Fibrillary astrocytomas are the most common type and may be classified in order of increasing malignancy (grades I through IV). In the first two decades of life, astrocytomas tend to originate in the cerebellar hemispheres; in adults, they most frequently arise in the cerebrum and frequently undergo malignant transformation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We have tested the interaction between amyloid beta protein (A beta P) and tachykinin receptors in cultured UC-11MG astrocytoma cells, which express high affinity substance P receptors and respond to substance P with an unusually large stimulation of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis."3.68Amyloid beta protein does not interact with tachykinin receptors coupled to inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in human astrocytoma cells.
