Excessive activation of NMDA glutamate receptors contributes to neuronal death after stroke. In this issue, Tu et al. (2010) demonstrate that ischemic injury promotes the association of death-associated protein kinase 1 with the NMDA receptor, thereby potentiating its activity, and show that disrupting this association reduces damage to the brain.
过度激活 NMDA 谷氨酸受体是中风后神经元死亡的原因之一。在本期杂志中,Tu 等人(2010)表明,缺血性损伤促进了死亡相关蛋白激酶 1 与 NMDA 受体的结合,从而增强了其活性,并表明破坏这种结合可以减少对大脑的损伤。
