Abstract
In brain ischemia, gating of postsynaptic glutamate receptors is thought to initiate Ca2+ overload leading to excitotoxic neuronal death. In this issue, Aarts and colleagues describe a novel mechanism, whereby gating of TRPM7, a Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel, mediates Ca2+ overload and demise of anoxic neurons.Entities:
