Now that I’ve covered the basics of authentication, authorization, and federation, it’s time to dive in and start using CardSpace. In this chapter, you’ll take a tour of CardSpace and become familiar with it from a user perspective.

Although stem cell therapy has been proposed for therapeutic strategies aimed at repairing functions, it is important to realize that as yet, relatively little is known about the behavior of embryonic and adult stem cells in terms of responsiveness to extracellular cues and intracellular signaling molecules.

The challenge that awaits ahead is to define possible differences in intracellular signaling molecules between embryonic and adult derived neural stem cells that may underlie the distinctive responsiveness of these different cell types to external signals. A better understanding of the mechanisms regulating proliferation and differentiation of multipotent progenitors into differentiated neurons, astrocyte and oligodendrocytes is, therefore, essential for developing a realistic frame of therapeutic intervention while preventing undesirable - and yet possible-neoplastic transformation of adult neural stem cells.

Neurodegenerative disorders can take many forms, from discrete neurological insults to diffuse degenerative conditions; from those associated with developmental disorders to those associated with ischemic injury or aging. Just as there is a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders, there are a variety of responses of the SVZ to these disorders. These responses include, in general, increased cellular proliferation, changes in the overall morphology of the SVZ, changes in the differentiation or production of certain cell types, altered migration of SVZ-derived cells, and changes in gene expression.

It is not sufficient to view or characterize the SVZ as merely s to an injury or a degenerative condition. As the SVZ is a developmental source that continues to proliferate in the adult CNS, there is a dynamic interplay between the role of the SVZ in development and its response to neurodegenerative conditions. To take such an argument further, it has been suggested that events in the SVZ itself may be the cause of disease—via either lack of appropriate SVZ cell generation in the adult, or via the unchecked proliferation and differentiation of immature cells seen in some forms of cancer.

It is clear that there is much more work that needs to be done on understanding the response of the SVZ to neurodegenerative disorders. This increase in understanding must come not only from further cellular pathological studies of disease, but from continued, rigorous analyses of the development of the SVZ, its cellular architecture, and the molecular controls underlying its behavior in both normal and pathological conditions. Such elucidation of normal and pathological responses of the SVZ, and of controls over precursors/’stem cells’ resident in the SVZ, may allow for directed differentiation and manipulation of SVZ-derived cells toward functional repair of the CNS.

The differential effects of ethanol on the proliferative zones support the thesis that both neocortical proliferative zones generate neurons. Proliferative activity in the VZ is depressed by ethanol regardless of the location along the neuraxis and regardless of the ethanol concentration. In contrast, proliferation within derived zones (at least the SZ and IHZ) is bimodally affected by ethanol in a concentration-dependent manner. Indeed, the unique responses of the VZ and SZ may reflect an interaction between the two zones. For example, the increased proliferative activity in the SZ or IHZ at low concentrations results from a recruitment of new cells into the cycling population (increased GF). This may be an compensatory response to offset the depressed proliferation of VZ cells. After all, the derived zones are seeded by the VZ.
