“Pharmacological modulation of glial glutamate uptake: manipulating the cross-talks between neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity to treat neurological disorders“

In the context of degenerative or lesional diseases of the nervous system, we study the influence of inflammatory processes on the excitatory communication between neurons. Our research programs aim at developing new therapeutic approaches that would modulate inflammation originating from glial cells and affecting glutamate transmission.
