Altered Cortical Information Interaction During Respiratory Events in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

Changes in Cerebral Cortical Information Interaction During Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome in Children Background Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) in children is a common sleep-disordered breathing condition characterized by repetitive partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, often ...

Dentate Gyrus Morphogenesis is Regulated by an Autism Risk Gene Trio Function in Granule Cells

Research Background and Objectives Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a group of highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorders, primarily characterized by abnormal social interactions, communication deficits, and restricted repetitive behaviors or interests. Previous studies have reported structural changes in brain regions including the hippocam...

Inhibition of YIPF2 Improves the Vulnerability of Oligodendrocytes to Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide

Study on YIPF2 Inhibitors Improving Oligodendrocyte Susceptibility to Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide With the dramatic increase in global diabetes prevalence, the harm of diabetes complications is becoming increasingly prominent. Among them, Diabetic Encephalopathy (DE), as the most common complication in type 2 diabetes, severely affects patients...

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Ameliorates Preeclampsia-Induced Apoptosis of Placental Trophoblastic Cells via Inhibiting the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Alleviates Preeclampsia-Induced Placental Trophoblast Apoptosis by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response Research Background Preeclampsia is a severe obstetric complication affecting 2%-8% of pregnancies worldwide. This disease not only impacts the health of pregnant women but also serio...

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 Alleviated Sevoflurane-Induced Developmental Neurotoxicity via Microglial Pruning of Dendritic Spines in the CA1 Region of the Hippocampus

TREM2 Expression on Mouse Astrocytes Prevents Sevoflurane-Induced Developmental Neurotoxicity Through Microglial Pruning of Dendritic Spines in Hippocampal CA1 Region Research Background and Significance Sevoflurane is one of the most widely used anesthetics in pediatric anesthesia. Early multiple exposures to sevoflurane can lead to developmental ...

A Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutation Causes Novel Autosomal-Dominant Inheritance of a Parkinsonism/Spinocerebellar-Ataxia Complex

A Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutation Causes Novel Autosomal-Dominant Inheritance of a Parkinsonism/Spinocerebellar-Ataxia Complex

A Novel Autosomal Dominant Parkinsonism/Cerebellar Ataxia Syndrome Caused by Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutation Background Recently, a Chinese research team discovered a new pathogenic gene for a rare neurodegenerative disease that presents as a combination of Parkinson’s disease and cerebellar ataxia symptoms, which does not fit the description of...

Amorfrutin B Compromises Hypoxia/Ischemia-Induced Activation of Human Microglia in a PPARγ-Dependent Manner: Effects on Inflammation, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial Status

Research on the Effects of Amorfrutin B on Human Microglia under Hypoxia/Ischemia Conditions: Anti-inflammatory Action, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial State Based on the PPARγ Pathway Research Background Hypoxia/ischemia is a major cause of brain injury in both neonatal and adult populations. Perinatal asphyxia and ischemic stroke are l...

Novel Coumarins Derivatives for A. baumannii Lung Infection Developed by High-throughput Screening and Reinforcement Learning

Review of Research on Treatment of Lung Infections with Novel Coumarin Derivatives Background With the increasing antibiotic resistance, especially the problem of Acinetobacter baumannii’s resistance to antibiotics, researchers worldwide have begun to search for new antimicrobial agents. This Gram-negative bacterium, with its high survivability and...

β-hydroxybutyrate improves the redox status, cytokine production, and phagocytic potency of glucose-deprived HMC3 human microglia-like cells

Research Report: β-Hydroxybutyrate Improves Redox State, Cytokine Secretion, and Phagocytic Ability of Glucose-Deprived HMC3 Human Microglia Introduction Microglia are resident neuroimmune cells in the brain, accounting for 5-12% of total neuroglial cells, with strong migration, proliferation, and phagocytic abilities. For example, microglia mainta...
