Mechanisms of Deafness and Pathological Changes in Peripheral Auditory Nervous System in Cx26 Null Mice

Scientific Report: Study on the Mechanism of Deafness in Cx26-Deficient Mice Introduction Mutations in the Gjb2 gene are the most common cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hereditary deafness, accounting for about 50% of all cases. The Cx26 protein encoded by the Gjb2 gene is mainly expressed in cochlear epithelial supporting cells and is r...

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.

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 ...
