Role of Inflammation in a Rat Model of Radiation Retinopathy

Radiation Retinopathy Research Report Radiation Retinopathy (RR) is a common side effect following radiation therapy (such as brachytherapy or proton beam therapy) in ophthalmic tumor treatments. RR presents as delayed and progressive microvascular alterations, ischemia, and macular edema, which may ultimately lead to vision loss, neovascular glauc...

Astrocytic Stress Response Induced by Exposure to Astrocyte-Binding Antibodies in Pediatric Acute Transverse Myelitis Cases

B-cell Response in Pediatric Acute Transverse Myelitis Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory disease of the spinal cord with an incidence of 1.7-2 cases per million children per year. ATM typically presents with limb weakness, sensory loss, and bladder/bowel dysfunction, with symptoms rapidly developing over hours t...

Study on the Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury on Chronic Meningeal CLIP+ B Cells, Neuropathology, and Neurobehavioral Impairment in 5xFAD Mice

Research Report: Long-Term Effects of Class II Invariant Peptide (CLIP) Antagonism on CLIP+ B Cells in the Meninges, Neuropathology, and Neurobehavioral Deficits in 5xFAD Mice Research Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem affecting millions of individuals worldwide each year.

Intermittent Hypoxia Exacerbates Anxiety in High-fat Diet-Induced Diabetic Mice by Inhibiting TREM2-Regulated IFNAR1 Signaling

Over the past few decades, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been on the rise, becoming a global public health issue. T2DM not only affects patients’ metabolic levels but also has profound impacts on cognitive function and mental health. Studies have shown that patients with T2DM exhibit brain structural abnormalities, a decline ...

Microglial PDCD4 Deficiency Mitigates Neuroinflammation-Associated Depression via Facilitating Daxx Mediated PPARγ/IL-10 Signaling

Deletion of Microglia PDCD4 Alleviates Neuroinflammation-Associated Depression by Promoting DAXX-Mediated PPARγ/IL-10 Signaling Background In recent years, neuroinflammatory processes have been demonstrated to be associated with various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. A common feature of these diseases is th...
