Serum LDL Promotes Microglial Activation and Exacerbates Demyelinating Injury in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

Study on Serum LDL Promoting Microglial Activation and Exacerbating Demyelination in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), often accompanied by disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Dysfunction of lipid met...

The Roles of RhoA/ROCK/NF-κB Pathway in Microglia Polarization Following Ischemic Stroke

Overview of the Role of RhoA/ROCK/NF-κB Pathway in Microglial Polarization after Ischemic Stroke In recent years, ischemic stroke has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. However, effective treatments for ischemic stroke are still lacking. Studies have shown that microglia, as resident macrophages in the central nervo...
