Long-term accumulation of T cytotoxic 1, T cytotoxic 17, and T cytotoxic 17/1 cells in the brain contributes to microglia-mediated chronic neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke

Long-term Effects of CD8+ T Cell Subsets in Neuroinflammation After Ischemic Stroke Background Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. After stroke, neuroinflammation is rapidly induced, activating various cells such as mast cells, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular endothelial cells. These reactive cells then express various i...

circPTP4A2 Promotes Microglia Polarization in Cerebral Ischemic Stroke via miR-20b-5p/YTHDF1/TIMP2 Axis

Academic Report on the Scientific Paper “circPTP4A2 Promotes Microglial Polarization in Ischemic Stroke via the miR-20b-5p/YTHDF1/TIMP2 Axis” Background Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is brain tissue necrosis caused by cerebral blood flow obstruction and is the second leading cause of disability and death globally. Current clinical treatment str...

Inflammasome Activation Mediates Apoptotic and Pyroptotic Death in Astrocytes under Ischemic Conditions

Inflammasome Activation Regulates Apoptosis and Pyroptosis in Astrocytes under Ischemic Conditions Introduction Ischemic stroke is one of the main mechanisms leading to brain damage, characterized by hypoxia and energy deprivation in local brain regions due to interrupted blood flow. In recent years, research has found that inflammatory responses p...

Delayed Plasma Kallikrein Inhibition Fosters Post-Stroke Recovery by Reducing Thrombo-Inflammation

Delayed Inhibition of Plasma Kallikrein Promotes Stroke Recovery: By Reducing Thromboinflammation Academic Background Stroke is a common neurovascular event affecting over 60 million patients worldwide annually. Current treatments for cerebral ischemia are limited to thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, which are constrained by the feasibility...

Functional Connectivity Alterations in Patients with Post-Stroke Epilepsy Based on Source-Level EEG and Graph Theory

Research Report on Changes in Functional Connectivity in Post-Stroke Epilepsy (PSE) Patients Based on Source-Level EEG and Graph Theory Research Background Epilepsy has various etiologies, including idiopathic, congenital, head trauma, central nervous system infections, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. Among t...

Leptomeningeal Collaterals Regulate Reperfusion in Ischemic Stroke and Rescue the Brain from Futile Recanalization

Leptomeningeal Collaterals Regulate Reperfusion in Ischemic Stroke and Rescue the Brain from Futile Recanalization

Leptomeningeal Glial Modulation of Ischemic Stroke Reperfusion to Avoid Futile Recanalization Background Ischemic Stroke is caused by the sudden blockage of cerebral arteries, leading to millions of disabilities and deaths globally each year. The current treatment for ischemic stroke primarily involves intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombe...
