CD137L Inhibition Ameliorates Hippocampal Neuroinflammation and Behavioral Deficits in a Mouse Model of Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy

Background Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by uncontrolled infection in the host, and is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care units. It is reported that there are approximately 189 adult sepsis hospitalization cases per 100,000 person-years, with a mortality rate of 26.7%. Sepsis-...

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 ...

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...

Repetitive Administration of Low-Dose Lipopolysaccharide Improves Repeated Social Defeat Stress-Induced Behavioral Abnormalities and Aberrant Immune Response

Repeated Low-Dose Lipopolysaccharide Pretreatment Improves Behavioral Abnormalities and Aberrant Immune Responses Induced by Repeated Social Defeat Stress Background Stress significantly impacts human health, with chronic stress particularly inducing various physiological and psychological disorders. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is...

The Sirtuin 5 Inhibitor MC3482 Ameliorates Microglia-Induced Neuroinflammation Following Ischaemic Stroke by Upregulating the Succinylation Level of Annexin-A1

The Sirtuin 5 Inhibitor MC3482 Ameliorates Microglia-Induced Neuroinflammation following Ischaemic Stroke by Upregulating the Succinylation Level of Annexin-A1 Background Ischaemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Its pathogenesis is complex, involving processes such as oxidative stress...

This article was completed by scholars Alexander P. Young and Ei...

GPR34 Senses Demyelination to Promote Neuroinflammation and Pathologies

Background Introduction Sterile neuroinflammation is an important factor driving various neurological diseases. Myelin debris, released during the demyelination process in various neurological diseases (such as stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases), can act as an inf...

Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency Impairs Microglial Activation in Response to LPS-Induced Inflammation

Important Research Interpretation from “Journal of Neuroinflammation” 2024: The Impact of Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency on Microglial Activation Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Aging is the primary...

Deletion of myeloid HDAC3 promotes efferocytosis to ameliorate retinal ischemic injury

The Role of HDAC3 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Background Retinal ischemia-induced retinal diseases are significant characteristics of common visual impairments such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusion. The therapeutic effects for these ischemic retinal diseases are generally ineffective, and the des...

Microglia Undergo Sex-Dimorphic Transcriptional and Metabolic Rewiring During Aging

The Role of Microglia in Neuroinflammation: Metabolic and Gender Differences in Aging Research Background Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease. Even healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function. Previous research has indicated that microglia undergo s...
