Doxycycline-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles with a pectin coat can ameliorate lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation via enhancing AMPK

Protective Effect of Doxycycline-Loaded Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles on LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation in Mice In the field of neuroscience research, neuroinflammation is an important pathological feature of many neurological diseases. Neuroinflammation is a complex response of the central nervous system (CNS) to various damaging triggers (such a...

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...

The impact of high-fat diet on microglial cells and its effects on brain function

Research on Saturated Fatty Acids and Brain Function Background Introduction Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major global health challenges today. Numerous studies have shown that excessive consumption of diets rich in saturated fats leads to obesity, accompanied by a series of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance and diabetes. How...

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...

The Molecular Regulation of Astroglia-Driven Neuroinflammation in Experimental Glaucoma

Research Background Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness, characterized by complex neurodegenerative conditions that include extensive inflammatory responses in glial cells, accompanied by the progressive loss of Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs), optic nerve axons, and synaptic connections. Although there are variations in subtypes, topologies, and ...

Sex-dependent effects of carbohydrate source and quantity on caspase-1 activity in the mouse central nervous system

The Gender-Dependent Effects of Carbohydrate Sources and Quantity on Caspase-1 Activity in the Central Nervous System of Mice Research Background With the global intensification of aging, the incidence of cognitive impairments and dementia is rapidly increasing, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form of senile dementia.
