Association of NID2 SNPs with Glioma Risk and Prognosis in the Chinese Population

Association of NID2 SNPs with Glioma Risk and Prognosis in the Chinese Population

Association of NID2 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms with glioma risk and prognosis in Chinese Han population Academic Background Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor, characterized by high mortality and poor prognosis. Despite some progress in diagnostic and treatment strategies, conventional therapies have limited improvement ...

FMOD Alleviates Depression-like Behaviors by Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway after Traumatic Brain Injury

Research Report on FMOD Alleviating Depressive Behavior After Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a global health issue with far-reaching impacts, causing not only brain dysfunction but also often leading to mental disorders. One of the most common mental illnesses following TBI is depression, affecting approximately 25-50% of TB...

Modulation of Viability, Proliferation, and Stemness by Rosmarinic Acid in Medulloblastoma Cells: Involvement of HDACs and EGFR

Pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Due to its unique molecular and clinical characteristics, the treatment of this type of tumor has been a focus of clinical research. Existing treatments mainly include maximal surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but these treatments often lead to long...

Optogenetic Inhibition of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Dysgranular Posterior Insular Cortex Modulates Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in CCI-Ion Rat

Optogenetic Inhibition of Insular Cortex Glutamatergic Neurons Regulates Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain Introduction and Background Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is a severe facial disorder characterized by rapid and intense stabbing pain attacks that spread along the cutaneous segments of the trigeminal nerve. TNP occurs almost twice as frequentl...

Neuroprotective Effects of Sinomenine on Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis via Anti-inflammatory and Nrf2-dependent Anti-oxidative Stress Activity

Research Background on Multiple Sclerosis and Central Nervous System Inflammation Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), often accompanied by chronic inflammation, leading to oligodendrocyte loss, activation of brain-resident immune cells, blood-brain barrier disruption, extensive demyelin...

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...

PDGFRA, KIT, and KDR Gene Amplification in Glioblastoma: Heterogeneity and Clinical Significance

Brain Glioblastoma PDGFRA, KIT and KDR Gene Amplification: Heterogeneity and Its Clinical Significance Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, with its heterogeneity posing significant challenges in treatment. GBM exhibits cellular genetic and phenotypic diversity not only between dif...

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...

A Missense Variant in AIFM1 Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Intolerance to Riboflavin Deficiency

Missense Mutation in AIFM1 Gene Leads to Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Riboflavin Deficiency Intolerance Research Background Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles found in eukaryotic cells with nuclei, primarily producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation to provide cellular energy. Mitochondria have their own gen...
