An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

Predictive Autoantibody Signature for Multiple Sclerosis Academic Background and Research Significance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies have mostly suggested that T cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS. Howe...

Intrathecal Bivalent CAR T Cells Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Phase 1 Trial Interim Results

Intrathecal Bivalent CAR T Cells Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Phase 1 Trial Interim Results

The Effectiveness of Bivalent CAR T-Cell Therapy Targeting EGFR and IL13Rα2 in Treating Recurrent Glioblastoma In recent years, the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (RGBM) has been continually explored and improved, yet overall survival rates remain less than one year, presenting a significant challenge. The limitations of existing treatments an...

Information-Based TMS to Mid-Lateral Prefrontal Cortex Disrupts Action Goals During Emotional Processing

Abstract In recent years, researchers have gradually recognized that contextual awareness and goal-directed responses to emotional events are crucial for adaptive functioning. Behavioral and emotional regulation models posit that the lateral prefrontal cortex (lpfc) maintains goal-related representations, thereby facilitating cognitive control. How...

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analysis Reveal Association between NOMO1 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord gradually degrade. Although the genetic susceptibility of sporadic ALS patients remains uncertain, TDP-4...

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Primarily Impair the Extrasynaptic Compartment

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Mainly Damage Extrasynaptic Components Background Information In recent years, neuroimmunology research has revealed various neurological and psychiatric diseases associated with autoantibodies. In these disorders, autoantibodies target various molecules, including receptor membrane proteins, causing abnormal neural sys...

Distinct Ultrastructural Phenotypes of Glial and Neuronal Alpha-Synuclein Inclusions in Multiple System Atrophy

Different Ultrastructural Phenotypes of α-Synuclein Inclusions in Glia and Neurons in Brain Regions of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) in specific brain regions, forming pathological inclusions that primarily ...

Connectome Reorganization Associated with Temporal Lobe Pathology and Its Surgical Resection

Connectomics Reconstruction Associated with Temporal Lobe Lesions and Their Surgical Resection Academic Background The human brain’s structural organization is increasingly conceptualized and analyzed from a network perspective, greatly enhancing understanding of health and disease. In recent years, thanks to advances in neuroimaging technology and...

KATP Channel Mutation Disrupts Hippocampal Network Activity and Nocturnal Gamma Shifts

KATP Channel Mutation Disrupts Hippocampal Network Activity and Nocturnal Gamma Wave Changes Research Background ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are crucial ion channels that link cellular metabolism with electrical activity. Studies have shown that high activity of KATP channels is closely related to a rare disease—Developmental delay, Epi...

Single-Value Brain Activity Scores Reflect Both Severity and Risk Across the Alzheimer’s Continuum

Report on the Association Between Single Value Brain Activity Scores and the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Among the elderly population, cognitive decline and brain structural changes are widespread, even among healthy individuals1-3. Episodic memory, crucial for storing, maintaining, and retrieving single-event memories4, is espe...

Low-Intensity Ultrasound Ameliorates Brain Organoid Integration and Rescues Microcephaly Deficits

Low-intensity Ultrasound Promotes Brain Organoid Integration and Improves Microcephaly Defects Background of the Study Brain organoids are generated through the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and exhibit impressive cellular diversity, capable of mimicking functional networks similar to the human brain. These organoid methods hold ...
