Background Introduction In acute systemic inflammatory conditions, the immune system undergoes significant changes, typically characterized by increased myeloid cell generation and suppressed lymphocyte production. In the thymus specifically, systemic inflammation leads to acute thymic atrophy and subsequent impairment of T lymphocyte generation. H...
Targeting STING in Dendritic Cells Alleviates Psoriatic Inflammation Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease primarily caused by abnormal activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, ultimately leading to increased cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17A. The cGAS-STING pathway is known to play a key role in psoriatic i...
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Cortical Activity - Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Evaluation Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a device that induces currents within the cerebral cortex through the generation of a magnetic fiel...
Morphology-Specific Calcium Signaling Characteristics in Human Microglia Background and Research Objectives Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), involved in almost all physiological and pathological processes, including development, synaptic transmission, neuroplasticity, sleep, trauma, glioblastoma, and neuro...
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...
Journal of Neuroinflammation Research Report: Neuroprotective Effects of Prevotella copri Transplantation in a Traumatic Brain Injury Mouse Model Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 50 million people globally each year and is considered a significant public health challenge. Secondary injuries associated with TBI are largely relate...
The Role of Cystatin F in Regulating Neuroinflammation and Demyelination in Spinal Cord Poliovirus Infection Background Knowledge Cystatin F is a secreted lysosomal cysteine protease inhibitor associated with every stage of virus-related neurological diseases, including host defense, demyelination, and myelination. However, research on how Cystatin...
Changes in Gene Expression and Protein Insolubility in Alzheimer’s Disease Progression Background Introduction As the most common type of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is well-known for its two main neuropathological features: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Amyloid plaques consist of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide segments generat...
Detection of Seeding Activity of Human Superoxide Dismutase 1 Aggregates in Postmortem Neural Tissues of Familial and Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients Background Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease with an average survival time of 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. Major symp...
Stage-Dependent Immune Responses Mediated by AQP4 Antibodies in NMOSD Pathology in the Central Nervous System Academic Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by the production of specific antibodies against the water channel protein Aquaporin-4 (AQP4). Al...
