Introduction In recent years, oligonucleotide-based therapeutic technologies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), have been widely applied in the treatment of various neurological disorders. The basis for their application is that these technologies can selectively regulate target RNA molecules, which are ...

“Revisiting Distinct Nerve Excitability Patterns in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis” Academic Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of central and peripheral motor neurons. Although the disease is clinically and genetically heterogeneous, axonal hy...

Research on the Association between Neural Networks and Functional Outcomes in Radiotherapy Patients with Pharyngeal Cancer 1. Paper Background Introduction The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-mediated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has significantly increased over the past 40 years, especially among younger populations with ...

Piplartine Attenuates Aminoglycoside-Induced TRPV1 Activity and Protects from Hearing Loss in Mice Academic Background Hearing loss is a serious global health problem affecting over 400 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Aminoglycoside antibiotics, while widely used in medicine due to their broad-spectrum antibact...

CRISPR-Cas-Based Epigenome Editing in Alzheimer’s Disease: Engineered Exosomes with a Photoinducible Protein Delivery System Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive decline in cognitive function and memory, with currently limited treatment options. Genome editing technologies, such as ...

Reactivation of Insulin Receptors Can Restore Brain Function in Early Lepr-Deficient Mice Background Obesity is a chronic disease caused by excessive fat accumulation, affecting both body and brain health. Deficiency of the insulin receptor (Leptin receptor, Lepr) is considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of obesity. Insulin plays a cru...

Aging-induced trnaGlu-derived fragments disrupt glutamate biosynthesis by targeting mitochondrial translation-dependent cristae organization Academic Background Mitochondrial cristae are inward protrusions of the inner mitochondrial membrane that undergo significant morphological changes during aging. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to th...

Imaging Study of Brain Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Background In modern mitochondrial medicine, evaluating the spectrum of brain diseases has been a limiting challenge. This limitation hinders our ability to understand the mechanisms behind the imaging phenotypes of the brains of mitochondrial disease patie...

Accumulation of Lipid Droplets in Microglia is Regulated by Neuronal AMPK Background and Research Question Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common type of dementia characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and β-amyloid plaques. However, beyond these classical pathologies, changes in lipid metabolism are increasingly recognized as closely associated wi...

Study Report on White Matter Microstructure Changes in Adult-Onset Idiopathic Focal Cervical Dystonia Patients Scientists are dedicated to studying Adult-Onset Idiopathic Focal Cervical Dystonia (AOIFCD), the most common type of idiopathic dystonia in adults. This condition primarily manifests as abnormal neck muscle postures, often accompanied by ...
