Hyperglycemia Enhances Brain Susceptibility to Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Neuroinflammation via Astrocyte Reprogramming Academic Background Introduction Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease affecting millions of people worldwide, characterized by hyperglycemia, or elevated blood glucose levels. For a long time, research has primarily focused on ...
B-cell Response in Pediatric Acute Transverse Myelitis Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory disease of the spinal cord with an incidence of 1.7-2 cases per million children per year. ATM typically presents with limb weakness, sensory loss, and bladder/bowel dysfunction, with symptoms rapidly developing over hours t...
Research Report: Long-Term Effects of Class II Invariant Peptide (CLIP) Antagonism on CLIP+ B Cells in the Meninges, Neuropathology, and Neurobehavioral Deficits in 5xFAD Mice Research Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem affecting millions of individuals worldwide each year. More importantly, TBI is a sign...
Over the past few decades, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been on the rise, becoming a global public health issue. T2DM not only affects patients’ metabolic levels but also has profound impacts on cognitive function and mental health. Studies have shown that patients with T2DM exhibit brain structural abnormalities, a decline ...
Deletion of Microglia PDCD4 Alleviates Neuroinflammation-Associated Depression by Promoting DAXX-Mediated PPARγ/IL-10 Signaling Background In recent years, neuroinflammatory processes have been demonstrated to be associated with various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. A common feature of these diseases is th...
Single-cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Evolution of Immune Landscape in Perihematomal Edema Post Hemorrhagic Stroke Research Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the global health threats, renowned for its high disability and mortality rates. Among the secondary brain injuries caused by ICH, the formation of perihematomal edema (PHE) is ...
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...
Review of Research on the Treatment Potential for Cognitive Deficits in Traumatic Brain Injury Research Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In Europe, the annual incidence of TBI is at least 4 million cases, imposing a heavy burden on patients, society, and health systems, yet the available ...
Study on the Differential Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Strength Gains and Precise Force Control Research Background Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, an emerging method for enhancing muscle strength, has garnered attention from researchers and clinical medicine in recent years. BFR training with low-load resistance exercise en...
Neonatal Respiratory Infections Lead to Brainstem Neuroinflammation Introduction Respiratory infections are one of the most common diseases and causes of morbidity among newborns.
