Long-term accumulation of T cytotoxic 1, T cytotoxic 17, and T cytotoxic 17/1 cells in the brain contributes to microglia-mediated chronic neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke

Long-term Effects of CD8+ T Cell Subsets in Neuroinflammation After Ischemic Stroke Background Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. After stroke, neuroinflammation is rapidly induced, activating various cells such as mast cells, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular endothelial cells. These reactive cells then express various i...

Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides Improves Cognitive Functions in ICV-STZ-Induced Alzheimer’s Disease Mice Model by Improving the Synaptic Structural Plasticity and Regulating IRS1/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

Study on the Improvement of Cognitive Function in ICV-STZ-Induced Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model by Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory loss, personality changes, and emotion...

Activation of Central Nervous System Immunity: A Study on Resiquimod Mechanism

TLR7 Induces CCL2 Expression in Neurons via NF-κB Research Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one of the important mechanisms for recognizing specific molecular structures of microbes. In humans, ten TLRs (TLR1-10) are known, among which TLR3 and TLR7 are located on the endosomal membrane and play important roles in sensing virus-derived nuc...

Effect of Clemizole on Alpha-Synuclein-Preformed Fibrils-Induced Parkinson’s Disease Pathology: A Pharmacological Investigation

Effect of Clemizole on Alpha-Synuclein-Preformed Fibrils-Induced Parkinson’s Disease Pathology: A Pharmacological Investigation

Effects of Clemizole on Parkinson’s Disease Pathology Induced by α-Synuclein Fibril Formation Background Introduction Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a typical neurodegenerative disease, mainly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. However, current therapeutic approaches targeting these pathological events have not successfull...

p39 Affects Myelin Formation in Cerebral Ischemic Injury

The Role of p39 in Cerebral Ischemic Injury Background Introduction Stroke is an extremely serious public health problem, with current research mainly focusing on injury mechanisms and new target identification. p39, as an activator of CDK5 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 5), plays a crucial role in various diseases. This article mainly investigates the r...

Protein Disulfide Isomerase Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein 57 (ERP57) is Protective Against ALS-Associated Mutant TDP-43 in Neuronal Cells

Study on the Protective Effect of ERP57 on ALS-related Mutant TDP-43 in Neuronal Cells Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Almost all ALS cases (97%) and about 50% of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases show a pathological form of Tar-DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43), indica...

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...

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...
