Probable Novel APP Met671Leu Mutation in a Chinese Han Family with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease

A Study Exploring a New Mutation in Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, accounting for 60-70% of all dementia cases. In recent years, with global population aging and environmental changes, the incidence of AD has been increasing annually. It is predicted that by 2050, the number of patie...

Acetylation of c-Myc at Lysine 148 Protects Neurons After Ischemia

Research Background This study explores the role of the cancer-related transcription factor c-myc in penumbra neurons following ischemic stroke. Although the role of c-myc in cell death and survival has been recognized, research on its post-translational modifications, especially acetylation, in ischemic models remains insufficient. Investigating t...

Tetramethylpyrazine Nitrone Promotes the Clearance of Alpha‑Synuclein via Nrf2‑Mediated Ubiquitin–Proteasome System Activation

Tetramethylpyrazine Nitrone Promotes α-Synuclein Clearance: NRF2-Mediated UPS Activation Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy bodies, with α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation as the main component. ...

Inhibition of p70 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (S6K1) Reduces Cortical Blood Flow in a Rat Model of Autism-Tuberous Sclerosis

Inhibition of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K1) Reduces Cerebral Cortical Blood Flow in Autism-Tuberous Sclerosis Rats: Research Report Background Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, primarily characterized by multiple benign tumors, including symptoms such as epilepsy, autism spectrum ...

The Relationship Between CYP46A1 Polymorphism and Suicide Risk: A Preliminary Investigation

Preliminary Research Report on the Relationship between CYP46A1 Polymorphism and Suicide Risk Research Background Suicide, defined as the intentional act of ending one’s own life, is a major global public health issue. The incidence of suicide is higher among individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, the role of cholesterol in suic...

Circular RNA-GRIN2B Suppresses Neuropathic Pain by Targeting the NF-κB/SLICK Pathway

Mechanism Study of Circular RNA-GRIN2B Inhibiting Neuropathic Pain Background Introduction Neuropathic pain is a persistent pain caused by damage to the somatic sensory nervous system, with its etiology not yet fully understood and clinical treatment facing many difficulties. Given the complexity of neuropathic pain, there is an urgent need to reve...

Drug Treatment Attenuates Retinal Ganglion Cell Death by Inhibiting Collapsin Response Mediator Protein 2 Phosphorylation in Mouse Models of Normal Tension Glaucoma

Scientific Research Report: Drug Treatment Alleviates Retinal Ganglion Cell Death in Normal Tension Glaucoma Mouse Model by Inhibiting Collapsin Response Mediator Protein 2 Phosphorylation Background Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in the glaucoma family. Typically, glaucoma is associated with elevated intra...

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...
