The Multifaceted Therapeutical Role of Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Family in High-Grade Glioma

The Multifaceted Therapeutic Role of the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Family in High-Grade Glioma Academic Background High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most aggressive and prevalent primary brain tumors in the central nervous system (CNS), accounting for approximately 80% of all malignant brain tumors. Among them, glioblastoma (GBM) is the most ...

Relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats

rh-relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats Academic Background Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage (GMH) is one of the most common neurological disorders in newborns, particularly in preterm infants, and is a major cause of brain injury. GMH not only triggers acute inf...

Research Priorities for Improving Cognitive and Neuropsychological Outcomes in Hydrocephalus

Research Priorities for Improving Cognitive and Neuropsychological Outcomes in Hydrocephalus Academic Background Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder affecting approximately 85 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

Phase-Contrast MRI Analysis of Cerebral Blood and CSF Flow Dynamic Interactions

Study on the Interaction Between Cerebral Blood Flow and Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Measured at Intracranial and Extracranial Planes Background The interaction between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a critical factor in maintaining intracranial pressure (ICP) stability. According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, the intra...

ENPP1 Induces Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Promotes Brain Metastasis Formation in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Breast Cancer

The Role of ENPP1 in Brain Metastasis of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Academic Background Brain metastasis (BM) is a severe neurological complication in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC), with an incidence rate as high as 50%. The formation of brain metastasis is closely related to how tumor cells cross the blood-brain barrier (BB...

Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumor Cell States Phenocopy Cerebral Vascular Development and Homeostasis

Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Study of Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors Academic Background Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). Although SFTs are histologically similar to other meningeal tumors (such as meningiomas), their unique clinical...

Analysis of HER2 Expression Changes from Breast Primary to Brain Metastases and the Impact of HER2-Low Expression on Overall Survival

HER2 Expression Dynamics in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases and Its Impact on Survival Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and brain metastases (BrMs) pose a significant challenge for patients. In recent years, with the prolonged survival of breast cancer patients, the incidence of brain metastases has g...
