Diurnal Characteristics of the Orexin System Genes and Its Effects on Pathology at Early Stage in 3XTg-AD Mice

Study on the Circadian Rhythm of Orexin System Genes and Their Impact on Early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Pathology Research Background and Objectives Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by senile plaques formed by β-amyloid protein (Aβ) aggregation and neurofibrillary tangles formed...

Increased IL-6 Levels and the Upregulation of Iron Regulatory Biomarkers Contribute to the Progression of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection's Pathogenesis

Elevated IL-6 Levels and Upregulation of Iron-Regulatory Biomarkers Promote Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection In this research paper, the authors explore changes in inflammatory response and iron-regulatory biomarkers during Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) infection. A comprehensive analysis of iron-regulatory biomarkers and inflammatory resp...

MicroRNAs as a Tool for Differential Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders

A New Differential Diagnosis Method Based on miRNA Background Introduction Neuromuscular Disorders (NMDs) are a class of chronic diseases that consistently progress to muscle atrophy. Although certain diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystro...

Effects of Chronic Hypertension on the Energy Metabolism of Cerebral Cortex Mitochondria in Normotensive and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats During Aging

Effects of Chronic Hypertension on Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in the Cerebral Cortex of Normal and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats Background Introduction Chronic hypertension has destructive structural and functional consequences for cerebral vessels and brain parenchyma. Hypertension impairs cerebrovascular autoregulation (Ferrari & Villa, 2...

Uncovering Sex-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanism Involving H3K9me2 in Neural Inflammation, Damage, and Recovery in the Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion Mouse Model

Research Reveals Gender-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in Neuroinflammation, Injury, and Recovery Background Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Due to limited understanding of its linked disease mechanisms, current treatments for alleviating acute ischemic brain injury are very limited. Recent...

Effect of 2-week Naringin Supplementation on Neurogenesis and BDNF Levels in Ischemia–Reperfusion Model of Rats

Research Report on the Effects of Naringin Intervention on Newborn Neurons and BDNF Levels in Rat Brain Ischemia-Reperfusion Model Background With the global increase in cardiovascular diseases, ischemic stroke has gradually become a major cause of death and disability, affecting the quality of life of millions of people. Despite continuous advance...

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...

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 ...
