Inhibition of Mannan-Binding Lectin Associated Serine Protease-2 Reduces Cognitive Deficits in a Mouse Model of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

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 ...

Differential Training Benefits and Motor Unit Remodeling in Wrist Force Precision Tasks Following High and Low Load Blood Flow Restriction Exercises Under Volume-Matched Conditions

Differential Training Benefits and Motor Unit Remodeling in Wrist Force Precision Tasks Following High and Low Load Blood Flow Restriction Exercises Under Volume-Matched Conditions

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 Infection Causes Neuroinflammation in the Brainstem

Neonatal Respiratory Infections Lead to Brainstem Neuroinflammation Introduction Respiratory infections are one of the most common diseases and causes of morbidity among newborns. During the acute phase, infections are known to cause widespread peripheral inflammation. However, the effect of this inflammation on the critical neural centers that con...

Impaired GABAergic Regulation and Developmental Immaturity in Interneurons Derived from the Medial Ganglionic Eminence in the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Hippocampal Neurons - The Destructive Force Behind Epilepsy and Mental Disorders Background Introduction Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a complex multi-system genetic disorder that manifests with lesions in the brain, skin, heart, kidneys, and other organs as the patient ages. Clinically, TSC presents with symptoms such as epilepsy and develop...

Physiological aging and inflammation-induced cellular senescence may contribute to oligodendroglial dysfunction in MS

Background Introduction In this paper, the researchers discuss the impact of aging on the functionality of all cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) and its role in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these age-related changes and their contribution to diseases remain poorly u...

Genome-Wide Loss of Heterozygosity Predicts Aggressive, Treatment-Refractory Behavior in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors

Prediction of Invasiveness and Treatment Resistance Behavior of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors Based on Genome-Wide Loss of Heterozygosity Background: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are mostly benign, but a small portion exhibit invasive and treatment-resistant behaviors, continuing to grow or metastasize even after surgery, conventiona...

Aberrant CHCHD2-Associated Mitochondriopathy in Kii ALS/PDC Astrocytes

Study Report on Abnormal CHCHD2-Related Mitochondrial Pathology in Astrocytes in Kii ALS/PDC I. Research Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS/PDC) is a rare and complex neurodegenerative disorder primarily observed in Western Pacific islands such as Japan, Guam, and Papua New Guinea. Patients with this disease...

Disentangling the Heterogeneity of Multiple Sclerosis Through Identification of Independent Neuropathological Dimensions

Research Background Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disease involving lesions in the central nervous system, characterized mainly by demyelination of neuronal axons and neuronal damage. The heterogeneity of the disease is extremely high, meaning that different patients exhibit varying symptoms and pathological mechanisms, which greatly complica...

Co-registration of MALDI-MSI and histology demonstrates gangliosides co-localize with amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Co-registration of MALDI-MSI and histology demonstrates gangliosides co-localize with amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Co-localization of Gangliosides with Amyloid Beta Plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease Detected by MALDI-MSI and Histology Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment and behavioral changes. Historically, AD research has focused on misfolded proteins, but with advancements in mass spectrometry...
