Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized mainly by resting tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been widely used to treat the motor symptoms of PD (Krauss et al., 2021). However, DBS treatment also has significant side effects, most of which are caused by the extension of stimulat...
This paper is a study on the phenotypic associations and neurobiological bases of single-subject morphological brain networks. Combining multimodal and multiscale data, this study reveals the differences in morphological brain networks between genders, their potential as individual-specific markers, and their relationships with gene expression, lay...
Study of Network Information Interactions in Schizophrenia Magnetoencephalograms Based on Permutation Transfer Entropy Academic Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a mental disorder characterized by persistent delusions and hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and inconsistent behavior, often leading to significant impairment in the perception of r...
Brain Functional Network for Anxiety Analysis and Detection Based on Improved Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Academic Background and Research Objectives With the increasing stress of modern life, anxiety, a common neurological disorder, has become an urgent issue in global public health. Anxiety not only manifests as mental disorders but als...
The Impact of Amplitude and Phase-based MRI Time Series on Functional Connectivity Analysis Introduction Over the past decade, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive imaging technique that uses blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast to measure brain activity and study brain function (Kwong, 1996). By analyz...
The Mechanism of Action of Specific Reprogramming of Histone H3 Lysine 9 Acetylation (H3K9ac) in the Progression and Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) Background Esophageal cancer is one of the most prevalent and invasive malignant tumors globally, causing over 500,000 cancer-related deaths annually, ranking sixth among cancer...
The research team consisting of Guilan Shi, Jody Synowiec, Julie Singh, and Richard Heller published a paper titled “Modification of the tumor microenvironment enhances immunity with plasmid gene therapy” in Cancer Gene Therapy. The background of the study stems from current challenges in the field of tumor immunotherapy, such as tumor cells evadin...
This study explores the interactions between Schwann cells and fibroblasts in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) related plexiform neurofibroma (PNF). The background of the research is based on the high incidence of NF1, which affects about 1 in 3000 newborns worldwide and is associated with a series of unique clinical manifestations. PNF is a common p...
GRIN2A Mutations as a Novel Indicator for Stratifying Beneficiaries of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Various Cancers Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy, which modulates the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death (ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1) pathways, has made revolutionary progress in treating v...
