The Browning and Mobilization of Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue Supports Efficient Skin Repair

Browning of Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue and Skin Repair Efficiency Current scientific research reveals that the participation of various cells is essential in the process of skin repair and regeneration. Among these, adipocytes (fat cells) have attracted attention due to their primary role in energy storage and critical endocrine functions in...

Dysfunctional circadian clock accelerates cancer metastasis by intestinal microbiota triggering accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Dysfunctional circadian clock accelerates cancer metastasis by intestinal microbiota triggering accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Disruption of Circadian Rhythm Promotes Cancer Metastasis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Accumulation Triggered by Intestinal Microbes Academic Background and Research Motivation Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death for most cancer patients, with colorectal cancer (CRC) drawing significant attention due to its high global incidence ...

Long-term Dementia Risk in Parkinson Disease

Study on the Long-Term Risk of Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction. However, cognitive decline and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) are also significant non-motor symptoms of PD. Although dementia occurs in approximately 80% of PD p...

Clinical, Histopathologic, and Genetic Features of Patients with Myofibrillary and Distal Myopathies: Experience from the Italian Network

Clinical, Histopathological, and Genetic Characterization: Insights from Myofibrillar and Distal Myopathies Patients in the Italian Network Background and Research Motivation Myofibrillar Myopathies (MFM) and Distal Myopathies (DM) are a group of rare diseases with complex pathological presentations. The diagnosis process is extremely complicated d...

Genetic Associations with an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Reversal Phenotype

Genetic Association Study of ALS Reversal Phenotype Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of upper and lower motor neurons, progressive weakness, and eventual respiratory failure. However, individual ALS patients have exhibited unusual clinical reversal phenomena, where symptoms signific...

Effect of Immunosuppression in Risk of Developing Generalized Symptoms in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis

The Effect of Immunosuppression on the Risk of Generalization in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Background Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG) is an early and localized manifestation of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), with many patients initially presenting with ocular symptoms such as fatigable ptosis and diplopia. Approximately 85% of MG patients initially exhibit ...

Incidence of Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech and Primary Progressive Aphasia in Olmsted County, MN, 2011–2022

Study on the Incidence of Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech and Primary Progressive Aphasia in Olmsted County (2011-2022) Background and Study Objectives Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech (PPAOS) are rare neurodegenerative diseases that respectively lead to the degeneration of language abilities and spe...

Pathologic Substrates of Structural Brain Network Resilience and Topology in Parkinson Disease Decedents

Scientific Paper News Report: Pathological Basis and Topological Properties of Structural Brain Networks in Parkinson’s Disease Patients Background and Research Objectives In Parkinson’s disease (PD), α-synuclein spreads between connected brain regions, leading to neuronal loss and brain network disruption. Using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), t...

A Comprehensive Overview of NF1 Mutations in Iranian Patients

Comprehensive Overview of Mutations in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Among Iranian Patients Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, characterized by almost complete penetrance and high phenotypic variability. This study aims to identify NF1 mutations in Iranian patients using whole-genome exome sequenc...

Astaxanthin Rescues Memory Impairments in Rats with Vascular Dementia by Protecting Against Neuronal Death in the Hippocampus

Astaxanthin Protects Hippocampal Neurons Against Memory Impairment Caused by Vascular Dementia in Rats Background Introduction Vascular Dementia (VAD) is a progressive cognitive disorder caused by cerebrovascular disease leading to cognitive decline. Current research shows that chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) and insufficient blood supply are ...
