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 ...
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...
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...
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 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 ...
A scientific paper authored by Ricardo Augusto Leoni de Sousa and his research team was published in Volume 26, Issue 31 of the journal “Neuromolecular Medicine” in 2024. The paper is titled “Physical exercise inhibits cognitive impairment and memory loss in aged mice, and enhances pre- and post-synaptic proteins in the hippocampus of young and age...
Background Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by uncontrolled infection in the host, and is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care units. It is reported that there are approximately 189 adult sepsis hospitalization cases per 100,000 person-years, with a mortality rate of 26.7%. Sepsis-...
Gene Variants and Altered Blood mRNA Levels as Risk Factors for Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment in Indians Research Background Cognitive impairment is a common clinical outcome after stroke, occurring in about 30% of stroke survivors. Research has shown that Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) plays an important role in this process, and BDNF...
Alleviating Effect of EI-16004 on Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroinflammation in MPTP-Induced Parkinson’s Disease Model Background Introduction Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the elderly, characterized by tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and loss of postural reflexes, mainly due to the loss of dopaminergic neu...
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...
