Key Research on the Role of Macrophages in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Background and Research Objectives Since the 1990s, research has shown that macrophages play a promoting role in peripheral nerve regeneration, and are particularly important in the conditioning lesion (CL) response. After sciatic nerve injury, macrophages accumulate at the in...
Protective effects of CCR5-overexpressing mesenchymal stem cells on experimental autoimmune uveitis Background Introduction Uveitis is an inflammatory eye disease that seriously threatens vision and can lead to complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, vitreous opacities, retinal detachment, and abnormal retinal vasculature. This disease is widesp...
Deletion of Microglia PDCD4 Alleviates Neuroinflammation-Associated Depression by Promoting DAXX-Mediated PPARγ/IL-10 Signaling Background In recent years, neuroinflammatory processes have been demonstrated to be associated with various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. A common feature of these diseases is th...
Single-cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Evolution of Immune Landscape in Perihematomal Edema Post Hemorrhagic Stroke Research Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the global health threats, renowned for its high disability and mortality rates. Among the secondary brain injuries caused by ICH, the formation of perihematomal edema (PHE) is ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
