Research on Saturated Fatty Acids and Brain Function Background Introduction Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major global health challenges today. Numerous studies have shown that excessive consumption of diets rich in saturated fats leads to obesity, accompanied by a series of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance and diabetes. How...
Study on the Role of Gut Microbiota in White Matter Repair after Traumatic Brain Injury - Analysis of “Journal of Neuroinflammation” Introduction Every year, around 1.7 million people in the United States experience traumatic brain injury (TBI), with over 5 million facing disability issues related to TBI. These non-fatal TBIs are estimated to incur...
Important Research Interpretation from “Journal of Neuroinflammation” 2024: The Impact of Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency on Microglial Activation Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Aging is the primary...
Study on Mouse Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy Based on Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Background Organ dysfunction leading to death in sepsis is related to an imbalance in the host’s response to infection, and it has a high global mortality rate. Recent studies have shown that sepsis can cause brain dysfunction, known as sepsis-associate...
The Role of HDAC3 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Background Retinal ischemia-induced retinal diseases are significant characteristics of common visual impairments such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusion. The therapeutic effects for these ischemic retinal diseases are generally ineffective, and the des...
HSV-1 Infection Accelerates the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: Through the Regulation of Microglial Phagocytosis and Activation of the NLRP3 Pathway Research Background With the intensification of global aging, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has become a neurodegenerative disease affecting millions of people. In recent years, an increasing number of...
Research Review: Treating Traumatic Brain Injury through Selective Inhibition of IL-6 Pathway Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of long-term neurological damage and death globally, with no effective disease-modifying treatments currently available. TBI patients often suffer from cognitive, behavioral, and sensory ...
Research Background Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness, characterized by complex neurodegenerative conditions that include extensive inflammatory responses in glial cells, accompanied by the progressive loss of Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs), optic nerve axons, and synaptic connections. Although there are variations in subtypes, topologies, and ...
Research Report: Differential Characteristics and Functions of Regulatory T Cells in the Brain and Spinal Cord Research Background and Motivation This study explored the characteristics and functional differences of regulatory T cells (Tregs) within the central nervous system (CNS). Tregs play a key role in the adaptive immune response, primarily b...
Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Spinal Cord Tissue in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), and the etiology and methods for predicting disease progression are still under investigation. Experimental autoimmune encephalom...
