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...
Elevated IL-6 Levels and Upregulation of Iron-Regulatory Biomarkers Promote Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection In this research paper, the authors explore changes in inflammatory response and iron-regulatory biomarkers during Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) infection. A comprehensive analysis of iron-regulatory biomarkers and inflammatory resp...
Research Reveals Gender-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in Neuroinflammation, Injury, and Recovery Background Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Due to limited understanding of its linked disease mechanisms, current treatments for alleviating acute ischemic brain injury are very limited. Recent...
Inhibition of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K1) Reduces Cerebral Cortical Blood Flow in Autism-Tuberous Sclerosis Rats: Research Report Background Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, primarily characterized by multiple benign tumors, including symptoms such as epilepsy, autism spectrum ...
Long-term Effects of CD8+ T Cell Subsets in Neuroinflammation After Ischemic Stroke Background Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. After stroke, neuroinflammation is rapidly induced, activating various cells such as mast cells, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular endothelial cells. These reactive cells then express various i...
Study on the Improvement of Cognitive Function in ICV-STZ-Induced Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model by Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory loss, personality changes, and emotion...
TLR7 Induces CCL2 Expression in Neurons via NF-κB Research Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one of the important mechanisms for recognizing specific molecular structures of microbes. In humans, ten TLRs (TLR1-10) are known, among which TLR3 and TLR7 are located on the endosomal membrane and play important roles in sensing virus-derived nuc...
Effects of Clemizole on Parkinson’s Disease Pathology Induced by α-Synuclein Fibril Formation Background Introduction Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a typical neurodegenerative disease, mainly associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. However, current therapeutic approaches targeting these pathological events have not successfull...
Academic Report on the Scientific Paper “circPTP4A2 Promotes Microglial Polarization in Ischemic Stroke via the miR-20b-5p/YTHDF1/TIMP2 Axis” Background Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is brain tissue necrosis caused by cerebral blood flow obstruction and is the second leading cause of disability and death globally. Current clinical treatment str...
