The Impact of Super-Relaxed Myosin on Diaphragm Dysfunction in Ventilated Patients Background Weak diaphragm contraction is a common problem in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs). This leads to difficulties in weaning patients off ventilators, increases mortality rates, and imposes a significant economic burden...
“Revisiting Distinct Nerve Excitability Patterns in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis” Academic Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of central and peripheral motor neurons. Although the disease is clinically and genetically heterogeneous, axonal hy...
Cancer is a major global public health concern, with its complex pathological processes and diverse manifestations being a focus of research. Many studies have shown that acid-base imbalance plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study titled “Acid–base homeo...
Protein Structure Prediction: Challenges, Progress, and Shifts in Research Paradigms Protein structure prediction is an important interdisciplinary research topic that has attracted researchers from various fields including biochemistry, medicine, physics, mathematics, and computer science. Researchers have adopted multiple research paradigms to so...
Study on the Protective Effect of ERP57 on ALS-related Mutant TDP-43 in Neuronal Cells Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Almost all ALS cases (97%) and about 50% of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases show a pathological form of Tar-DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43), indica...
New Scientific Research Reveals Association Between GABRA4 Gene and Neurological Phenotypes Research Background In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of epilepsy and developmental disorder syndromes associated with single gene mutations. GABAA receptors (gamma-aminobutyric acid sub-type A receptors, GABAARs) are heterogen...
Exploring the Relationship between Face-Specific Activity and Conscious Face Perception Introduction Face perception is a fundamental cognitive process that enables humans to effectively identify faces in the environment, thus facilitating better social interactions. Extensive research has identified a specific region in the ventral visual cortex o...
Comparative Study of Molecular Taxonomy in Cortical Regions of Primates and Rodents The brain structure is complex, showing high complexity in both molecular and cellular composition. Current research on brain molecular taxonomy is mainly based on rodents. However, although primates and rodents have common ancestors, they diverged through different...
Mechanism Study of High Magnesium Promoting Binocular Vision Recovery in Amblyopia Patients: The Role of TRPM7 Abnormal visual experiences during critical periods of brain development can lead to visual function deficits, such as amblyopia. Current research suggests that high magnesium (Mg^2+) supplementation can restore synaptic plasticity in the ...
The Role of Occipitotemporal Network in Rapid Reading - An fMRI-based Study Background Reading is the most effective cognitive means for humans to acquire new knowledge. Although most native English-speaking adults read at an average speed of about 200 to 400 words per minute (w/min), many people hope to increase their reading speed to acquire new ...
