Cannabidivarin Treatment Ameliorates Autism-Like Behaviors and Restores Hippocampal Endocannabinoid System and Glia Alterations Induced by Prenatal Valproic Acid Exposure in Rats

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition whose primary features include social communication and interaction impairments with restricted or repetitive motor movements. No approved treatment for the core symptoms is availa...

Correlation between sarcopenia and changes in oligodendrocyte lineage cells in the brains of Alzheimer's disease model mice

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by cognitive dysfunction. The discovery and identification of non-cognitive symptoms in the preclinical stage hold promise for early diagnosis and ...

Brain‐Penetrating and Disease Site‐Targeting Manganese Dioxide‐Polymer‐Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Remodel Microenvironment of Alzheimer's Disease by Regulating Multiple Pathological Pathways

Abstract Finding effective disease‐modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease remains challenging due to an array of factors contributing to the loss of neural function. The current study demonstrates a new strategy, using multitargeted bi...

Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts

Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), together with satu...

Synergistic effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicle and miR-137 alleviates autism-like behaviors by modulating the NF-κB pathway

Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder predominant in childhood. Despite existing treatments, the benefits are still limited. This study explored the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cell-deri...

Proteomic analysis of synergetic neuroprotective effect of adenosine, thiamine, niacin and cyanocobalamin in pathophysiology of diabetic polyneuropathy

Background. Neurotransmitter adenosine and B-group vitamins have neuroprotective, remyelinizing and anti-neuroinflammatory properties. Despite the studies of these molecules for decades, the molecular mechanisms of their synergistic effect ...

Effective analysis of neurotoxicity and mechanisms of dioctyl terephthalate using network toxicology

ObjectiveDioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), a widely used plasticizer in food packaging and environmental materials, has raised concerns regarding its potential impact on human health. This study aims to investigate the neurotoxicity-related mec...

GPR55 activation improves anxiety- and depression-like behaviors of mice during methamphetamine withdrawal

Methamphetamine is a potent and highly addictive neurotoxic psychostimulant that triggers a spectrum of adverse emotional responses during withdrawal. G-protein coupled receptor 55 (GPR55), a novel endocannabinoid receptor, is closely assoc...

Neurotoxicity of PM_2.5-Bound Multi-Pollutant Mixtures in Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring the <i>INPP5D</i>/SHIP1-PI3K-AKT Axis via an Integrative Multi-Omics Study

Accumulating epidemiological evidence links ambient PM2.5 exposure to elevated Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk, yet the neurotoxicity triggered by PM2.5 multi-pollutant mixtures under real co-exposure scenarios remains insufficiently elucidat...

Mapping the acute trajectory of sport-related concussion outcomes across symptoms, cognition, and blood biomarkers

Sport-related concussion (SRC) and its potential neurological sequela represent an emerging global health concern, requiring improved recovery management and strategies for return-to-play (RTP) to enhance brain health in athletes. Given the...

Identification of brain regions predicting epileptogenesis by serial [18F]GE-180 positron emission tomography imaging of neuroinflammation in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Excessive activation of inflammatory signaling pathways seems to be a hallmark of epileptogenesis. Positron emission tomography (PET) allows in vivo detection of brain inflammation with spatial information and opportunities for longitudinal...

Necroptosis and Neuroinflammation in Retinal Degeneration

Necroptosis mediates the chronic inflammatory phenotype in neurodegeneration. Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) plays a pivotal role in the induction of necroptosis in various cell types, including microglia, and it is implicated i...

CD36‐Binding Amphiphilic Nanoparticles for Attenuation of α‐Synuclein‐Induced Microglial Activation

Neuroinflammation is one of the hallmarks contributing to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology, where microglial activation occurs as one of the earliest events, triggered by extracellular α‐synuclein (aSYN) binding to the cluster of differen...
