Sepsis and the blood-brain barrier (BBB):rnSepsis is a life threatening systemic inflammatory condition involving multi-organ dysfunction. The World Health Organization estimates that about 30 million people are affected by sepsis every year, and at least
A potential treatment for retinal diseases is to induce an endogenous Müller glia (MG)-derived regenerative response to replace damaged neurons. In contrast to mammalian MG, zebrafish MG are capable of mediating spontaneous regeneration. We seek to define
Subcortical ischemic white matter injury (SIWMI), pathological correlate of white matter hyperintensities or leukoaraiosis on magnetic resonance imaging, is a common causeof cognitive decline in elderly. Despite its high prevalence, it remains unknown how
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is common and, unlike damage to the central nervous system injured nerves can effectively regenerate depending on the location and severity of injury. Peripheral myelinating glia, Schwann cells (SCs), interact with various ce
Intraspinal inflammatory and immune responses are considered to play central roles in the pathological development of spinal cord injury.This study aimed to decipher the dynamics of systemic immune responses, initiated by spinal cord injury. The spinal co
During development, regulation of organ size requires a balance between cell proliferation, growth and cell death. Dysregulation of these fundamental processes can cause a variety of diseases. Excessive cell proliferation results in cancer whereas excessi
The discovery that new neurons are produced in some regions of the adult mammalianbrain is a paradigm-shift in neuroscience research. These new-born cells are produced from neuroprogenitors mainly in the subventricular zone at the margin of the lateral ve
Massage therapy is an alternative treatment for chronic pain that is potentially related to brain plasticity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We established a peripheral nerve injury model in rats by unilateral sciatic nerve transection
Glaucoma and dysfunction of axonal transport: One of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide is glaucoma, with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) being the most common risk factor. However, in some glaucoma patients it has been shown that
Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) has been shown to attenuate DNA damage in nerve cells, thereby enhancing neuronal survival under pathological conditions; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. An in vitro serum-starvation retinal neuron m
