Activation of AMPK by GLP-1R Agonists Mitigates Alzheimer-Related Phenotypes in Transgenic Mice

I. Research Background and Scientific Question Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, with pathological features mainly including neuronal loss, neurofibrillary tangles, and senile plaques (mainly formed by amyloid-β [Aβ] deposition). According to statistics, the number of AD patients continues to rise each...

Relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats

rh-relaxin-2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Neuronal Apoptosis via the ERK-nNOS-NO Pathway After Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in Rats Academic Background Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage (GMH) is one of the most common neurological disorders in newborns, particularly in preterm infants, and is a major cause of brain injury. GMH not only triggers acute inf...

Overview of Nitroglycerin-Based Neuroprotection in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Review Background and Research Objectives Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the leading global causes of disability and death. Despite the significant improvement in vascular recanalization rates and patient outcomes achieved with moder...

Amelioration of astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation by EI-16004 confers neuroprotection in an MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease model

Alleviating Effect of EI-16004 on Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroinflammation in MPTP-Induced Parkinson’s Disease Model Background Introduction Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the elderly, characterized by tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and loss of postural reflexes, mainly due to the loss of dopaminergic neu...
