Recovery from Spreading Depolarization is Slowed by Aging and Accelerated by Antioxidant Treatment in Locusts

The Impact of Aging and Antioxidants on the Recovery from Spreading Depolarization in Locusts Academic Background Spreading Depolarization (SD) is a phenomenon that temporarily shuts down neural processing in both mammals and insects. In humans, SD is associated with various pathological states, such as migraine aura and neuronal death following tr...

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates Dopaminergic Neuronal Damage via Targeting FOSL1 to Activate AKT/mTOR in 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cells

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cell Damage by Targeting FosL1 to Activate the Akt/mTOR Pathway Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta (SNpc). This neuronal loss is closely associated with mitochondri...

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...

Role of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 in Maintaining the Integrity of the Blood-Brain Barrier

The Role of Nrf2 in Maintaining the Integrity of the Blood-Brain Barrier Academic Background The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a crucial barrier between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral blood circulation, composed of endothelial cells, pericytes, smooth muscle cells, astrocytes, and neurons. The primary function of the BBB is to s...
