Astrocyte-Secreted Neurocan Controls Inhibitory Synapse Formation and Function

Astrocyte-Secreted Neurocan Controls Inhibitory Synapse Formation and Function

Astrocytes Secrete Neurocan to Control Inhibitory Synapse Formation and Function In recent years, the role of neuron-glial cell interactions in synapse formation and maintenance of synaptic function has become a hot topic in neuroscience research. This paper, published by Dolores Irala et al. from Duke University Medical Center in the May 2024 issu...

p-tau217 correlates with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease, and targeting p-tau217 with immunotherapy ameliorates murine tauopathy

Correlation between p-tau217 and Alzheimer’s Disease Neurodegeneration and the Ameliorative Effects of Targeting p-tau217 Immunotherapy in Mouse Tauopathy Introduction Neuron loss is a core issue in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, to date, no therapy can halt the neurodegenerative changes associated with AD. Tau is a microtubule-associated prote...

Leptomeningeal Collaterals Regulate Reperfusion in Ischemic Stroke and Rescue the Brain from Futile Recanalization

Leptomeningeal Collaterals Regulate Reperfusion in Ischemic Stroke and Rescue the Brain from Futile Recanalization

Leptomeningeal Glial Modulation of Ischemic Stroke Reperfusion to Avoid Futile Recanalization Background Ischemic Stroke is caused by the sudden blockage of cerebral arteries, leading to millions of disabilities and deaths globally each year. The current treatment for ischemic stroke primarily involves intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombe...

Multi-Template Meta-Information Regularized Network for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis Using Structural MRI

Multi-Template Meta-Information Regularized Network for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis Using Structural MRI

Multi-template Meta-information Regularized Network for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis: A Study Based on Structural MRI Research Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and its diagnosis and early detection is a significant challenge in the medical field. Structural MRI (sMRI) is widely used in computer-aided...
