An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

An Autoantibody Signature Predictive for Multiple Sclerosis

Predictive Autoantibody Signature for Multiple Sclerosis Academic Background and Research Significance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies have mostly suggested that T cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS. Howe...

Information-Based TMS to Mid-Lateral Prefrontal Cortex Disrupts Action Goals During Emotional Processing

Abstract In recent years, researchers have gradually recognized that contextual awareness and goal-directed responses to emotional events are crucial for adaptive functioning. Behavioral and emotional regulation models posit that the lateral prefrontal cortex (lpfc) maintains goal-related representations, thereby facilitating cognitive control. How...

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analyses Reveal the Link of NOMO1 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Spatial Enrichment and Genomic Analysis Reveal Association between NOMO1 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord gradually degrade. Although the genetic susceptibility of sporadic ALS patients remains uncertain, TDP-4...

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Primarily Impair the Extrasynaptic Compartment

NMDA Receptor Autoantibodies Mainly Damage Extrasynaptic Components Background Information In recent years, neuroimmunology research has revealed various neurological and psychiatric diseases associated with autoantibodies. In these disorders, autoantibodies target various molecules, including receptor membrane proteins, causing abnormal neural sys...

Distinct Ultrastructural Phenotypes of Glial and Neuronal Alpha-Synuclein Inclusions in Multiple System Atrophy

Different Ultrastructural Phenotypes of α-Synuclein Inclusions in Glia and Neurons in Brain Regions of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) in specific brain regions, forming pathological inclusions that primarily ...
