Integrating Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing and Spatial Transcriptomics to Elucidate a Specialized Subpopulation of Astrocytes, Microglia, and Vascular Cells in a Mouse Model of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy

Study on Mouse Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy Based on Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Background Organ dysfunction leading to death in sepsis is related to an imbalance in the host’s response to infection, and it has a high global mortality rate. Recent studies have shown that sepsis can cause brain dysfunction, known as sepsis-associate...

Characterization of Spinal Cord Tissue-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation

Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Spinal Cord Tissue in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), and the etiology and methods for predicting disease progression are still under investigation. Experimental autoimmune encephalom...

CD36 Prevents White Matter Injury by Modulating Microglial Polarization through the TRAF5-MAPK Signal Pathway

CD36 Prevents White Matter Injury by Modulating Microglial Polarization through the TRAF5-MAPK Signal Pathway

Through the Regulation of the TRAF5-MAPK Signaling Pathway in Microglial Polarization, CD36 Inhibits and Alleviates White Matter Damage After Traumatic Brain Injury Research Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) not only damages gray matter but also causes severe white matter damage. White matter damage results in a significant loss of oligodendr...

Sex-dependent effects of carbohydrate source and quantity on caspase-1 activity in the mouse central nervous system

The Gender-Dependent Effects of Carbohydrate Sources and Quantity on Caspase-1 Activity in the Central Nervous System of Mice Research Background With the global intensification of aging, the incidence of cognitive impairments and dementia is rapidly increasing, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form of senile dementia. Studies have sh...

Microglia Undergo Sex-Dimorphic Transcriptional and Metabolic Rewiring During Aging

The Role of Microglia in Neuroinflammation: Metabolic and Gender Differences in Aging Research Background Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease. Even healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function. Previous research has indicated that microglia undergo s...

Role of Macrophages in CL-Enhanced Regeneration After Peripheral Nerve Injury

Key Research on the Role of Macrophages in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Background and Research Objectives Since the 1990s, research has shown that macrophages play a promoting role in peripheral nerve regeneration, and are particularly important in the conditioning lesion (CL) response. After sciatic nerve injury, macrophages accumulate at the in...
