Inflammatory Mechanisms in Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Epilepsy: A Study

Neuroinflammation and Epilepsy: The Role of Inflammasomes in Traumatic Brain Injury Background and Purpose Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to changes in brain function and pathology resulting from physical trauma to the head or neck. Apart from common behavioral and psychological disorders, post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is one of the most sever...

The impact of high-fat diet on microglial cells and its effects on brain function

Research on Saturated Fatty Acids and Brain Function Background Introduction Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major global health challenges today. Numerous studies have shown that excessive consumption of diets rich in saturated fats leads to obesity, accompanied by a series of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance and diabetes.

Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency Impairs Microglial Activation in Response to LPS-Induced Inflammation

Important Research Interpretation from “Journal of Neuroinflammation” 2024: The Impact of Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency on Microglial Activation Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Aging is the primary...

Deletion of myeloid HDAC3 promotes efferocytosis to ameliorate retinal ischemic injury

The Role of HDAC3 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Background Retinal ischemia-induced retinal diseases are significant characteristics of common visual impairments such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusion. The therapeutic effects for these ischemic retinal diseases are generally ineffective, and the des...
