Neuroprotective Role of AQP4 Knockdown in Astrocytes After Oxygen–Glucose Deprivation
Background Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4), predominantly expressed in astrocytes, has been implicated in the development of brain edema following ischemic events. However, its role in post‐stroke neuroinflammation is not fully understood.

ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an immune‐mediated disorder of the central nervous system associated with autoantibodies against aquaporin‐4 (AQP4). This is distinct from myelin‐oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD), defined by anti‐MOG antibodies.

The aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel is essential in neurofluid dynamics. AQP4 loss impairs solute exchange between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF).

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system characterized by cumulative neurological disability over time. Median survival from symptom onset in large cohort studies is approximately four decades, although substantially prolonged disease courses are uncommon.

Astrocytes are key sensors and transducers of biomechanical stimuli within the central nervous system. Astrocyte development is highly dependent on mechanical stimuli such as surrounding tissue stiffness and biomechanical strain. Mechanosensory pathways including integrins, connexins and pannexins, and mechanosensitive channels regulate astrocyte ...

Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Interventions
Multiorgan ischemia–reperfusion injury begins with ischemia‐induced ATP depletion and ionic imbalance, followed by reperfusion‐triggered mitochondrial ROS/RNS bursts, regulated cell death, and DAMP release. Sterile inflammation converges on endothelial–immune–coagulation crosstalk, where NETs drive immunothrombosis, no‐reflow, and remote organ injury ...

Amyloid‐β aggregates induce vasculopathy via ferroptosis in brain endothelial cells
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption is evident in brains with amyloidopathy. In this study, we demonstrate that amyloid β (Aβ) drives abnormal lipid metabolism and lipid droplet formation in brain endothelial cells, leading to lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.
