Complement-dependent bystander injury to neurons in AQP4-IgG seropositive neuromyelitis optica

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (herein called NMO) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in which AQP4-IgG binding to AQP4 on astrocytes results in complement ...

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

MRI Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space: Effects of Mean Tract Orientation Divergence

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS) index is an established term, and ongoing research aims to explore underlying mechanisms. Hypothesis DTI‐ALPS measures are influenced by subject‐specific orientational differences of the projection and association fibers. Study Type Prospective.

Repeated moderate hypothermia leads to sustained glymphatic dysfunction and loss of vascular AQP4 polarization

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) enters the brain along perivascular spaces in a manner that depends on aquaporin-4 (AQP4) polarization, facilitating brain clearance and is called the glymphatic system.

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Brain Clearance of Contrast Agent in Intravenous DCE‐MRI Is Measurable and Cannot Be Explained by Clearance Across the BBB Alone

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To determine the feasibility of measuring brain clearance of gadolinium contrast agent using standard intravenous DCE‐MRI acquisitions and evaluate the contribution of blood–brain barrier (BBB) and non‐BBB clearance routes. Methods Uptake and extended Tofts models were fit to DCE‐MRI data from people with Parkinson's disease, post ...

The developmental history of study on neuromyelitis optica

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2014
In 19th century, neuromyelitis optica (NMO) indicated optic neuritis and myelitis with simultaneous onset of both sides. Later studies proposed that the onset of right or left side optic neuritis could be separated by weeks, months even years.
