Pigment Epithelium‐Derived Factor Deficiency Impairs Hippocampal Glutamate Homeostasis and Cognitive Function by Downregulating Astrocytic GLT‐1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The chronic glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity hypothesis has profoundly informed the therapeutic strategies employed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study shows pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) regulates astrocytic glutamate transporter‐1 (GLT‐1)‐mediated glutamate homeostasis and cognition. Reduced PEDF correlates with lower Mini‐Mental State

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor influences proliferation of osteoblastic cells [PDF]

, 2012
Little is known about the role of neurotrophic growth factors in bone metabolism. This study investigated the short-term effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on calvarial-derived MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts.

Potentiating Cerebral Perfusion Normalizes Glymphatic Dynamics in Systemic Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LPS‐induced systemic inflammation increases glymphatic influx but delays cervical lymphatic drainage, accompanied by AQP4 depolarization and impaired glymphatic clearance. Enhancing cerebral blood flow via the inotropic agent levosimendan effectively restored AQP4 polarization, improving glymphatic flux and amyloid‐β clearance.

Fluoxetine regulates the expression of neurotrophic/growth factors and glucose metabolism in astrocytes [PDF]

, 2018
Rationale: The pharmacological actions of most antidepressants are ascribed to the modulation of serotonergic and/or noradrenergic transmission in the brain.

Enhancement of BDNF Concentration and Restoration of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Accompany Reduced Depressive-Like Behaviour in Stressed Ovariectomised Rats Treated with Either Tualang Honey or Estrogen [PDF]

, 2014
A possible interaction between glucocorticoids and estrogen-induced increases in brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in enhancing depressive-like behaviour has been documented.

Synergistic Modulation of Microglial Polarization by Acteoside and Ferulic Acid via Dual Targeting of Nrf2 and RORγt to Alleviate Depression‐Associated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning‐directed phytochemical pair ACT/FA, administered at BDD's orthodox ratio, synergistically modulates microglial polarization via dual Nrf2/RORγt targeting to attenuate neuroinflammation and depressive behaviors. This concentration‐dependent synergism replicates the parent formula's efficacy while providing a mechanistic basis for ...

Advanced Biomaterial Delivery of Hypoxia‐Conditioned Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) as a Therapeutic Platform for Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This research introduces a novel approach to enhance neuroregeneration following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are isolated from human neural progenitor cells under hypoxic conditions, leading to enhanced expression of neurogenic and angiogenic factors.

Decoding Dental Stem Cell Aging: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Strategies, and Beyond

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dental stem cell (DSC) aging involves genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere attrition, and epigenetic alterations, leading to impaired proliferation, reduced differentiation potential, and pro‐inflammatory secretory activity. These processes drive cellular senescence and compromise regenerative and immunomodulatory functions, thereby

Examining changes in serum levels of Irisin and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in inactive middle-aged men in two phases of training and detraining [PDF]

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Īlām
Introduction:  Resistance training increases irisin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor secretion, impacting myogenic regulatory factors and muscle function, but maintaining these adaptations remains a challenging challenge.
