The anterior nucleus of the thalamus plays a role in the epileptic network
Abstract Objectives We investigated both the metabolic differences and interictal/ictal discharges of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) in patients with epilepsy to clarify the relationship between the ANT and the epileptic network. Methods Nineteen patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who underwent stereoelectroencephalography were studied ...

Novel Advancements in Three-Dimensional Neural Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine [PDF]
Neurological diseases and injuries present some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often causing irreversible and lifelong burdens in the people whom they afflict. These diagnoses have devastating consequences on millions of people each year, and yet there are currently no therapies or interventions that can repair the structure of neural ...

Matrix metalloproteinases as new targets in Alzheimer's disease: Opportunities and Challenges [PDF]
Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, evidences of their pathological roles have also been obtained in the last decades, making MMPs attractive therapeutic targets for several diseases.

Stratification of the phase clouds and statistical effects of the non-Markovity in chaotic time series of human gait for healthy people and Parkinson patients [PDF]
In this work we develop a new method of diagnosing the nervous system diseases and a new approach in studying human gait dynamics with the help of the theory of discrete non-Markov random processes. The stratification of the phase clouds and the statistical non-Markov effects in the time series of the dynamics of human gait are considered.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Latent Space Analysis of VAE and Intro-VAE applied to 3-dimensional MR Brain Volumes of Multiple Sclerosis, Leukoencephalopathy, and Healthy Patients [PDF]
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and microvascular leukoencephalopathy are two distinct neurological conditions, the first caused by focal autoimmune inflammation in the central nervous system, the second caused by chronic white matter damage from atherosclerotic microvascular disease.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Transcriptome‐wide analysis of circRNA and RBP profiles and their molecular relevance for GBM
CircRNAs are differentially expressed in glioblastoma primary tumors and might serve as therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers. The investigation of circRNA and RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) interactions shows that distinct RBPs play a role in circRNA biogenesis and function.

Mechanics of Morphogenesis in Neural Development: in vivo, in vitro, and in silico [PDF]
Morphogenesis in the central nervous system has received intensive attention as elucidating fundamental mechanisms of morphogenesis will shed light on the physiology and pathophysiology of the developing central nervous system. Morphogenesis of the central nervous system is of a vast topic that includes important morphogenetic events such as ...

Chronic TGF‐β exposure drives epithelial HCC cells from a senescent state to a TGF‐β resistant mesenchymal phenotype. This transition is characterized by the loss of Smad3‐mediated signaling, escape from senescence, enhanced invasiveness and metastatic potential, and upregulation of key resistance modulators such as MARK1 and GRM8, ultimately promoting
