Aerobic exercise training increases cerebral blood flow in postmenopausal women
Background: Age-related decrease in cerebral blood flow is a risk factor for cognitive decline. Aerobic exercise training improves vascular and cognitive functions.

Modeling of Cerebral Blood Flow Autoregulation Using Mathematical Control Theory
A mathematical model of cerebral blood flow in the form of a dynamical system is studied. The cerebral blood flow autoregulation modeling problem is treated as a nonlinear control problem and the potential and applicability of the nonlinear control ...

Multivitamins and minerals modulate whole-body energy metabolism and cerebral blood-flow during cognitive task performance: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial [PDF]
Background: The brain is by far the most metabolically active organ in the body, with overall energy expenditure and local blood-supply closely related to neural activity.

Engineering IL‐4 resistant proinflammatory human myeloid cells for cancer immunotherapy
We developed a scalable workflow to generate proinflammatory human myeloid cells. CRISPR/Cas9‐edited CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were expanded and differentiated with M‐CSF. Deletion of STAT6 or STAT6/NFKB1 enhanced macrophage proinflammatory gene expression and cytokine secretion in the presence of IL‐4 while maintaining antibody ...

Glutamate load fosters spreading depolarization under osmotic stress in brain slices
IntroductionCerebral edema is a hallmark of lesion progression after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and a major contributor to the evolution of spreading depolarizations (SDs). SDs trigger extracellular glutamate accumulation and excitotoxic injury, yet the

Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...

3D reconstruction of cerebral blood flow and vessel morphology from x-ray rotational angiography [PDF]
Three-dimensional (3D) information on blood flow and vessel morphology is important when assessing cerebrovascular disease and when monitoring interventions.

During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.

Theoretical investigation of measuring cerebral blood flow in the adult human head using bolus indocyanine green injection and near-infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
To investigate the accuracy of measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) using a bolus injection of indocyanine green (ICG) detected by near infrared spectroscopy in adult human heads, simulations were performed using a two layered model, representing the ...

Epigallocatechin gallate, cerebral blood flow parameters, cognitive performance and mood in healthy humans: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover investigation [PDF]
Objective The aim of the study was to assess the effects of oral ingestion of the ‘green tea’ polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on cognitive performance, mood and localised cerebral blood flow (CBF) parameters in healthy human adults ...
