Cell Membrane Vesicle Camouflaged Artificial Cells
Artificial cells camouflaged with a cell membrane vesicle coating are able to assemble into synthetic aggregates that exhibit rudimentary communication capabilities. Additionally, when these artificial cells are equipped with antioxidant capabilities, they are able to protect the intracellular homeostasis in HepG2 cells present in semi‐synthetic ...

Tangles, toxicity, and tau secretion in AD – new approaches to a vexing problem
When the microtubule-associated protein tau is not bound to axonal microtubules (MTs), it becomes hyperphosphorylated and vulnerable to proteolytic cleavage and other changes typically seen in the hallmark tau deposits (neurofibrillary tangles) of tau ...

A Computational Model of Levodopa-Induced Toxicity in Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta in Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic cells in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). The root cause of this cell loss in PD is still not decisively elucidated. A recent line of thinking traces the cause of PD neurodegeneration to metabolic deficiency.

The pathomechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD) certainly involves mitochondrial disturbances, glutamate excitotoxicity, and neuroinflammation. The three main aspects of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD, i.e., the defects in dynamics, altered bioenergetics,

Roles of Kdm6a and Kdm6b in Regulation of Mammalian Neural Regeneration
This study reveals that Kdm6a plays key roles in repressing either peripheral nervous system (PNS) or central nervous system (CNS) axon regeneration, whereas Kdm6b is not involved in regulating CNS axon regeneration. Moreover, both demethylases are able to regulate CNS neuronal survival after injury, but with non‐overlapping mechanisms.

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Potential Metabolomic Linkage in Blood between Parkinson’s Disease and Traumatic Brain Injury
The etiologic basis for sporadic forms of neurodegenerative diseases has been elusive but likely represents the product of genetic predisposition and various environmental factors. Specific gene-environment interactions have become more salient owing, in

GABA Receptor Agonists Protect From Excitotoxic Damage Induced by AMPA in Oligodendrocytes
Oligodendrocytes are the myelin forming cells of the central nervous system, and their vulnerability to excitotoxicity induced by glutamate contributes to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders including brain ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases,

Mitochondria and neuroprotection in stroke: Cationic arginine-rich peptides (CARPs) as a novel class of mitochondria-targeted neuroprotective therapeutics [PDF]
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally and represents a major cause of devastating long-term disability. Despite sustained efforts to develop clinically effective neuroprotective therapies, presently there is no clinically available ...

Transcriptional Profiles for Glutamate Transporters Reveal Differences Between Organophosphates but Similarities with Unrelated Neurotoxicants [PDF]
The developmental neurotoxicity of organophosphates involves mechanisms other than their shared property as cholinesterase inhibitors, among which are excitotoxicity and oxidative stress.
