Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...

Abstract Objective Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE), but early biomarkers for epileptogenesis are lacking. We aimed to investigate electrographic biomarkers before and during posttraumatic seizure development. Methods We used a repetitive diffuse TBI model in mice with continuous video‐EEG monitoring up to 4½ months ...

Variable loss of Kir4.1 channel function in SeSAME syndrome mutations [PDF]
SeSAME syndrome is a complex disease characterized by seizures, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, mental retardation and electrolyte imbalance. Mutations in the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4.1 (KCNJ10 gene) have been linked to this condition. Kir4.1 channels are weakly rectifying channels expressed in glia, kidney, cochlea and possibly other

Unidirectional photoreceptor-to-Müller glia coupling and unique K+ channel expression in Caiman retina. [PDF]
Müller cells, the principal glial cells of the vertebrate retina, are fundamental for the maintenance and function of neuronal cells. In most vertebrates, including humans, Müller cells abundantly express Kir4.1 inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

EAST/SeSAME Syndrome and Beyond: The Spectrum of Kir4.1- and Kir5.1-Associated Channelopathies
In 2009, two groups independently linked human mutations in the inwardly rectifying K+ channel Kir4.1 (gene name KCNJ10) to a syndrome affecting the central nervous system (CNS), hearing, and renal tubular salt reabsorption.

The emerging role of the inwardly rectifying K+ channels in autism spectrum disorders and epilepsy [PDF]
Autism is a complex behavioral disorder that develops prior to age three years and is distinguished by high heritability. Many genes predisposing to autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been identified.

ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, the global burden of common metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis has steadily increased, becoming a serious public health issue that poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Potassium channels, particularly the voltage‐gated Kv1.3 subtype, serve as critical regulators of cellular
