Astrocyte in Neurological Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapy
This review provides comprehensive overview of astrocytes in neurological disorders. Astrocytes contribute to neurological disorders via A1/A2 polarization, inducing neuroinflammation, synaptic, and BBB dysfunction. Metabolic disturbances in glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways leading to oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.

Molecular Mechanisms of Chronic Pain and Therapeutic Interventions
We offer a comprehensive overview of the distinctive molecular mechanisms underlying nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, including the immune responses, ion channels, monoaminergic imbalance, and neuroinflammation. Subsequently, we summarized the status quo of nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain managementmanipulation.

Abstract Background Fatigue in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and debilitating non‐motor symptom. Despite its significant impact on quality of life, the underlying neurochemical and network‐based mechanisms remain poorly understood. Objectives This observational study applied a multimodal imaging approach to explore potential links between the
