Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Sub-Chronic Neuropathological and Biochemical Changes in Mouse Visual System after Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. [PDF]
Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (r-mTBI) results in neuropathological and biochemical consequences in the human visual system. Using a recently developed mouse model of r-mTBI, with control mice receiving repetitive anesthesia alone (r-sham) we ...

Tumor microenvironment (Part I): Tissue integrity in a rat model of peripheral neural cancer [PDF]
ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and MPZ (myelin protein zero) are thought to be a factor in the integrity of nerve tissues. In this report, we attempted to trace the expression of ICAM-1, responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, and of MPZ, the main constituent of myelin sheath, in malignant tissues of the sciatic nerve (SN) in inbred male ...

AxoNet: an AI-based tool to count retinal ganglion cell axons [PDF]
Goal: In this work, we develop a robust, extensible tool to automatically and accurately count retinal ganglion cell axons in images of optic nerve tissue from various animal models of glaucoma. Methods: The U-Net convolutional neural network architecture was adapted to learn pixelwise axon count density estimates, which were then integrated over the ...

Synuclein: a neuron-specific protein localized to the nucleus and presynaptic nerve terminal
We used an antiserum against purified cholinergic synaptic vesicles from Torpedo and expression screening to isolate a cDNA clone encoding synuclein, a 143 amino acid neuron-specific protein.

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.
