Enhanced derivation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical glutamatergic neurons by a small molecule

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) play important role in studying the function of human glutamatergic neurons and related disease pathogenesis. However, the current hPSC-derived cortical system produced a significant number of inhibitory GABAergic ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors 1 Regulates Rat Carotid Body Response to Acute Hypoxia via Presynaptic Mechanism

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: The carotid body (CB) plays a critical role in oxygen sensing; however, the role of glutamatergic signaling in the CB response to hypoxia remains uncertain.

Prior Exposure to Immunosuppressors Sensitizes Retinal Microglia and Accelerates Optic Nerve Regeneration in Zebrafish

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2019
As adult mammals lack the capacity to replace or repair damaged neurons, degeneration and trauma (and subsequent dysfunction) of the central nervous system (CNS) seriously constrains the patient’s life quality.

Magnetic Composite Biomaterials for Neural Regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
Nervous system damage caused by physical trauma or degenerative diseases can result in loss of sensory and motor function for patients. Biomaterial interventions have shown promise in animal studies, providing contact guidance for extending neurites or sustained release of various drugs and growth factors; however, these approaches often target only ...

Immune stimulation recruits a subset of pro-regenerative macrophages to the retina that promotes axonal regrowth of injured neurons

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
The multifaceted nature of neuroinflammation is highlighted by its ability to both aggravate and promote neuronal health. While in mammals retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are unable to regenerate following injury, acute inflammation can induce axonal ...

Biotargets in neural regeneration

open access: yesBiotarget, 2017
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exhibits a much larger capacity for regeneration than the central nervous system (CNS). The main reason is that the neurons in PNS still have certain intrinsic capacity for regeneration and the Schwann cells in PNS provide a suitable regeneration microenvironment.

Nanomaterial-Based Approaches for Neural Regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2019
Mechanical, thermal, chemical, or ischemic injury of the central or peripheral nervous system results in neuron loss, neurite damage, and/or neuronal dysfunction, almost always accompanied by sensorimotor impairment which alters the patient’s life quality. The regenerative strategies for the injured nervous system are currently limited and mainly allow

The DREADDful Hurdles and Opportunities of the Chronic Chemogenetic Toolbox

open access: yesCells, 2022
The chronic character of chemogenetics has been put forward as one of the assets of the technique, particularly in comparison to optogenetics. Yet, the vast majority of chemogenetic studies have focused on acute applications, while repeated, long-term ...

The Application of Brain Organoids in Assessing Neural Toxicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
The human brain is a complicated and precisely organized organ. Exogenous chemicals, such as pollutants, drugs, and industrial chemicals, may affect the biological processes of the brain or its function and eventually lead to neurological diseases ...
