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.

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 ...

The superiority of conditioned medium derived from rapidly expanded mesenchymal stem cells for neural repair

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2019
s Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex and severe neurological condition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their secreted factors show promising potential for regenerative medicine.

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 ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Neuroinflammation as Fuel for Axonal Regeneration in the Injured Vertebrate Central Nervous System

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2017
Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in elderly, as repair after lesions or neurodegenerative disease usually fails because of the limited capacity of CNS regeneration.

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 ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Genetically engineered BMSCs promote dopamine secretion and ameliorate motor dysfunction in a Parkinson’s disease rat model

open access: yesScientific Reports
Regenerative therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is regarded as a promising strategy for treating Parkinson’s disease (PD). Previous studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has the potential to treat Parkinson’s disease ...
