Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. Recent evidence suggests that intraocular pressure (IOP) is only one of the many risk factors for this disease. Current treatment options for this disease have been limited to the reduction of IOP; however, it is clear now that the disease ...

Mitochondrial surface coating with artificial lipid membrane improves the transfer efficacy
A new approach is developed to promote mitochondria transfer and the efficacy by surface decoration of cationic and fusogenic lipids, DOTAP and DOPE, showing improved neuroprotection in vitro and in vivo.

Neuroprotection and antioxidants
Ischemia as a serious neurodegenerative disorder causes together with reperfusion injury many changes in nervous tissue. Most of the neuronal damage is caused by complex of biochemical reactions and substantial processes, such as protein agregation, reactions of free radicals, insufficient blood supply, glutamate excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress ...

Background Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory disease of the peripheral nervous system characterized by a response directed against certain myelin proteins and for which therapies are ...

Manganese Porphyrin Promotes Post Cardiac Arrest Recovery in Mice and Rats
Introduction Cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation induces global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, causing neurologic deficits or death. Manganese porphyrins, superoxide dismutase mimics, are reportedly able to effectively reduce ischemic injury in ...

Brain-to-cervical lymph node signaling after stroke
Brain damage induces systemic inflammation, but insights and implication of this induction is still unclear. Here the authors show, using rat and mouse focal cerebral ischemia models, that the damaged brain signals via the VEGF-C/VEFGR3 axis to activate ...

Microglia and neuroprotection [PDF]
AbstractMicroglia were first identified over a century ago, but our knowledge about their ontogeny and functions has significantly expanded only recently. Microglia colonize the central nervous system (CNS) in utero and play essential roles in brain development.

Progesterone and neuroprotection [PDF]
Numerous studies aimed at identifying the role of estrogen on the brain have used the ovariectomized rodent as the experimental model. And while estrogen intervention in these animals has, at least partially, restored cholinergic, neurotrophin and cognitive deficits seen in the ovariectomized animal, it is worth considering that the removal of the ...

The APCs of neuroprotection [PDF]
Mutations in the enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) have been linked to the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this issue of the JCI, Zhong et al. report that the endogenous anticoagulant activated protein C (APC) is able to cross the blood-spinal cord barrier in mice and signal to both neuronal and non-neuronal cells ...
