Peptide‐Incorporated Biomaterials Promote Regeneration of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Peptide‐incorporated biomaterials provide precise, tunable biological cues that mimic functional protein domains to regulate behaviors of neurons, Schwann cells, immune cells, and endothelial cells, thereby enhancing axon elongation, Schwann cell support, inflammatory microenvironment modulation, and vascularization, offering a promising alternative to

After nerve injury, Schwann cells (SCs) dedifferentiate, proliferate, and support axon regrowth. If axons fail to regenerate, denervated SCs eventually undergo apoptosis due, in part, to increased expression of the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor ...

Mutant huntingtin enhances activation of dendritic Kv4 K+ channels in striatal spiny projection neurons [PDF]
Huntington\u27s disease (HD) is initially characterized by an inability to suppress unwanted movements, a deficit attributable to impaired synaptic activation of striatal indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs).

Fragment C of Tetanus Toxin : New Insights into Its Neuronal Signaling Pathway [PDF]
When Clostridium tetani was discovered and identified as a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium of the genus Clostridium, the possibility of turning its toxin into a valuable biological carrier to ameliorate neurodegenerative processes was inconceivable ...

The Role of Dopamine Signaling and Neuroinflammation in Age‐Related Cognitive Dysfunction
We reveal early disruption in synaptic integrity (PSD‐95, synaptophysin, BDNF), increased dopamine clearance (Comt, Net), and inflammatory signaling (Nfkb, Socs3) in the PFC, while the hippocampus remains largely resistant. These molecular “warning signs” precede behavioral deficits, highlighting potential targets for early intervention to protect ...

p75 neurotrophin receptor mediates neuronal cell death by activating GIRK channels through phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PDF]
The pan neurotrophin receptor p75(NTR) signals programmed cell death both during nervous system development and after neural trauma and disease in the adult. However, the molecular pathways by which death is mediated remain poorly understood.

EA exerts therapeutic effects in ischemic stroke through multiple mechanisms: it alleviates acute injury by suppressing neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy dysregulation, and blood–brain barrier disruption, while enhancing cerebral blood flow, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis to support ...

Contribution of Schwann Cells to Remyelination in a Naturally Occurring Canine Model of CNS Neuroinflammation. [PDF]
Gliogenesis under pathophysiological conditions is of particular clinical relevance since it may provide evidence for regeneration promoting cells recruitable for therapeutic purposes.

The p75NTR SIGNALING CASCADE MEDIATES MECHANICAL HYPERALGESIA INDUCED BY NERVE GROWTH FACTOR INJECTED INTO THE RAT HIND PAW [PDF]
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) augments excitability of isolated rat sensory neurons through activation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) and its downstream sphingomyelin signaling cascade, wherein neutral sphingomyelinase(s) (nSMase), ceramide, and ...

Extracellular vesicles mediate melanoma progression by transferring biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) that reshape the tumour microenvironment, promote immune evasion and drive metastasis. They also serve as diagnostic biomarkers and engineered therapeutic carriers for targeted therapy.
