Selective vulnerabilities of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors during brain aging

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2010
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are present in high density within the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and play an important role in learning and memory.

Effectiveness and safety of efgartigimod in patients with anti-NMDAR or anti-LGI1 encephalitis and its ¹⁸F-DPA714 PET imaging evaluation: A multicenter, single-arm, prospective, observational real-world study. [PDF]

Neuroprotection
Abstract Background Efgartigimod disrupts the recycling of pathogenic IgG autoantibodies and may represent a candidate therapy for autoimmune encephalitis. This real‐world study evaluated the clinical efficacy, safety, and impact of efgartigimod on brain inflammation.

Relapse risk factors in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis

, 2019
Aim: To identify factors that may predict and affect the risk of relapse in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. Method: This was a retrospective study of an Italian cohort of patients with paediatric (≤18y) onset anti-NMDAR ...

Molecular Dynamics‐Guided Sterol Engineering of mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Biodistribution and Enhances Spleen‐Selective Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sterol engineering enables precise control of mRNA lipid nanoparticles by tuning membrane organization. Replacing cholesterol with bile acid‐derived sterols redirects protein expression from the liver to the spleen. Notably, CA‐20 LNP enhances antigen‐specific immune responses while exhibiting a favorable safety profile, highlighting sterols as a ...

Targeting harmful effects of non-excitatory amino acids as an alternative therapeutic strategy to reduce ischemic damage

Neural Regeneration Research
The involvement of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate in cerebral ischemia and excitotoxicity is well-documented. Nevertheless, the role of non-excitatory amino acids in brain damage following a stroke or brain trauma remains largely ...

Long-Term Treatment With Morphine Increases the D-Serine Content in the Rat Brain by Regulating the mRNA and Protein Expressions of Serine Racemase and D-Amino Acid Oxidase

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Recent studies indicate that an endogenous co-agonist for an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor–related glycine site, D-serine, is synthesized by serine racemase and is metabolized by D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) and that acute treatment with morphine ...

Ahcy Acts as an Effector of Hnf4a‐Driven Super‐Enhancer Activation to Alleviate MASLD During Intermittent Fasting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study identifies an Hnf4a‐driven super‐enhancer of hepatic Ahcy that mediates the protective effects of intermittent fasting against MASLD. Disruption of the Ahcy super‐enhancer reduces Ahcy expression and exacerbates lipid accumulation. This pathway prevents aberrant promoter hypermethylation by maintaining the SAM/SAH balance, as exemplified by ...

Molecular pharmacological characterisation of recombinant and native NR2B- and NR3B- containing NMDA receptors [PDF]

, 2008
NMDA receptors are ionotropic, glutamate receptors which mediate fast excitatory transmissions within the central nervous system. They form tetrameric or pentameric heterologous complexes from seven NMDA receptor subunits NRl, NR2A-D and NR3A-B which ...
