Intrathecal ARTN‐Fc treatment attenuates TLR4/NF‐κB‐associated neuroinflammation, promotes microglia/macrophage polarization towards an anti‐inflammatory phenotype, and improves functional recovery after spinal cord injury. ARTN‐Fc also modulates inhibitory/excitatory synaptic marker expression in the L4–L5 spinal dorsal horn, which may contribute to ...

Scutellarin Alleviates Neuronal Apoptosis After Ischemia and Hypoxia via the HIF‐1α–CX3CR1 Axis
In this study, we established a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion and cultured primary neurons to evaluate the protective effects of scutellarin against ischemia and hypoxia, specifically analyzing CX3CR1 expression and its role in apoptosis.

Using [18F]‐SMBT‐1 PET, we longitudinally tracked MAO‐B–expressing reactive astrocytes during orofacial neuropathic pain development in rats, revealing region‐ and time‐specific astrocyte activation during pain chronification. ABSTRACT Chronic neuropathic pain represents a significant global health burden and is hypothesized to be maintained by an ...

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle atrophy is a frequent comorbidity of metabolic disorders and chronic diseases, and despite its high prevalence, no pharmacological therapy is available, representing a major unmet clinical need. Adiponectin and its receptors are key regulators of skeletal muscle metabolism, mitochondrial function and myogenesis, yet ...
