Decrease of renal aquaporins 1–4 is associated with renal function impairment in pediatric congenital hydronephrosis
Renal aquaporins (AQP1-4) concentration is downregulated and is in proportion to the degree of hydronephrosis graded by ultrasound in pediatric congenital hydronephrosis (CH). However, the relationship between...

Firing Pattern Modulation Through SK Channel Current Increase Underlies Neuronal Survival in an Organotypic Slice Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are vulnerable to excitotoxicity in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Neurotoxic stimuli may alter the firing patterns of DA neurons. However, whether ...

Open AccessSpinal CCL2 Promotes Pain Sensitization by Rapid Enhancement of NMDA-Induced Currents Through the ERK-GluN2B Pathway in Mouse Lamina II Neurons
Previous studies have shown that CCL2 (C–C motif chemokine ligand 2) induces chronic pain, but the exact mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we established models to explore the potential mechanisms. Behaviora...
