The Role of KDM2A and H3K36me2 Demethylation in Modulating MAPK Signaling During Neurodevelopment
Intellectual disability (ID) is a condition characterized by cognitive impairment and difficulties in adaptive functioning. In our research, we identified two de novo mutations (c.955C>T and c.732C>A) at the KDM2...

Endothelial Cell–Derived Let-7c-Induced TLR7 Activation on Smooth Muscle Cell Mediate Vascular Wall Remodeling in Moyamoya Disease
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by frequent migration and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the intima layer of blood vessels. However, the underlying mechanism is un...

Open AccessAstrocyte-derived exosomes enriched with miR-873a-5p inhibit neuroinflammation via microglia phenotype modulation after traumatic brain injury
The interaction between astrocytes and microglia plays a vital role in the damage and repair of brain lesions due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recent studies have shown that exosomes act as potent mediator...

Disruption of Striatal-Enriched Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Signaling Might Contribute to Memory Impairment in a Mouse Model of Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a potentially irreversible acute cognitive dysfunction with unclear mechanism. Striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) is a brain-specific phosphatase wh...

Open AccessNeuritin Attenuates Neuronal Apoptosis Mediated by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress In Vitro
Neuritin is an extracellular glycophosphatidylinositol-linked protein that promotes neuronal survival, differentiation, function, and repair, but the exact mechanism of this neuroprotective effect remains uncl...

Chd7 cooperates with Sox10 and regulates the onset of CNS myelination and remyelination
In this study, He et al. find that the CHARGE syndrome–related chromatin remodeler Chd7 regulates the initiation of myelination and remyelination in the CNS. Chd7 interacts with Sox10 to orchestrate the transcrip...

Small-animal PET demonstrates brain metabolic change after using bevacizumab in a rat model of cerebral ischemic injury
To evaluate the effect of bevacizumab on cerebral ischemia, we used 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) small-animal positron emission tomography (PET) in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat mode...

Open AccessA sex-specific association of common variants of neuroligin genes (NLGN3 and NLGN4X) with autism spectrum disorders in a Chinese Han cohort
Synaptic genes, NLGN3 and NLGN4X, two homologous members of the neuroligin family, have been supposed as predisposition loci for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and defects of these two genes have been identifi...
