Treatment of chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is challenging due to cell loss, cyst formation, and the glial scar. Previously, we reported on therapeutic potential a neural progenitor (NPC) chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) combinatorial therapy for SCI. However, source NPCs delivery system required ChABC remained barriers clinical application. Here, investigated directly reprogrammed human biased toward an oligodendrogenic fate (oNPCs) in combination with sustained using innovative affinity...

Despite growing evidence that has declared the importance of circRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases, clinical significance dopaminergic (DA) neuronal degeneration pathogenesis Parkinson disease (PD) remains unclear. Here, we performed rRNA-depleted RNA sequencing and detected more than 10,000 plasma samples PD patients. In consideration ROC correlation between Hohen-Yahr stage (H-Y stage) Unified Disease Rating Scale-motor score (UPDRS) 40 patients,

Background Accumulating evidence demonstrates that an increased tumor-associated macrophage abundance is often associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). The mechanism underlying the effect of tumor-derived exosomes on M2 polarization remains elusive. Results novel circular RNA circPOLQ exhibited significantly higher expression CRC tissues than paired normal tissues. Higher was poorer patients CRC. In vitro and vivo experiments showed exosomal did not directly regulate cell...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and devastating psychiatric illness. Unfortunately, the current therapeutic practice, generally depending on serotonergic system for drug treatment unsatisfactory shows intractable side effects. Multiple evidence suggests that dopamine (DA) dopaminergic signals associated with neuroinflammation are highly involved in pathophysiology of depression as well mechanism antidepressant drugs, which still early stage study worthy investigation.We...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, contributing to considerable disability worldwide. Current treatments offer only symptomatic relief, highlighting need for novel therapeutic strategies targeting progression. Neuroinflammation plays pivotal role in PD pathogenesis, with NLRP3 inflammasome emerging as key contributor. The virtual screening natural product library comprising 5,088 compounds was...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor with intra-tumoral hierarchy of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). The heterogeneity GSCs within GBM inevitably leads to treatment resistance and recurrence. Molecular mechanisms different cellular state remain unclear. Here, we find that classical (CL) mesenchymal (MES) are enriched in reactive immune region high CL-MES signature informs poor prognosis GBM. Through integrated analyses RNA sequencing single-cell datasets, identify...

Abstract SLC1A5 variant (SLC1A5_var) is identified as a mitochondrial glutamine transporter in cancer cells recently. However, the role of SLC1A5_var Parkinson’s disease (PD) completely unknown. Here, we found significant downregulation astrocytes and midbrain mice treated with MPTP/MPP + LPS. Importantly, overexpression ameliorated but knockdown exacerbated - LPS-induced dysfunction. Consequently, provided beneficial effects on PD pathology including improvement PD-like motor symptoms...

Alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) is reported to participate in the progression of tumors and metabolic diseases. It also considered play a crucial role glutamate-glutamine shuttle neuroglial network. However, it remains unclear involvement ASCT2 neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we demonstrated that high expression plasma samples PD patients midbrain MPTP mouse models positively correlated with dyskinesia. We further illustrated expressed...
