Abstract Background Neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption are two vital mechanisms of secondary brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recently, melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r) activation by Nle4-D-Phe7-α-MSH (NDP-MSH) was shown to play a neuroprotective role in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model. This study aimed investigate whether NDP-MSH could alleviate neuroinflammation BBB after ICH, as well the potential its roles....

Liver cancer remains a major problem around the world. Resibufogenin (RBG) is bioactive compound that was isolated from Chansu (also called toad venom or poison), which popular traditional Chinese medicine obtained skin secretions of giant toads. RBG has strong antitumor effects, but its poor aqueous solubility and cardiotoxicity have limited clinical use. The aim this study to formulate RBG-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate...

Abstract Background Specific highly polarized aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) expression is reported to play a crucial role in blood‐brain barrier (BBB) integrity and brain water transport balance. The upregulation of polymerase δ‐interacting protein 2 (Poldip2) was involved aggravating BBB disruption following ischemic stroke. This study aimed investigate whether Poldip2‐mediated cerebral edema formation mouse bacterial meningitis (BM) model occur via induction AQP4 polarity loss. Methods Results Mouse...
