One of the newest methods to reduce cerebral ischemia damages is cell therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sertoli cell transplantation on ischemia-induced injuries in animal models of stroke. Rats were divided into four groups: transplant+ischemia, ischemia, sham, and control. Sertoli cells were separated from the other testis of rats and cultured. Unilateral Sertoli cel...

INTRODUCTION Exposure to prenatal inflammation is associated with diverse adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in exposed offspring. The mechanism by which inflammation negatively impacts the developing brain is poorly understood. Metabolomic profiling provides an opportunity to identify specific metabolites, and novel pathways, which may reveal mechanisms by which exposure to intrauterine inflamma...

Background Although growing evidence highlights inflammation as a common biological mechanism of delirium and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), not all individuals with high develop delirium, AD, and/or cognitive decline. Therefore other predisposing factors (e.g., brain vulnerability) likely influence the effect on brain. Method We used Role Inflammation after Surgery for Elders (RISE) study adults ag...

When the solution to a clinical or scientific puzzle eludes us for more than a century, as with schizophrenia, we need new methods to examine the pathology. If we want to make an impact on the disease we must shift research paradigms and focus on the early detection, early intervention, and new avenues of treatment that address different symptoms of schizophrenia. Immunological and blood-brain ...

In contrast to traditional textbook paradigms, recent studies indicate neuronal damage in classic neuroinflammatory diseases of the brain, such as multiple sclerosis or meningitis. In these cases, immune cells invade the central nervous system compartments, accompanied by a massive breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and typical changes of the cerebrospinal fluid. On the other hand, inflammati...

Estrogen receptors (ERs) have long been implicated in the etiology of multiple sclerosis, but no clear molecular mechanisms have linked ERs to the disease's pathology. Now Saijo et al. (2011) provide evidence that ERβ activates a transrepression pathway that suppresses inflammation and inhibits progression of pathology in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

more than 10 million people worldwide are living with parkinson’s disease (pd). the ages of people who have parkinson are variable, usually between 50 and 80 years, the average of them is 55 years old. the symptoms of pd are progressive, and within 10 to 20. it happens when dopaminergic neurons were being degenerate. peripheral and central inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways play a compl...

traumatic brain injury resulting road accidents create damage to the brain. the severe brain injury may cause extensive tissue loss of several parenchyma which results in cavities due to primary destruction and secondary injuries such as ischemia and inflammation. recent findings suggest that neuronal precursors in the adult mammalian brain can be a therapeutic target in ischemic brain injuries...

platelet aggregation beta amyloid main causes inflammation of neurons in alzheimer’s disease. in fact, creating this inflammation due to inappropriate actions in blood brain barrier (bbb) and astrocyte and microglia during the last century that studies conducted in this case nothing has been found. the only thing that can be done to prevent and reduce pro-inflammatory factors such as cytokines ...
