- A novel strategy for bioactive natural products targeting NLRP3 inflammasome in Alzheimer's diseaseby Zhiyou Yang on January 26, 2023
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, is an ageing-related progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder. Extracellular neuritic plaques composed of misfolded amyloid β (Aβ) proteins and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylated tau protein are the two classical characteristics of AD. Aβ and tau pathologies induce neurite atrophy and neuronal apoptosis, leading to cognitive, language, and behavioral deficits. For decades, researchers have made great...
- Childhood-Onset Choreo-Dystonia Due to a Recurrent Novel Homozygous Nonsense HPCA Variant: Case Series and Literature Reviewby Francesca Magrinelli on January 26, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Our case series expands the pheno-genotypic spectrum of HPCA-related disorder by describing childhood-onset choreo-dystonia as a new phenotype, reporting on a recurrent novel pathogenic nonsense variant in HPCA, and suggesting that exon 2 of HPCA might be a mutational hotspot.
- Role of histone deacetylase inhibitors in diabetic cardiomyopathy in experimental models (Review)by Anna Garmpi on January 26, 2023
In diabetes, metabolic dysregulation, caused by hyperglycemia, leads to both structural and functional changes in cardiomyocytes and subsequently leads to the development of cardiomyopathy. Histone deacetylases (HDAC) are enzymes that regulate gene transcription. Their actions have been examined in the development of multiple disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The use of HDAC inhibitors (HDACIs), as potential therapeutic agents against disease progression has yielded...
- Intelligence profiles and adaptive behaviors of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and developmental speech and language disordersby Wen-Yuan Jin on January 26, 2023
CONCLUSION: Our study expanded insights regarding intelligence profiles and adaptive behaviors of children with HFASD and DSLDs. Moreover, this study made breakthroughs in discovering positive correlations between IQs and adaptive functions in the two neurodevelopmental disorders.
