The most common central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory disease is multiple sclerosis (MS), modeled using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit potent immunomodulatory capabilities, including the suppression of immune cell functions and anti-inflammatory cytokine production. Female C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks old) were divided into three groups: 1.

Introduction: Among the most frequent demyelinating autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) is multiple sclerosis. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is used as an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Berberine is an alkaloid found in some medicinal plants with anti-inflammatory effects.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most typical chronic inflammatory, autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) which leads to physical dysfunction and paralysis in patients. A commonly used animal model for this disease is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Daphnetin (7,8‑dihydroxycoumarin) has been reported to exert various pharmacological activities, such as being neuroprotective and anti‑inflammatory, together with having antioxidant, anticancer, and antiviral properties.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). Kombucha is produced by the fermentation of sugared tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts. This research was designed to reveal the therapeutic impact and the molecular and cellular processes determining the effect of kombucha on MS alleviation in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Dysregulation of helper T (Th) cell subsets has been contributed to the initiation and propagation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Different microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to control the development and functions of tumor-associated immune cells in ESCC. Here, we aimed to assess the IL-10, TGF-β, IFN-γ, and IL-17a-producing CD3+CD8- T cells in association whit miR-21, miR-29b, miR-106a, and miR-155 expression in ESCC patients.

Immunological disorders are among the main causes of recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSAs). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to modulate various aspects of immune responses. It seems that MSCs may improve the immunological conditions in immune-mediated RSA.

Article Synopsis
  • The research explored how maternal voluntary exercise affects BDNF levels in the hippocampus of rat offspring and its role in enhancing learning.
  • Pregnant rats were divided into sedentary and exercise groups, with those in the exercise group using a running wheel during pregnancy, and BDNF protein levels were measured in their pups afterward.
  • Results showed that exercise raised BDNF levels and improved learning acquisition in rat pups, but blocking BDNF action eliminated these learning benefits, indicating that while exercise aids learning, it doesn't impact memory retention.

Article Synopsis
  • Postnatal hypoxia significantly damages neurons in newborns, highlighting a need for effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
  • Pregnant rats that exercised with running wheels showed that their pups were less affected by chronic postnatal hypoxia, with a preserved number of neurons in key hippocampal regions.
  • This study suggests that maternal voluntary exercise during pregnancy can enhance neuron survival and increase blood vessel density in the hippocampus of rat pups, offering protective effects against hypoxia.

The beneficial effects of physical activity and exercise on brain functions such as improvement in learning and memory are well documented. The aim of this study was to examine the possible role of hippocampal angiotensin II receptors in voluntary exercise-induced enhancement of learning and memory in rat. In order to block the hippocampal angiotension II receptors, the animals received a single injection of latex microbeads for delivery of [Sar1 Thr8]-Angiotensin II into the hippocampus.
