Baicalein Inhibits Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury through SIRT6-Mediated FOXA2 Deacetylation to Promote SLC7A11 Expression.

Ischemic stroke (IS) poses a serious threat to patient survival. The inhibition of ferroptosis can effectively alleviate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, suggesting potential targets in the ferroptosis pathway for the treatment of IS. In this study, MCAO/R mice and OGD/R-induced HT22 cell were constructed.

Neurologic music therapy for non-fluent aphasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: The efficacy of neurologic music therapy (NMT) techniques for the treatment of non-fluent aphasia has been widely accepted by the rehabilitation medical community. However, consensus on which dimensions of speech function can be improved by NMT techniques and standardized intervention dosage remains elusive. This study aimed to provide evidence regarding the efficacy of NMT in improving speech function and explore the optimal intervention dose.

Bone marrow stromal cells attenuate oxygen and glucose deprivation followed by re‑oxygenation‑induced brain microvascular endothelial cell injury.

Ischemic stroke is a severe threat to the health of older individuals. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been implicated in ischemic stroke. Urokinase‑type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its specific receptor (uPAR) are associated with the pathological process of ischemic stroke.

NGF/TrkA promotes the vitality, migration and adhesion of bone marrow stromal cells in hypoxia by regulating the Nrf2 pathway.

Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transplantation is a treatment strategy for ischemic stroke (IS) with great potential. However, the vitality, migration and adhesion of BMSCs are greatly impaired due to the harsh environment of the ischemic area, which affects the therapeutic effects. Herein, we aimed to investigate the roles of nerve growth factor (NGF) in regulating cell behaviors of BMSCs in IS.
