Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in various cancers. Hsa_circ_0008832 (circFBXO7) is a circRNA generated from the second exon of the human F-box only protein 7 (FBXO7). Mouse circFbxo7 is a circRNA generated from the second exon of mouse F-box only protein 7 (Fbxo7).

Article Synopsis
  • The study identifies a new type of plaque in Alzheimer's disease called "sorfra" plaques, which are associated with abnormal protein aggregation and tau pathology in the brain.
  • Researchers found that intraneuronal sortilin aggregation is linked to granulovacuolar degeneration and increases in older adults, particularly those with different forms of tauopathy and Alzheimer's.
  • The findings suggest that these sortilin aggregates may indicate a response to aging and stress that disrupt normal protein handling in neurons, potentially leading to further neurodegeneration.

Objectives: Major infectious disease has become a serious threat to people's health worldwide. As the world's largest healthcare workforce and the core forces fighting against the epidemic, nurses are on the frontline of this battle. A number of ethical issues have given rise to numerous concerns that have largely affected nurses in different ways as they respond to the epidemic.

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is important for multiple cognitive functions. We sort to establish a minimal or non-invasive radiation approach to ablate AHN using guinea pigs as an animal model. I seeds with different radiation dosages (1.

Doublecortin (DCX) is transiently expressed in new-born neurons in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ) related to adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb (OB) and hippocampal formation. DCX immunoreactive (DCX+) immature neurons also occur in the cerebral cortex primarily over layer II and the amygdala around the paralaminar nucleus (PLN) in various mammals, with interspecies differences pointing to phylogenic variation. The tree shrews () are phylogenetically closer to primates than to rodents.

Shank3 is a postsynaptic scaffolding protein of excitatory synapses. Mutations or variations of are associated with various psychiatric and neurological disorders. We set to determine its normal expression pattern in the human brain, and its change, if any, with age and Alzheimer's disease (AD)-type β-amyloid (Aβ) and Tau pathogenesis.

Dystrophic neurites (DNs) are found in many neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) specifically, senile plaques containing silver-stained DNs were already described in the original literature defining this disease. These DNs could be both axonal and dendritic in origin, while axonal dystrophy relative to plaque formation has been more extensively studied.
