Deubiquitylating Enzyme OTUB1 Facilitates Neuronal Survival After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Via Inhibiting NF-κB-triggered Apoptotic Cascades.

The deubiquitylase OTU domain-containing ubiquitin aldehyde-binding protein 1 (OTUB1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. However, the molecular mechanism by which OTUB1 participates in the pathogenesis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains elusive. In the present study, we established an autologous whole blood fusion-induced ICH model in C57BL/6 J mice.

Intracarotid Transplantation of Skin-Derived Precursor Schwann Cells Promotes Functional Recovery After Acute Ischemic Stroke in Rats.

Skin-derived Precursor Schwann cells (SKP-SCs) have been reported to provide neuroprotection for the injured and dysmyelinated nervous system. However, little is known about SKP-SCs on acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to explore the efficacy and the potential mechanism of action of SKP-SCs on AIS in a rat ischemic stroke model.
