Neuroimmunometabolism describes how neuroimmune cells, such as microglia, adapt their intracellular metabolic pathways to alter their immune functions in the CNS. Emerging evidence indicates that neurons also orchestrate the microglia mediated immune response through neuro-immune crosstalk perhaps through metabolic signalling. However, little is known about how the brain's metabolic microenvironment and microglial intracellular metabolism orchestrate the neuroimmune response in healthy and diseased brains.

Targeting the signaling protein, cAMP-Protein Kinase A (CPKA), which facilitates appressorium development and host penetration, this study explores the potential inhibitory effects of natural compounds. Virtual screening, molecular docking and text mining approaches were used to find the nimonol and curcumin that inhibit the CPKA protein.

Structural imaging can identify multiple and/or noncausative abnormalities. Molecular imaging of glucose transporters offers the opportunity to localize metabolically active sites.

Conventional treatments often face challenges related to poor bioavailability and short residence times on the ocular surface. In recent years, in-situ gels prepared using different natural gums including gellan gum has been investigated as a viable means of improving ocular medication delivery.
