Aim And Methods: Estradiol (E2) is reported to attenuate β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation and slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study explored the beneficial effect of E2 in AD using histological examination and electrophysiological recording technique in AD model mice created by intracerebroventricular injection of β-amyloid 25-35 (Aβ 25-35).
Results: Infusion of Aβ 25-35 reduced the number of newborn neurons in the 2nd week after birth, a critical period for neurite growth, and impaired high-frequency stimulation-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) induction in perforant path-granular synapses of hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Administration of E2 from the 2nd to 4th week after cell birth in Aβ 25-35-mice ameliorated the impairment of newborn neurons and LTP induction in DG. Acute application of E2 failed to increase the newborn neurons and rescue LTP induction in the DG of Aβ 25-35-mice.
Conclusions: The effect of E2 in Aβ 25-35-impaired LTP induction depends on its neuroprotection improvement.

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) II is a cortical malformation characterized by cortical architectural abnormalities, dysmorphic neurons, with or without balloon cells. Here, we systematically explored the pathophysiological role of the GATOR1 subunit NPRL3 variants including a novel mutation from iPSCs derived from one FCD II patient. Three FCD II children aged 0.

Objectives: To observe the reparative effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) transplantation on white matter injury (WMI) in neonatal rats and explore its mechanism through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway mediated by microglial cells.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 days, were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation,WMI, and hUC-MSC (=18 each). Fourteen days after modeling, hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes in the white matter, and immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression level of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1).
Congenital extraventricular neurocytoma with atypical features in a 3-day-old neonate.

Extraventricular neurocytoma (EVN) is a rare neuronal tumor with a marked tendency towards ganglionic or glial differentiation. Although EVN commonly occurs in young adults, congenital cases are extremely rare, and standardized therapeutic strategies remain undetermined. The presence of atypical features such as increased mitotic activity on histological analysis is correlated with a higher rate of recurrence and poor prognosis.

Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) with neonatal or early infantile onset are usually severe and differ in symptoms, complications, and treatment options. The establishment of a diagnosis relies on the combination of clinical examination, morphological analyses of muscle biopsies, and genetic investigations. Here, we re-evaluated and classified a unique collection of 535 muscle biopsies from NMD infants aged 0-6 months examined over a period of 52 years.

Background: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been associated with increased risks for growth disturbance, disrupted imprinting as well as cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms and whether they are a result of the ART procedures or the underlying subfertility are unknown.
Methods: We performed genome-wide DNA methylation (EPIC Illumina microarrays) and gene expression (mRNA sequencing) analyses for a total of 80 ART and 77 control placentas.
