We used double immunocytochemistry for α-synuclein and markers of sympathoexcitatory neurons, oligodendrocytes, iron metabolism, and autophagy to study putative neuropathological interactions in multiple system atrophy. We focused in the rostral ventrolateral medulla as a prototype vulnerable region. We found that loss of C1 neurons and oligodendrocytes related to glial cytoplasmic inclusion accumulation, downregulation of iron transport, and upregulation of autophagy and ferritin expression in these area.

Metabolic acidosis and sudden infant death syndrome: overlooked data provides insight into SIDS pathogenesis.
World J Pediatr
December 2024
Adelaide Medical School, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia, 5006, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Recent research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) suggests that metabolic acidosis and sepsis are significant factors, challenging the traditional brain-centered theories that have dominated the field for decades.
- Analysis of various studies indicates that infections might play a crucial role, as many SIDS risk factors are tied to infection, which could lead to organ failure and respiratory issues in infants.
- The paper advocates for including specific metabolic tests (like pH and bicarbonate levels) in autopsies of unexpected child deaths to better understand the underlying causes of SIDS.
Anxiety-like Characteristics, Forepaw Thermal Sensitivity Changes and Glial Alterations 1 Month After Repetitive Blast Traumatic Brain Injury in Male Rats.
Ann Neurosci
August 2024
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI, USA.
Background: Many military service members are victims of repetitive blast traumatic brain injuries (rbTBI) and endure diverse altered psychological and behavioural conditions during their lifetime. Some of these conditions include anxiety, post-traumatic stress and pain. Thus, this study attempts to fill the knowledge gap on enduring behavioural and neuroinflammatory marker alterations 1 month after rbTBI.

Department of Medicine and Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA.
Background: Klotho, encoded by the gene, is an anti-aging and neuroprotective protein. KL-VS heterozygosity (KL-VS) is hypothesized to be protective against the accumulation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathological hallmarks (amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau).
Objective: We examine whether being positive for Aβ (A+) or tau (T+), or A/T joint status [positive for Aβ (A + T-), tau (A-T+), both (A + T+) or neither (A-T-)] vary by KL-VS and whether serum klotho protein levels vary based on A+, T+, or A/T status in a cohort enriched for AD risk.
Paclitaxel alters the microvascular network in the central and peripheral nervous system of rats with chemotherapy-induced painful peripheral neuropathy.
J Peripher Nerv Syst
December 2024
Experimental Neurology Unit, School of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy.
Background And Aims: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN), with paraesthesia, numbness, dysesthesia and neuropathic pain ranks among the most common dose-limiting toxicity of several widely used anticancer drugs. Recent studies revealed the microvascular angiogenesis as a new important actor, beside peripheral neurons, in the neurotoxicity and neuropathic pain development and chronicisation. The aim of this work is to elucidate the role of vascular alterations in CIPN.

Complex Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Group, VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology, University of Antwerp, Campus Drie Eiken, Universiteitsplein 1, 2610, Antwerp, Belgium.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Besides neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, a wide range of co-morbid neuropathological features can be observed in AD brains. Since AD has a very strong genetic background and displays a wide phenotypic heterogeneity, this study aims at investigating the genetic underpinnings of co-morbid and hallmark neuropathological lesions.
