In the present study, a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus was established by continuous peritoneal injection of streptozotocin. Following intragastric perfusion of sericin for 35 days, blood glucose levels significantly reduced, neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 region decreased, hippocampal phosphorylated Akt and nuclear factor kappa B expression were enhanced, but Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 associated death promoter expression decreased. Results demonstrated that sericin can reduce hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in a rat model of diabetes mellitus by regulating abnormal changes in the Akt signal transduction pathway.

NDUFA11 may be the disulfidptosis-related biomarker of ischemic stroke based on integrated bioinformatics, clinical samples, and experimental analyses.

Background: Programmed cell death plays an important role in neuronal injury and death after ischemic stroke (IS), leading to cellular glucose deficiency. Glucose deficiency can cause abnormal accumulation of cytotoxic disulfides, resulting in disulfidptosis. Ferroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy inhibitors cannot inhibit this novel programmed cell death mechanism.

Objectives: Anemoside B4 (AB4) is a multifunctional compound with anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, antiviral, and autophagy-enhancing effects. However, the role of AB4 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) remains obscure. This experiment aims to investigate the pharmacological effects of AB4 in CIRI.

Objective: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein and tufted astrocytes. Developing treatments for PSP is challenging due to the lack of disease models reproducing its key pathological features. This study aimed to model sporadic PSP-Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) using multi-donor midbrain organoids (MOs).

Gamma radiation is known to induce several detrimental effects on the nervous system. The hippocampus region, specifically the dentate gyrus (DG) and subventricular zone (SVZ), have been identified as a radiation-sensitive neurogenic niche. Radiation alters the endogenous redox status of neural stem cells (NSCs) and other proliferative cells, especially in the hippocampus region, leading to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and cell death.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe central nervous system disorder with limited treatment options. While autophagy plays a protective role in neural repair, its regulatory mechanisms in SCI remain unclear. Actin-like protein 6A (Actl6a) influences cell fate and neural development, yet its specific role in SCI repair is not well understood.
