Microglia are non-electrogenic immune cells that respond rapidly to protect the central nervous system (CNS) from infections, injuries, or other forms of damage. Microglia mitochondria are essential for providing the requisite energy resources for immune regulation. While fluctuations in energy metabolism are regulated by mitochondria and are reflected in the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), there remains a lack of innovation in microglia-centric tools that capitalize on this.

Cochlear ribbon synapses between sensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are vulnerable to rapid and primary damage and/or loss due to noise overexposure. Such damaged ribbon synapses can repair spontaneously in mouse and guinea pig. However, the mechanisms for synaptic repair are unclear.

Introduction: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by the infiltration of immune cells into the salivary glands. The re-establishment of salivary glands (SGs) function in pSS remains a clinical challenge. Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-functional restorative abilities.

Introduction: The physiologic derangements imposed by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can result in complications such as postoperative delirium. We aim to validate a rodent survival model of CPB demonstrating a systemic inflammatory response and hypothesize that this contributes to post-CPB delirium.
Methods: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to three groups: 1) Sham peripheral surgical cannulation, 2) CPB followed by acute phase harvest, or 3) CPB followed by 24-h survival.

Homocysteine (Hcy) is produced through methionine transmethylation. Elevated Hcy levels are termed Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and represent a risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to explore the impact of mild HHcy and the neuroprotective effects of ibuprofen and rivastigmine via immunohistochemical analysis of glial markers (Iba-1 and GFAP).
