Diosmetin alleviates TNFα-induced liver inflammation by improving liver sinusoidal endothelial cell dysfunction.

Sterile inflammation contributes to the development of many liver diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a key cytokine driving liver inflammation primarily through pro-inflammatory activation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). The knowledge of whether modulating LSEC activation can alleviate liver inflammation is scarce.

Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) regulates synaptic transmission through presynaptic receptors in nerve terminals, and its physiological roles are of clinical relevance. The cellular sources and synaptic targets of CB1-expressing terminals in the human cerebral cortex are undefined. We demonstrate a variable laminar pattern of CB1-immunoreactive axons and electron microscopically show that CB1-positive GABAergic terminals make type-2 synapses innervating dendritic shafts (69%), dendritic spines (20%) and somata (11%) in neocortical layers 2-3.

Social hierarchies are a common form of social organization across species. Although hierarchies are largely stable across time, animals may socially ascend or descend within hierarchies depending on environmental and social challenges. Here, we develop a novel paradigm to study social ascent and descent within male CD-1 mouse social hierarchies.

Preserving the balance of metabolic processes in endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is crucial for optimal vascular function and integrity. ECs are metabolically active and depend on aerobic glycolysis to efficiently produce energy for their essential functions, which include regulating vascular tone. Impaired EC metabolism is linked to endothelial damage, increased permeability and inflammation.

Characterizing astrocyte-mediated neurovascular coupling by combining optogenetics and biophysical modeling.

J Cereb Blood Flow Metab

January 2025

Neuronal Mass Dynamics Lab, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Florida International, University, Miami, FL, USA.

Vasoactive signaling from astrocytes is an important contributor to the neurovascular coupling (NVC), which aims at providing energy to neurons during brain activation by increasing blood perfusion in the surrounding vasculature. Pharmacological manipulations have been previously combined with experimental techniques (e.g.
