Cerebral infarction is a common type of stroke with high incidence and disability rates, and most patients experience varying degrees of cognitive impairment. The manifestations and severity of post-infarction cognitive impairment are influenced by multiple interacting factors, and its pathophysiological mechanisms are highly complex, involving pericyte degeneration, excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), overproduction of glutamate, and overactivation of autophagy. After cerebral infarction, abnormal pericyte function activates neuroinflammation and facilitates the entry of inflammatory mediators into the brain; detachment of pericytes from blood vessels disrupts the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member-1 (ACSS1) catalyzes the ligation of acetate and coenzyme A to generate acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria to produce ATP through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We recently generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic knock-in mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q), which structurally and biochemically mimics an acetylated lysine. ACSS1 enzymatic activity is regulated, at least in part, through the acetylation of lysine 635 in mice (lysine 642 in humans), a Sirtuin 3 deacetylation target.

Neuronal hyperexcitability in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), driven by oxidative stress, plays a crucial role in stress-induced hypertension (SIH). While resveratrol (RSV) is known for its antioxidant properties, its effects on RVLM neurons in SIH remain unclear. We investigated this using an SIH rat model exposed to electric foot shocks and noise stimulation for 15 days.

Background: A stroke is characterized by a sudden disruption in blood flow to the brain. According to WHO statistics, stroke is the second most common cause of death. Its pathophysiology involves complex mechanisms: oxidative stress, inflammation, cytotoxicity and neuronal cell death.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large DNA virus of the Asfarviridae family that causes a fatal hemorrhagic disease in domestic swine and wild boar. Infections with moderately virulent strains predominantly result in a milder clinical course and lower lethality. As target cells of ASFV, monocytes play a crucial role in triggering T-cell-mediated immune defense and ASF pathogenesis.
