Hippocampal neurons exhibit activation of both the conventional transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs) and the non-canonical soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) as sources of cyclic AMP (cAMP). These two cAMP sources play crucial roles in mediating signaling pathways downstream of CRHR1 in neuronal and neuroendocrine contexts. In this study, we investigate the involvement of both cAMP sources in the molecular mechanisms triggered by CRHR2α.

Peripheral nerve regeneration depends on close interaction between neurons and Schwann cells (SCs). After nerve injury, SCs produce growth factors and cytokines that are crucial for axon re-growth. Previous studies revealed the supernatant of SCs exposed to nuclear magnetic resonance therapy (NMRT) treatment to increase survival and neurite formation of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in vitro.

Article Synopsis
  • Adult neurogenesis is the process where new neurons are formed from neural progenitor cells, potentially aiding in repairing damaged neurons and circuits.
  • The study focuses on a compound called A5, which has shown strong ability to induce neurogenesis in neural stem/progenitor cells.
  • Transcriptome analysis revealed that A5 primarily increases genes linked to neurogenesis while decreasing genes associated with the cell cycle, suggesting its role in promoting neural repair.

Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) induced neuronal loss and brain atrophy contribute significantly to long-term disabilities. Brain extracellular matrix (ECM) associated chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycans promote neural stem cell (NSC) maintenance, and CS hydrogel implants have demonstrated the ability to enhance neuroprotection, in preclinical sTBI studies. However, the ability of neuritogenic chimeric peptide (CP) functionalized CS hydrogels in promoting functional recovery, after controlled cortical impact (CCI) and suction ablation (SA) induced sTBI, has not been previously demonstrated.

Neural differentiation is triggered by the activation of multiple signaling pathways initiated by various neurotrophic factors. An elucidation of these mechanisms is anticipated to facilitate the prevention of diseases and the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Alternative small-molecule inducers for neuroscience studies are required instead of protein-based reagents for more efficient and convenient experiments.
