Hypoxia-induced proliferation of neural stem cells has a crucial role in brain development. In the brain of , the optic lobe exhibits progressive hypoxia during larval development. Here, we investigate an alternative oxygen-sensing mechanism within this brain compartment, distinct from the canonical hypoxia signaling pathway mediated by HIF. Using genetic tools, immunostaining, and confocal microscopy, we demonstrate that the loss of the atypical soluble guanylyl cyclase (asGC) subunit , or the ectopic expression of in neural stem cells leads to increased optic lobe volume. We propose the existence of a link between cGMP signaling and neurogenesis in the developing brain.

Vitamin B, otherwise known as cobalamin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is obtained from animal derived dietary sources. Mutations in the genes that encode proteins responsible for cobalamin uptake, transport, or processing cause inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism, a group of disorders characterized by accumulation of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid, neurodevelopmental defects, ocular dysfunction, anemia, and failure to thrive. Mild to moderate craniofacial phenotypes have been observed but these phenotypes are not completely penetrant and have not been consistently recognized in the literature.

Background: It is well known that myelin disruption and neuroinflammation are early and distinct pathological hallmarks in multiple system atrophy (MSA) as well as in idiopathic Parkinson's disease and in other atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. The objective of this study was to assess the value of non-neuronal biomarker candidates that reflect myelin disruption and neuroinflammation.
Methods: Myelin basic protein (MBP) and the soluble form of TREM2 were quantified in a comprehensive movement disorder cohort from two different neurological centers, comprising a total of 171 CSF samples.
Unlabelled: Astrocytes play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis through functional gap junctions (GJs) primarily formed by connexin43 (Cx43). These GJs facilitate electrical and metabolic coupling between astrocytes, allowing the passage of ions, glucose, and metabolites. Dysregulation of Cx43 has been implicated in various pathologies, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired epilepsy.

Mitragynine is an "atypic opioid" analgesic with an alternative mechanism of action and a favorable side-effect profile. Our aim was to optimize the alkaloid extraction procedure from kratom leaves and to determine and isolate the most relevant compounds capable of penetrating the central nervous system. The PAMPA-BBB study revealed that mitragynine and its coalkaloids, speciociliatine, speciogynine, and paynantheine, possess excellent in vitro BBB permeability.

A boy, aged 14 years, was admitted due to recurrent cough and expectoration for more than 1 month, with aggravation and fever for 2 days. After admission, he presented with tachypnea and a significant reduction in transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and emergency chest CT examination showed large patchy exudation and consolidation of both lungs. The boy was given tracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation immediately, and his condition was improved after active symptomatic treatment.
