Therapeutic and immunomodulatory functions of the translocator protein in Alzheimer's disease by Fairley, Lauren H.

“…Lastly, treatment with TSPO ligands attenuates mitophagy impairments and modulates mitochondrial dynamics in neuroblastoma cells expressing mutant tau and APP. Taken together, these findings suggest that TSPO plays a neuroprotective role in AD pathology and highlights its therapeutic potential as a drug target for AD.…”

Deactivation of the parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampus after fear-like behaviour following electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray of rats by Temel, Yasin., Blokland, Arjan., Lim, Lee Wei.

“…We found that fear-like behaviour did not change the number of c-Fos immunoreactive and parvalbumin-positive cells. However, a remarkable decrease of c-Fos and parvalbumin co-localization was shown in the hippocampal regions when compared to non-stimulated sham animals. …”

Intestinal piezo1 promotes neuroinflammation to facilitate oligodendrocyte ferroptosis post-traumatic brain injury by Jun, Ding Zhi, Liang, Wu, Xiong, Chen Zheng, Mao, Zeng Rui, Wang, Shangyuan, Zhang, Tang Ming

“…By constructing a TBI model with Piezo1 gene knockout, we assessed the activation status of microglia in the brain, the differentiation process of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. The study identified a series of inflammatory factors significantly associated with TBI, including C-C motif chemokine 19, C-X-C motif chemokine 5, and interleukin-5. …”

Tropism of subgroup J avian leukosis virus as detected by in situ hybridization by Arshad, S. S., Smith, L. M., Howes, K., Russell, P. H., Venugopal, K., Payne, L. N.

“…Using immunohistochemical detection of the viral group-specific antigen (Gag) we have previously demonstrated that the induction of myeloid leukosis by ALV-J is associated with viral tropism for myelomonocytic cells. In this paper we describe an in situ hybridization (ISH) technique using digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled probes for detecting RNA transcripts in tissues from chickens infected with avian leukosis viruses (ALV) of subgroups J (HPRS-103 strain) and A (RAV-1 strain). …”

Control of microstructure architecture of polycaprolactone electrospun scaffolds by Rajendran, R., Ham, W. J., Low, C. Y., Alexander, C. H. C., Koh, C. T.

“…Tissue engineering is an area in which new tissues or organs are replicated in a promising way to replace damaged tissues or organs caused by accidents and medical conditions. For cells to grow, a proper environment provided by scaffolds can imitate the composition of that original human extra cellular matrix (ECM). …”

Hydrodynamic spreading in 2 & 3-streams flow. by Tan, Kian Chong.

“…One of the applications of hydrodynamic focusing is flow cytometry, where the effect of narrowing of the central flow (sample fluid) creates a single file of particles (eg. cells). Under the right conditions, mixing between the sample flow and the surrounding fluid flow (sheath flow) can be kept to a minimal and analysis of the sample fluid can be made. …”
