BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in the Trpm8 gene that encodes the cold receptor TRPM8 have been linked to protection against polygenic migraine, a disabling condition primarily affecting women. Noteworthy, TRPM8 has been recently found in brain areas...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, yet the underlying molec...
BACKGROUND: Automated whole-brain delineation (WBD) techniques often struggle to generalize across pre-clinical studies due to variations in animal models, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, and tissue contrasts. We developed a 3D U-Net neura...
Machine learning (ML) techniques are increasingly being used to improve disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the application of these computational approaches to the early diagnosis of age-related hearing loss (ARHL), the most common sensory def...
Sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe and life-threatening complication characterized by excessive inflammation and immune dysfunction. Macrophages play a central role in the pathogenesis of ALI, with dysregulated polarization and impair...
BACKGROUND: Mitophagy is a highly conserved cellular process in eukaryotic cells that selectively clears dysfunctional or damaged mitochondria through autophagy mechanisms to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. However, the role of mitophagy in the p...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular disturbances, including apoptosis, inflammation, and destabilization of neuronal connections. The transcription factor p53 plays a pivotal role in regulating cell fate followin...
Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of untreatable vision loss. In advanced cases, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell loss occurs alongside photoreceptor and choriocapillaris degeneration. We hypothesized that an RPE-patc...
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) lose their characteristic fenestrations and become capillarized during the progression of liver fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation can reverse this capillarization and reduce fibrosis, but...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Major depressive disorder (MDD) act as risk factors for each other, and the comorbidity of both significantly increases the all-cause mortality rate. Therefore, studying the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes with...
