Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection, which has a high morbidity and mortality. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been proved to improve the outcome of sepsis by regulating immunity and metabolism, but its specif...
The degeneration of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons disrupts the neural control of natural behavior, such as walking, posture, and gait in Parkinson's disease. While some aspects of motor symptoms can be managed by DA replacement therapies, others res...
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are linked to neuroinflammation, a key factor in hypertension, but their causal relationship is underexplored. This study aims to investigate whether hypertension is a risk factor for PND, identify related...
Social aversion is a key feature of numerous mental health disorders, yet we lack adequate behavioral tools to interrogate social aversion in model systems. Here, we developed a behavioral task-selective access to unrestricted social interaction (SAU...
Previous studies have suggested a potential correlation between obesity and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aimed to elucidate pathogenic pathways connecting obesity and IPF and identify diagnostic biomarkers for obesity-related pulmo...
Animal behavior is crucial for understanding both normal brain function and dysfunction. To facilitate behavior analysis of mice within their home environments, we developed DeepEthoProfile, an open-source software powered by a deep convolutional neu...
Advances in in vivo Ca imaging using miniature microscopes have enabled researchers to study single-neuron activity in freely moving animals. Tools such as Minian and CalmAn have been developed to convert Ca visual signals to numerical data, collecti...
Innovative identification technologies for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have expanded the scope of stem cell biology. Clinically, the functional quality of HSCs critically influences the safety and therapeutic efficacy of stem cell therapies. Howe...
OBJECTIVE: Bupropion, a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, is widely used as an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid. At high doses, it also inhibits pancreatic β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, inducing insulin secretion. ...
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) brain injury, a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disabilities, severely affects the metabolically active and neurogenic hippocampus. To investigate its acute effects and identify drug targets for early therapeutic w...
