OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the role of estrogen in providing cardioprotective benefits to premenopausal women, examining how hormonal differences between sexes influence the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in women.
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a microreticular structure formed after neutrophil death, have rece...
Approximately 30%-40% of epilepsy patients do not respond well to adequate anti-seizure medications (ASMs), a condition known as pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy remains an intractable issue in the clinic. Its ...
The patch clamp technique has become the gold standard for neuron electrophysiology research in brain science. Brain slices have been widely utilized as the targets of the patch clamp technique due to their higher optical transparency compared to a l...
HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVE: Rodent models of epilepsy can help with the search for more effective drug candidates or neuromodulatory therapies. Yet, preclinical screening of candidate options for anti-epileptic drugs (AED) using rodent models may require h...
The dynamics of neuron populations commonly evolve on low-dimensional manifolds. Thus, we need methods that learn the dynamical processes over neural manifolds to infer interpretable and consistent latent representations. We introduce a representatio...
UNLABELLED: This study aims to explore the regulatory role of cuproptosis in carotid intimal hyperplasia (IH), providing new insights into its pathophysiological mechanisms and potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
INTRODUCTION: The unbound brain-to-plasma partition coefficient (K) is an essential parameter for predicting central nervous system (CNS) drug disposition using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. K values for specific compounds ar...
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have investigated the role of macrophages in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
PURPOSE: We present RetOCTNet, a deep learning tool to segment the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and total retinal thickness automatically from optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in rats following retinal ganglion cell (RGC) injury.
