Abstract

Therapeutic hypothermia is widely applied as a neuroprotective measure on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, several clinical trials regarding physical hypothermia encountered successive failures because of its side-effects in recent years. Increasing evidences indicate that chemical hypothermia that targets hypothalamic 5-HT1a has potential to down-regulate temperature set point without major side-effects. Thus, this study examined the efficacy and safety of 5-HT1a stimulation in PO/AH area for treating ICH rats. First, the relationship between head temperature and clinical outcomes was investigated in ICH patients and rat models, respectively. Second, the expression and distribution of 5-HT1a receptor in PO/AH area was explored by using whole-cell patch and confocal microscopy. In the meantime, the whole-cell patch was subsequently applied to investigate the involvement of 5-HT1a receptors in temperature regulation. Third, we compared the efficacy between traditional PH and 5-HT1a activation-induced hypothermia for ICH rats. Our data showed that more severe perihematomal edema (PHE) and neurological deficits was associated with increased head temperature following ICH. 5-HT1a receptor was located on warm-sensitive neuro...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
