Peptidylarginine deiminases and extracellular vesicles: prospective drug targets and biomarkers in central nervous syste...
Published in Neural regeneration research
Peptidylarginine deiminases are a family of calcium-activated enzymes with multifaceted roles in physiological and pathological processes, including in the central nervous system. Peptidylarginine deiminases cause post-translational deimination/citrullination, leading to changes in structure and function of a wide range of target proteins. Deiminat...
Functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury via sustained growth factor delivery from mineral-coated microparticle...
...Published in Neural regeneration research
The gold standard for treating peripheral nerve injuries that have large nerve gaps where the nerves cannot be directly sutured back together because it creates tension on the nerve, is to incorporate an autologous nerve graft. However, even with the incorporation of a nerve graft, generally patients only regain a small portion of function in limbs...
Axonal remodeling of the corticospinal tract during neurological recovery after stroke.
Published in Neural regeneration research
Stroke remains the leading cause of long-term disability. Hemiparesis is one of the most common post-stroke motor deficits and is largely attributed to loss or disruption of the motor signals from the affected motor cortex. As the only direct descending motor pathway, the corticospinal tract (CST) is the primary pathway to innervate spinal motor ne...

Mechanism underlying treatment of ischemic stroke using acupuncture: transmission and regulation.
Published in Neural regeneration research
The inflammatory response after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion is an important cause of neurological damage and repair. After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, microglia are activated, and a large number of circulating inflammatory cells infiltrate the affected area. This leads to the secretion of inflammatory mediators and an inflammatory cascade that...
New solutions for old challenges in glaucoma treatment: is taurine an option to consider?
Published in Neural regeneration research
Glaucoma is a range of progressive optic neuropathies characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell loss and visual field defects. It is recognized as a leading cause of irreversible blindness affecting more than 70 million people worldwide. Currently, reduction of intraocular pressure, a widely recognized risk factor for glaucoma development,...
Preventive electroacupuncture reduces cognitive deficits in a rat model of D-galactose-induced aging.
...Published in Neural regeneration research
Acupuncture can reduce cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease. However, whether electroacupuncture can prevent or alleviate the cognitive deficits in animal models of aging remains poorly understood. Studies have shown that disordered epigenetic modifications play a critical role in age-related cognitive decline. Therefore, we hypothesized that ...
