Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has become the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Given the pathogenesis of AD is unclear, there is currently no drug approved to halt or delay the progression of AD. Therefore, it is pressing to explore new targets and drugs for AD. In China, polyphenolic Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years in clinical application, and no toxic effects have...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is traumatic central nervous system damage resulting in a motor and sensory dysfunction that usually causes a severe and permanent paralysis. Today, the treatment of SCI principally includes surgical treatment, pharmacological treatments and rehabilitation therapies, which target secondary events determining only some clinical improvements in patients. SCI is still a worldwide...
INTRODUCTION: Hereditary muscle disorders are a genetically heterogeneous group of rare diseases with overlapping phenotypes causing difficulties in establishing a diagnosis. Genetic testing isthe only reliable tool to confirm a prompt diagnosis.Genetically confirmed diagnosisisrequired forthe future targeted therapies and the genetic counselling.

Excessive excitation or loss of inhibitory neurotransmission has been closely related to epileptic activity. Somatostatin (SST) and Neuropeptide Y (NPY) are members of endogenous neuropeptides which are recognized as important modulator of classical neurotransmitter, distributed abundantly in mammalian central nervous system. Abnormal expression of these two neuropeptides evidenced in some epileptic...
Conditioned medium obtained from B104 neuroblastoma cells (B104CM) has been used widely for inducing oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) from neural precursor cells (NPCs). Our previous studies have demonstrated that E16 rat spinal cord-derived NPCs could be induced to differentiate into OPCs using a combination of B104CM and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Here we report the development...
