Mechanism of Nerve Regeneration after Ischemic Stroke Induced by Exercise Intervention by TENG Lili, ZHANG Mei, SONG Wenjing, ZHU Luwen

“…Following the IS, in order to cope with the loss of input from neurons in the infarction area induced by ischemia and hypoxia stimulation, the body will spontaneously start the self-repair mechanism and reorganize the neuronal functional connections and neural pathways in the brain. However, the complete recovery of neurological function is far from enough when relying on the self-repair and functional reconstruction of the body alone, and it is still necessary to maximize and strengthen this ability through effective clinical treatment. …”

MAP4 kinase-regulated reduced CLSTN1 expression in medulloblastoma is associated with increased invasiveness by Ece Sönmez, Shen Yan, Meng-Syuan Lin, Martin Baumgartner

“…Abstract De-regulated protein expression contributes to tumor growth and progression in medulloblastoma (MB), the most common malignant brain tumor in children. MB is associated with impaired differentiation of specific neural progenitors, suggesting that the deregulation of proteins involved in neural physiology could contribute to the transformed phenotype in MB. …”
