Cellular and Molecular Mediators of Neuroinflammation in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease by Sandeep Vasant More, Hemant Kumar, In Su Kim, Soo-Yeol Song, Dong-Kug Choi

“…Although microglia forms the first line of defense for the neural parenchyma, uncontrolled activation of microglia may directly affect neurons by releasing various molecular mediators such as inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin [IL]-6, and IL-1β), nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Moreover, recent studies have reported that activated microglia phagocytose not only damaged cell debris but also intact neighboring cells. …”

Utilizing Python for numerical analysis of bioconvection in magnetized Casson-Maxwell nanofluid systems with gyrotactic microorganisms: An investigation of dominant factors by Amirali Shateri, Ali Mirzagoli Ganji, Payam Jalili, Bahram Jalili, Davood Domiri Ganji

“…Radiation (Ra = 0.5) and heat generation (Qm = 0.1) parameters enhance temperature profiles, raising the normalized temperature by 12 % at η=5. Due to reactive species consumption, higher chemical reaction rates (Kc = 0.1) and Schmidt number (Sc = 10) reduce concentration profiles by 18 % near the surface. …”

Gray matter volume and asymmetry in Broca's and Wernicke's area homologs in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) using a probabilistic region of interest approach by William D Hopkins, Muhammad A Spocter, Michele M Mulholland, Chet C Sherwood

“…Because of their roles in higher cognitive and linguistic function, there has been historical and contemporary interest in comparative studies on the morphology and cytoarchitectonic organization in Broca's and Wernicke's between primate species. One challenge to comparative morphological studies between human and nonhuman primates for Broca's and Wernicke's areas is the absence in homologous sulci used to define these regions. …”

Protective effects of Euphorbia heterophylla against testicular degeneration in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats in relation to phytochemical profile. by Ahmed M Nagy, Heba A Fahmy, Mohamed F Abdel-Hameed, Rehab F Taher, Alaa M Ali, Mohamed M Amin, Sherif M Afifi, Tuba Esatbeyoglu, Mohamed A Farag, Abdelsamed I Elshamy

“…Notably, this study identified isovitexin-C-hexoside, isorhamnetin-O-hexoside, diosmetin, and halfordin for the first time in Euphorbia species. Treatment with EH-EtOH effectively mitigated the damage caused by STZ, as evidenced by restored testosterone (T4) levels and antioxidant capacity, reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, improved testicular microcirculation, and inhibition of apoptosis in the testes.…”
