The Cross-Talk Between the Peripheral and Brain Cholesterol Metabolisms by Ilinca Savulescu-Fiedler, Luiza-Roxana Dorobantu-Lungu, Serban Dragosloveanu, Serban Nicolae Benea, Christiana Diana Maria Dragosloveanu, Ana Caruntu, Andreea-Elena Scheau, Constantin Caruntu, Cristian Scheau

“…Cholesterol is an essential element for the development and normal function of the central nervous system. While peripheral cholesterol is influenced by liver metabolism and diet, brain cholesterol metabolism takes place in an isolated system due to the impermeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). …”

Decoding mechanisms and protein markers in lung-brain axis by Shiqian Huang, Yuxi Zhou, Haipeng Ji, Tianhao Zhang, Shiya Liu, Lulin Ma, Daling Deng, Yuanyuan Ding, Linlin Han, Shaofang Shu, Yu Wang, Xiangdong Chen

“…Specifically, we highlight the role of the vagus nerve in modulating the central nervous system response to pulmonary stimuli; Additionally, the regulatory function of the immune system is underscored, with evidence suggesting that lung-derived immune mediators can traverse the blood-brain barrier, induce neuroinflammation and cognitive decline; Furthermore, we discuss the potential of lung microbiota to influence brain diseases through microbial translocation and immune activation; Finally, the impact of hypoxemia is examined, with findings indicating that it can exacerbate cerebral injury via oxidative stress and impaired perfusion. …”
