Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is one of the major forms of dementia,accounting for 60 to 80%of the cases of dementia,affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide,which is why it has become an object of great interest...
Different outcomes of astrocyte inflammatory signalling in injury and neurodegeneration:It is emerging that astrocytes have a significant impact on the neuronal network by modulating synaptic connections and neuronal...
The management of neurological disorders have huge and increasing human and economic costs. Despite this, there is a scarcity of effective therapeutics, and there is an extreme urgency for new and real treatments. In ...
Excitotoxicity is a process observed in many disease states by which an excessive synaptic excitation causes neuronal death, and is thought to be triggered by the extracellular accumulation of the excitatory neurotran...

Neuropathic pain,a type of pain arising after direct damage or disease of the nervous system,is often intractable and challenges the search of effective therapeutic strategies.In particular,neuropathic pain is a very ...
Glutamate(Glu)is the main excitatory amino acid in the brain and plays a pivotal role in many neurophysiological functions.Nevertheless,an excess and prolonged exposure to Glu determines the overactivation of glutam...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most devastating dis- eases affecting the life and health of aging population. Two hallmarks of AD are senile plaques and neurofibrillary tan- gles, and AD is well known for t...
BACKGROUND: Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a key link of exitotoxicity at the phase of cerebral ischemic injury. Because NMDAR is a main way to mediate internal flow of Ca2+ among glutamic acid...
