including astrocytes and oligodendrocytes [26]. Many of the functions once performed by embryonic microglia are then performed by these glial cells. This implies that there is a change in microglial functions that helps to mature neuronal activities. Interestingly, microglial...
recycling through the fusion-fission process, and removal of the damaged mitochondria through mitophagy [42]. One puzzle in our data is that given the reduced expression of mitochondrial genes and the increase in damaged mitochondria with age, we might predict that we would observe a reduction...
Once toxins have been mobilized from cells into the circulation, they must exit the body. They may exit via the urine (kidneys), stool (colon), sweat (skin), or breath (lungs). Elimination may be improved through these organs by various means. However, arguably the most important organ of...

elimination of endothelial cell inflammation or activation is of clinical relevance. In this review, we provided a comprehensive perspective on the pivotal role of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in aggravating oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction and the possible underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, we...
