Scientists believe that two non-neuron (or “glial”) cells that exist in the brain play a role in creating new myelin. The first is a glial cell called an astrocyte. Astrocytes monitor neuron axons for activity, and lots of repeat signals from a particular axon triggers the astrocyte to ...
and immune function. Research shows that Ligustilide has strong antispasmodic, antiasthmatic, and sedative effects, can improve microcirculation, relax smooth muscles, inhibit bacteria, and improve the body's immune regulatory function. It is a typical representative of phthalide compounds. It is ...

Interestingly, TSPs induce ultra- structurally normal synapses that are presynaptically active but post- synaptically inactive, indicating that it works in concert with other, as yet unidentified, astrocyte-derived signals to produce functional synapses. In vivo, TSP is concentrated in astrocytes and ...
(2021) recently identified a GMB-regulated anti-inflammatory TRAIL + /LAMP1 + astrocyte subtype [42]. Induction of this astrocyte subtype could be therapeutic for several neurological diseases. Similar therapeutic strategies could be applied to GMB-regulated microglial, neuronal, and ...

Cancer is an extraordinarily complex disease. Methods that are commonly used in physics can reduce the complexity of cancer to a manageable set of underlying principles and phenomena. In particular, Transport OncoPhysics views cancer as a disease of multiscale mass transport deregulation involving the...
The digestion of dietary protein is highly efficient. Proteolysis begins in a gastric stage, which triggers a significant stage of enzymatic (proteolytic) activity in the duodenum and jejunum sections of the small intestine. Deficiency in some of these stages can be reflected in an increase in pr...
