Astrocytes play an essential role in the modulation of blood-brain barrier function.
Neurological diseases induce the transformation of astrocytes into a neurotoxic A1 …

Background Ischemic stroke induced matrixmetallo-proteinase-9 (MMP-9) upregulation,
which increased blood-brain barrier permeability. Studies demonstrated that mesenchymal …

Combinational applying photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have
been extensively studied, while simultaneously exciting with a single wavelength NIR laser …

Optogenetics has been used to regulate astrocyte activity and modulate neuronal function
after brain injury. Activated astrocytes regulate blood-brain barrier functions and are thereby …

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS) regulates neural activity in different brain
regions in humans and animals. However, the role of ultrasound stimulation in modulating …

Background Healthy plasma therapy reverses cognitive deficits and promotes
neuroplasticity in ageing brain disease. However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve …

The electronic transport properties of zigzag phosphorene nanoribbon (ZPNR)
homostructures are investigated using density functional theory calculations and the …

Numerical investigations of the leading-edge sawtooth spoiler and slanted aft wall were
performed to explore the mechanisms of the suppression of pressure fluctuations in an open …

An imbalance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in tumor cells can result in the
accumulation of lipid peroxide (LPO) which could induce ferroptosis. Moreover, elevated …

Background Low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) has been developed to
enhance neurological repair and remodelling during the late acute stage of ischaemic stroke …
