Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) refers to nervous system damage caused by perinatal hypoxia, which is the major cause of long-term neuro-developmental disorders in surviving infants. However, the mechanisms still require further investigation. In this study, we found that the butan...
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is essential for central nervous system homeostasis, but most current in vitro models lack structural and functional fidelity. We developed a physiologically relevant human neurovascular unit microfluidic chip (hNVU-on-a-chip) incorporating brain microvascular endoth...
Lipids in the brain play a crucial role as structural and signaling molecules, accounting for approximately 60% of the brain’s dry weight. Several lipid classes exhibit concentration profile differences between humans and other species, including closely related primates, with the most pronounced...
The molecular heterogeneity of brain metastases hampers therapeutic development for cures. To address this unmet and urgent need, we constructed a comprehensive multi-omic, single cell, and spatially resolved atlas of 1,032 pan-cancer brain metastases, identifying four robust molecular subtypes ...
Schizophrenia is a common mental illness. It is a complex disorder with many symptoms and cognitive impairments. Despite extensive study, the molecular mechanisms of this disease are still unknown. Present time studies on the lipid composition of the human brain are extremely fragmented. Of the p...
INTRODUCTION: The absolute quantitation of lipids at the lipidome-wide scale is a challenge but plays an important role in the comprehensive study of lipid metabolism.
OBJECTIVES: We aim to develop a high-throughput quantitative lipidomics approach to enab...
The gut-brain axis facilitates two-way communication between gut inflammation and psychiatric comorbidities associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we examined the neuroprotective effects of the neuropeptide substance P (SP) on colitis. Taking into account the interaction...
