We have developed a novel stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) imaging platform to visualize various biomolecules at resolution beyond the traditional diffraction limit of optical microscopy. Applying super-resolution deconvolution algorithm, Adam based Pointillism Deconvolution (A-PoD), hyperspectral SRS images, we can measure nanoscopic distributions these molecules in cells. In this study, showcase application A-PoD for images lipids, protein, unsaturated lipid, and saturated lipids rat olfactory bulbs under hypoxia. The analysis result shows distinct lipid glomeruli hypoxia control rats. This approach capability revealing molecular composition metabolic activities.

Neurodegenerative diseases (ND) are characterized by the accumulation of aggregated proteins. The glymphatic system, through its rapid exchange mechanisms between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial (ISF), facilitates movement metabolic substances within brain, serving functions akin to those peripheral lymphatic system. This emerging waste clearance mechanism offers a novel perspective on removal pathological in ND. article elucidates recent discoveries regarding system updates relevant concepts model. It discusses potential roles ND, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), multiple atrophy (MSA), proposes as therapeutic target for these conditions.

Rationale: Hydrocephalus is a substantial complication after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or intraventricular (IVH) that leads to impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation.Recently, brain meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) were shown serve as critical drainage pathways for CSF.Our previous studies indicated the degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) ICH/IVH alleviates hydrocephalus.However, mechanisms by which NET exerts beneficial effects in hydrocephalus remain unclear.Methods: A mouse model following IVH was established infusing autologous blood into both wildtype and Cx3cr1 -/-mice.By studying features processes model, we investigated contribution mLVs NETs development progression secondary IVH.Results: This study observed widespread presence neutrophils, fibrin IVH, alleviated injury.Importantly, improved CSF enhancing recovery endothelial cells (LECs).Furthermore, our showed activated membrane protein CX3CR1 on LECs IVH.In contrast, repair promoted ameliorated knockdown -/-mice.Conclusion: Our findings participate injury contribute acute LEC thrombosis.CX3CR1 key molecule NET-induced damage thrombosis, mLV dysfunction exacerbates injury.NETs may be target preventing obstruction IVH.

Brain vascular health appears to be critical for preventing the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and slowing its progression. ALS patients often demonstrate cardiovascular risk factors commonly suffer from cerebrovascular disease, with evidence pathological alterations in their small cerebral blood vessels. Impaired brain has detrimental effects on motor neurons: endothelial growth factor levels are lowered ALS, which can compromise cell formation integrity blood–brain barrier. Increased turnover neurovascular unit cells precedes senescence, which, together pericyte alterations, further fosters failure toxic metabolite removal. We here provide a comprehensive overview pathogenesis impaired how novel magnetic resonance imaging techniques aid detection. In particular, we discuss patterns supply cortex number branches anterior middle arteries acting as marker resistance resilience against downstream events ALS. outline certain interventions adapted patient needs capabilities have potential mechanistically target microvasculature towards favorable patterns. Through this strategy, aim guide approaches management better understanding pathophysiology.

Abstract In the aging process and central nervous system (CNS) diseases, functions of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are impaired. Alterations in MLVs have been observed aging-related neurodegenerative brain tumors, even cerebrovascular disease. These findings reveal a new perspective on CNS disorders provide promising therapeutic target. Additionally, recent neuropathological studies shown that exchange soluble components between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interstitial (ISF) drain metabolites, cellular debris, misfolded proteins, immune cells from CSF into deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLNs), directly connecting with peripheral circulation. Impairment dysfunction lymphatics can lead to accumulation toxic proteins brain, exacerbating progression neurological disorders. However, for many causal relationship changes is not fully clear.

Abstract White matter hyperintensity (WMH) represents a critical global medical concern linked to cognitive decline and dementia, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, humans are directly demonstrated that high WMH burden correlates with delayed drainage of meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) glymphatic pathway. Additionally, longitudinal cohort study reveals dysfunction predicts progression. Next, in rat model WMH, the presence impaired lymphangiogenesis is confirmed, followed by elevated microglial activation white demyelination. Notably, enhancing through adeno‐associated virus delivery vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) mitigates gliosis Conversely, blocking mLVs VEGF‐C trap strategy exacerbates these changes. The findings highlight role pathway aggravating brain injury, providing potential novel for prevention treatment.
