Copper ions bind to biomolecules (e.g., peptides and proteins) playing an essential role in many biological physiological pathways the human body. The resulting complexes may contribute initiation of neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, bacterial viral or act as therapeutics. Some compounds can chemically damage macromolecules initiate development pathogenic states. Conversely, a number these have antibacterial, antiviral, even anticancer properties. One most significant current discussions Cu biochemistry relates mechanisms positive negative actions based on generation reactive oxygen species, including radicals that interact with DNA molecules. This review aims analyze various peptide–copper mechanism their action.

Abstract Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) is commonly caused by vascular injuries in cerebral large small vessels a key driver of age-related decline. Severe VCID includes post-stroke dementia, subcortical ischemic multi-infarct mixed dementia. While acknowledged as the second most common form after Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounting for 20% cases, AD frequently coexist. In VCID, vessel (cSVD) often affects arterioles, capillaries, venules, where arteriolosclerosis amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are major pathologies. White matter hyperintensities, recent infarcts, lacunes presumed origin, enlarged perivascular space, microbleeds, brain atrophy neuroimaging hallmarks cSVD. The current primary approach to cSVD treatment control risk factors such hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking. However, causal therapeutic strategies have not been established partly due heterogeneous pathogenesis this review, we summarize pathophysiology discuss probable etiological pathways focusing on hypoperfusion/hypoxia, blood–brain barriers (BBB) dysregulation, fluid drainage disturbances, inflammation define potential diagnostic targets

Increasing evidence supports implication this prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, such Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The mechanisms neurotoxicity center around increased quantities that are produced brain, their cause, and, most importantly, pathological metabolic cascades created. These lead to formation neuronal toxic substances impair neurons’ structure on multiple levels. purpose review present main causes well important pathophysiological triggered by could help explain part complex picture diseases develop targeted therapies.

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is an important mechanism to ensure adequate blood supply active neurons in the brain. NVC damage can lead chronic impairment of neuronal function. Diabetes characterized by high sugar and considered risk factor for cognitive impairment. In this review, we provide fMRI evidence diabetic patients with decline. Combined exploration major mechanisms signaling pathways NVC, discuss effects hyperglycemia on cellular structure signaling, including key receptors, ion channels, intercellular connections. Studying these diabetes-related changes cell will help us understand underlying causes behind diabetes-induced early decline, ultimately helping identify most effective drug targets treatment.

Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that involved in actively modulating synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter homeostasis, and neuroinflammatory responses. More importantly, they coordinate neuronal activity cerebral blood flow (CBF) what is known as neurovascular coupling (NVC).

Neonatal anesthesia, while often essential for surgeries or imaging procedures, is accompanied by significant risks to redox balance in the brain due relatively weak antioxidant system children. Oxidative stress characterized concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are elevated beyond what can be accommodated defense system. In neonatal this has been proposed a contributing factor some negative consequences (e.g., learning deficits and behavioral abnormalities) associated with early anesthetic exposure. order assess relationship between anesthesia oxidative stress, we first review mechanisms action common agents, key pathways produce majority ROS, main antioxidants. We then explore possible immediate, short-term, long-term neonatal-anesthesia-induced stress. large body literature describing evident during immediately following anesthesia. Moreover, our suggests short-term pathway temporally limited effect on manifest years later altered development neurons neurovascular interactions.

Neuronal nitric oxide (NO) synthase (nNOS), a Ca 2+ dependent enzyme, is expressed by distinct populations of neocortical neurons. Although neuronal NO well known to contribute the blood flow increase evoked neural activity, relationships between nNOS neurons activity and vascular responses in awake state remain unclear. We imaged barrel cortex awake, head-fixed mice through chronically implanted cranial window. The indicator GCaMP7f was selectively using adenoviral gene transfer cre mice. Air-puffs directed at contralateral whiskers or spontaneous motion induced transients 30.2 ± 2.2% 51.6 3.3% neurons, respectively, local arteriolar dilation. greatest dilatation (14.8 1.1%) occurred when whisking simultaneously. individual dilation showed various degrees correlation, which strongest whole neuron ensemble examined. also found that some became active immediately prior dilation, while others were activated gradually after dilatation. Discrete subsets may either initiation maintenance response, suggesting previously unappreciated temporal specificity role neurovascular coupling.
