Ependymocytes control cerebrospinal fluid flow to the peripheral organs through periaxonal pathway

Xinyu Li, Siman Wang, Dianjun Zhang, Yuliang Feng, Yingyu Liu, Weiyang Yu, Shu Li, Lulu Cui, Tibor Harkany, Alexei Verkhratsky, Maosheng Xia, Baoman Li

The paper identifies a novel mechanism by which ependymocytes regulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the central nervous system to peripheral organs via the periaxonal pathway, mediated by serotonin signaling and F-actin polymerization.

Iatrogenic Iron Promotes Neurodegeneration and Activates Self-protection of Neural Cells against Exogenous Iron Attacks

Maosheng Xia, Shanshan Liang, Shuai Li, Ming Hua Ji, Beina Chen, Manman Zhang, Chengyi Dong, Binjie Chen, Wenliang Gong, Gehua Wen, Xiaoni Zhan, Dianjun Zhang, Xinyu Li, Yuefei Zhou, Dawei Guan, , Baoman Li

This study investigates the impact of iron from metal implants on neural cells, finding that iron accumulation affects neuronal function and may increase neurodegeneration risk.

Astrocytes express DMT1 and transferrin receptors, which transport iron thus activating Ca2+ signalling: possible role in neuroprotection against iron overload?

Maosheng Xia, Wenzheng Guan, Ming Hua Ji, Shuai Li, Zexiong Li, Beina Chen, Manman Zhang, Shanshan Liang, Binjie Chen, Wenliang Gong, Chengyi Dong, Gehua Wen, Xiaoni Zhan, Dianjun Zhang, Xinyu Li, , Baoman Li

This study investigates how iron ions affect calcium signaling in astrocytes through DMT1 and TFR, revealing mechanisms of neuroprotection against iron overload.
