This study links LDL-C to cerebral pericyte dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke through clinical and experimental evidence, showing oxidative stress and type-I interferon signaling changes.

This study examines the expression and function of taste receptors in glioblastoma, finding that multiple TAS2Rs and TAS1R subunits are active in tumor cells and may influence cancer microenvironment interactions.

This study shows BDNF supports pericyte and vascular health in aging brains by activating Akt signaling to increase PDGFRβ and CD13 expression.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which FTY720 reduces MS-like disease in an animal model through B12-TCN2-CD320 signaling in astrocytes.

The paper investigates how systemic inflammation affects the expression of enzymes involved in 7α,25-OHC synthesis and degradation in brain microvascular cells, revealing species-specific differences between mice and humans.
