NLRP3 Inflammasome in Neurological Diseases, from Functions to Therapies.

TL;DR: A series of promising therapeutic approaches that target theNLRP3 inflammasome signaling including anti-IL-1 therapy, small molecule NLRP3 inhibitors and other compounds are reviewed, however, these approaches are still experimental in neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

EPAC null mutation impairs learning and social interactions via aberrant regulation of miR-124 and Zif268 translation

TL;DR: It is shown that EPAC null mutation impairs long-term potentiation (LTP) and that this impairment is paralleled with the severe deficits in spatial learning and social interactions and is mediated in a direct manner by miR-124 transcription and Zif268 translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel mechanism of memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease mice via the degeneration of entorhinal–CA1 synapses

TL;DR: It is reported that the synaptic terminals of pyramidal neurons in the EC layer II (ECIIPN) directly innervate CA1 parvalbumin neurons (CA1PV) and are selectively degenerated in AD mice, which exhibit amyloid-β plaques similar to those observed in AD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) controls hepatic VLDL-triglyceride secretion in rats via the sympathetic nervous system.

TL;DR: It is reported that, in fasted rats, an intact hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and hepatic sympathetic innervation are necessary to maintain VLDL-TG secretion.
