Neuroinflammation induced by secretion of acetylated HMGB1 from activated microglia in hippocampi of mice following chronic cold exposure.

TL;DR: Microglial activation, accompanied by activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and loss of Nissl bodies, was observed in mouse hippocampal tissue following cold exposure, and it is speculated that these phenomena are mediated by the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κBs pathway and closely associated with acetylation ofHMGB1 in the hippocampus.

Osthole-Loaded Nanoemulsion Enhances Brain Target in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease via Intranasal Administration

TL;DR: In this article, an OST nanoemulsion (OST-NE) was fabricated according to the pseudoternary phase diagram method, which was generally used to optimize the prescription in light of the solubility of OST in surfactants and cosurfactants.

Iron Metabolism in Aging and Age-Related Diseases

TL;DR: This review has briefly summarized the role of the metabolic process of iron in the body, discussed recent developments of iron metabolism in aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases, and explored some iron chelators as treatment strategies for those disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative Stress and Cognitive Alterations Induced by Cancer Chemotherapy Drugs: A Scoping Review.

TL;DR: In this paper, N-acetylcysteine, gamma-glutamyl cysteine ethyl ester, polydatin, caffeic acid phenethyl ester and 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate sodium (MESNA) are used in clinical trials with the aim of reducing the oxidative stress and cognitive alterations, among other probable central nervous system changes elicited by chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Journal ArticleDOI

The Amyloid Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease: Progress and Problems on the Road to Therapeutics

TL;DR: It has been more than 10 years since it was first proposed that the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be caused by deposition of amyloid β-peptide in plaques in brain tissue and the rest of the disease process is proposed to result from an imbalance between Aβ production and Aβ clearance.

Free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions and human disease

TL;DR: Attention is focussed on the ROS/RNS-linked pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and ageing.

Targeting cancer cells by ROS-mediated mechanisms: a radical therapeutic approach?

TL;DR: It is argued that modulating the unique redox regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells might be an effective strategy to eliminate these cells.

The effect of vitamin E and beta carotene on the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers in male smokers

TL;DR: No reduction in the incidence of lung cancer among male smokers is found after five to eight years of dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol or beta carotene, and this trial raises the possibility that these supplements may actually have harmful as well as beneficial effects.
