Background and Purpose— Mononuclear phagocytes are highly plastic cells that assume
diverse phenotypes in response to microenvironmental signals. The phenotype-specific roles …

Objective Recent evidence suggests that functional deficiency in regulatory T cells (Tregs),
an innate immunomodulator, exacerbates brain damage after cerebral ischemia. We …

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advances in oxidative stress research,
particularly in the context of ischemic brain injury. Oxidative stress in ischemic tissues …

Current understanding on the mechanisms of brain injury and neurodegeneration highlights
an appreciation of multicellular interactions within the neurovascular unit (NVU), which …

Herein, an effective and novel strategy has been designed to increase electrochemical reaction
active sites in Ni/NiO nanoparticles prepared by optimizing the annealing temperature of …

Immune and inflammatory responses actively modulate the pathophysiological processes of
acute brain injuries such as stroke. Soon after the onset of stroke, signals such as brain-…

Preconditioning is a phenomenon in which brief episodes of a sublethal insult induce robust
protection against subsequent lethal injuries. Preconditioning has been observed in …

Delayed thrombolytic treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) may
exacerbate blood–brain barrier breakdown after ischaemic stroke and lead to lethal …

Background and Purpose— Oligodendrogenesis is essential for white matter repair after
stroke. Although agonists of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptors γ confer …

Aim To examine the job satisfaction of nurses who are caring for older adults in healthcare
settings in Shanghai, and to explore the underlying factors in order to explain and predict …
