TL;DR

Mechanistically, it was found that phosphorylated STAT6 (pSTAT6) enhanced autophagy, which reduced the burden of senescent microglia and thereby ameliorated CSVD-induced VCI, providing insights into the potential of targeting the STAT6 pathway in VCI associated with CSVD.

Targeting Microglial HDAC3 Enhances Aβ Clearance and Neuroprotection in APP/PS1 Mice: A Ketogenic Diet‐Driven Strategy

Growing evidence suggests that impaired phagocytosis/autophagy and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3)‐mediated microglial activation contribute significantly to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis by promoting pathological protein aggregation. The ketogenic diet (KD) has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in AD, poten...

Mechanisms and therapeutic potential of microglia-regulated remyelination in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

White matter injury after chronic cerebral ischemia is characterized by demyelination and impaired remyelination, representing a major contributor to neurological deficits and cognitive impairment. With the accelerating global aging population, the burden of cerebral small vessel disease and vascular cognitive impairme...

Reduced microvascular coverage links a hypoxia-associated niche to microglial autophagic dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease

A “double-hit” model in which hypoxia-associated stress may amplify α-Syn-induced microglial dysfunction through HIF1A-linked metabolic remodeling and impaired autophagy-related protein handling is supported, which supports a “double-hit” model for advanced PD.

Neuroinflammation and vascular pathology in Alzheimer's Disease: The NRF2/HO-1 axis as a modulator of microglial phenotypes.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) frequently co-occurs with vascular pathology, and this overlap is increasingly recognized as a major driver of cognitive decline in mixed dementia and vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Disruption of the neurovascular unit (NVU) creates a perivascular microenvironment rich in in...

Astragaloside IV attenuates hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced endothelial senescence and vascular inflammation by modulating the NOTCH1/VCAM-1 axis

Objective Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression involves cerebral microvascular endothelial cell senescence induced by brain hypoperfusion, which contributes to blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. While Notch1 signaling is known to exacerbate endothelial senescence and neuroinflammation via vascular cell adhesion mol...
