    miR-506-3p Relieves Neuropathic Pain following Brachial Plexus Avulsion via Mitigating Microglial Activation through Targeting the CCL2-CCR2 Axis

    To investigate the function of miR-506-3p in brachial plexus avulsion-induced neuropathic pain, a total brachial plexus root avulsion model was produced in adult rats as well as IL-1β-treated motoneuron-like NSC-34 cells and the lipopolysaccharide-treated microglia cell line BV2 for in vivo and in vitro experiments.[Developmental Neuroscience]

    Abstract

    Kaemperfol Protects Dopaminergic Neurons by Promoting mTOR-Mediated Autophagy in Parkinson’s Disease Models

    The authors investigated whether kaempferol could protect dopaminergic neurons via autophagy and the underlying mechanisms using a MPTP/MPP+-stimulated Parkinson’s disease model.
