Molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress in stroke and cancer

Vishal Chavda, Bipin Chaurasia, Kanwaljeet Garg et al. · 17 Dec 2021

Oxidative stress is a silent participant in all chronic progressive pathology and degenerative disorders. Neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment are caused by increased imbalanced oxidative stress and down-regulated natural anti-oxidant combat mechanisms. Cancer is the end result of cell malfunction and the activation of tumour-specific genes, which are regulated by specific geneomolecular pathways. Acute stroke is…

Gamification and game-based education in neurology and neuroscience: Applications, challenges, and opportunities

Stefano Sandrone, Chad Carlson · 24 Feb 2021

The role of games in education continues to evolve. The integration of game-based learning with technology has become more common and contributed to a growing body of literature promoting the use of game-based learning techniques. However, it is only recently that these approaches have been applied to the realm of medical education. Here, we review…

Targeting Nrf2/HO-1 anti-oxidant signaling pathway in the progression of multiple sclerosis and influences on neurological dysfunctions

Shubham Upadhayay, Sidharth Mehan · 10 Aug 2021

The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) transcription factor/Hemoxygenase 1 (HO-1) is a primary regulator of essential cytoprotective responses in the brain. It activates the expression of various neuroprotective genes that code for anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying proteins. Downregulation of Nrf2/HO-1 anti-oxidant signaling is primarily responsible for developing multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurodegenerative diseases.…

The promising role of natural products in Alzheimer's disease

Michelle Melgarejo da Rosa, Luciclaudio Cassimiro de Amorim, João Victor de Oliveira Alves et al. · 16 Aug 2022

Experimental studies support the discussion of the use of bioactive products of natural products as novel antioxidants sources of neuroprotection against neurodegeneration. Natural antioxidants, such as polyphenols, vitamins, Ginkgo biloba, curcumin, and herbal formulations are thought to reduce oxidative stress and to have preventive or therapeutic potential in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Extensive oxidative stress and…

Hsp90 inhibition protects the brain microvascular endothelium against oxidative stress

Mohammad A. Uddin, Mohammad S. Akhter, Khadeja‐Tul Kubra et al. · 14 Jan 2021

The brain endothelium is an integral element of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Dysfunction of this formation due to increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) progresses the establishment of neurological disorders including stroke and traumatic brain injury. Heat shock protein 90 inhibitors are anti-inflammatory agents, and their activities are mediated, at least in part, by…
