Neuron Regeneration Weekly Digest: Microglial Dysfunction in Stroke, Immune Tolerance in MS, and Nerve Regeneration

by J Carter | Sep 5, 2026 | Uncategorized

The nervous system’s response to injury and disease depends on a balance between inflammation, immune regulation, and repair. Recent studies highlight different ways researchers are trying to improve that balance. In stroke, blocking the inflammatory protein eCIRP...

Neuron Regeneration Weekly Digest: Neuroprotection Advances in Stroke, Childhood Dementia, and ALS

by J Carter | Aug 29, 2026 | Uncategorized

Protecting neurons may require different strategies depending on the disease, but these studies share a common goal: targeting the processes that drive neurological damage. In cerebral ischemia, β-hydroxybutyrate reduced brain injury in rats by limiting inflammation...

Neuron Regeneration Weekly Digest: New Neuroprotective Strategies for Tau Aggregation, Brain Injury, and Parkinson’s Disease

by J Carter | Aug 22, 2026 | Uncategorized

The brain can be harmed by abnormal protein buildup, traumatic injury, and progressive neuron loss. Three recent studies explore different conditions but share a common theme: protecting the brain may depend on strengthening natural defenses and limiting damaging...

Neuron Regeneration Weekly Digest: Microglial Inflammation, Brain Injury Immune Remodeling, and LRRK2-Driven Synaptic Function

by J Carter | Aug 15, 2026 | Uncategorized

The brain’s response to disease and injury depends on a complex interaction between inflammation, immune activity, and the health of neuronal connections. In multiple sclerosis, researchers identified the FLAP/LTB4 pathway in microglia as a potential target for...
