Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of disability among young adults in both civilian and military settings contributing to a high burden on healthcare systems (Badhiwala et al., 2019). Sequel of TBI, even mild injuries, include motor and sensory dysfunction, neurocognitive decline, neuropsychiatric complications, as well as increased risk of neurodegenerative and neurovascular events such as Alzheimer\'s disease and stroke (Breunig et al., 2013; Burke et al., 2013; Li et al., 2017).

Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and binds to two major classes of receptors, the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Unlike AMPA receptors that are imme

Following cell death, DNA can be released into the blood plasma and other body fluids in the form of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). These DNA fragments are typically ~167 bp in length, corresponding to the length of DNA wrapped around one nucleosome core (147 bp)
Increased lifespan is one of society\'s greatest achievements, but this longevity increases the prevalence of diseases of aging, such as neurological disorders. Globally, neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and the second leading
The etiology of Alzheimer\'s disease is far from being completely understood. Genetic approaches have helped in this matter and have greatly supported the view that the β-amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) could be at the center of gravity of the patholog

Previous studies on the mechanisms of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) have mainly focused on the pathophysiological changes within a single injury site. However, recent studies have indicated that within the central nervous system, PNI can lead to changes i
In the 1950s to 1970s, the research on Parkinson\'s disease (PD) and its treatment had mainly been focused on the Nigro-striatal dopamine (DA) neurons as the major site of degeneration in this disease. It contributed to the search for drugs that restore
Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is one of the hallmarks of common optic neuropathies (Weinreb et al., 2014). Glaucoma, the most common optic neuropathy, is characterized by degeneration of RGCs. Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a serious ocul
