The Involvement of Long Non-coding RNA and Messenger RNA Based Molecular Networks and Pathways in the Subacute Phase of Traumatic Brain Injury in Adult Mice

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex injury with a multi-faceted recovery process. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are demonstrated to be involved in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. However, the roles of lncRNAs in long-term neurological deficits post-TBI are poorly understood. The present study depicted the microarray’s lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) profiles at 14 […]

Causal Relationships Between Osteoarthritis and Senile Central Nerve System Dysfunction: A Bidirectional Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

BackgroundThe relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and senile central nervous system dysfunctions (CNSDs), including Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and ischemic stroke (IS) has gradually attracted attention. At present, the causal relationship between OA and CNSD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the causal effects of CNSD and OA using Mendelian […]
