Article Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving the loss of dopamine-producing neurons of the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies which contain high levels of α-synuclein. Although the causative factors of PD remain unclear, the progression of PD is accompanied by a highly localized inflammatory response mediated by reactive microglia. Recently, attention has focused on the relationship between α-synuclein and microglial activation. This review examines the role of α-synuclein on microglia in PD pathogenesis and progression, we also discuss the way of α-synuclein induced microglial activation.

Metabolic synergy between astrocytes and neurons is key to maintaining normal brain function. As the main supporting cells in the brain, astrocytes work closely with neurons through intercellular metabolic synergy networks to jointly regulate energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, synaptic transmission, and cerebral blood flow. This important synergy is often disrupted in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.

Purpose: Cardiac noradrenergic denervation visualized by meta-[I]iodobenzylguanidine ([I]MIBG) imaging supports the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, meta-[F] fluorobenzylguanidine ([F]MFBG) PET demonstrated favorable imaging characteristics compared with [I]MIBG scintigraphy for neuroendocrine tumors. We assessed [F]MFBG dosimetry and myocardial pharmacokinetics in healthy controls and PD patients.

Neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injuries (SCI) pose a significant burden on the healthcare system globally. Diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease precipitate cognitive, motor, and behavioral deficits. Parallelly, spinal cord injuries produce sensory and motor deficits, which are burdensome psychologically, socially, and economically.

With the continuous development of flexible sensors and flexible energy storage devices, gel materials with good flexibility, toughness, and tunable properties have attracted wide attention. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have an obvious advantage of thermal and chemical stability over water. Therefore, eutectogels can effectively solve the problem of insufficient stability of traditional hydrogels.
