TL;DR

It is suggested that RTXMB, particularly in combination with MACT600, exerts potent neuroprotective effects against ALS-like pathology via modulation of MAPK signaling pathways and may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for ALS management.

Dimethyl fumarate ameliorates amyloid-beta generated cognitive deficits by inhibiting RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necroptosis signalling in rats.

The results indicate the cognitive improvement and neuroprotective effects of DMF in Aβ1-42 CE model by modulating the necroptosis signalling and suggest that the selective targeting of necroptosis process may open new treatment avenues for AD.

Formononetin Attenuates Seizure Severity and Cognitive Deficits in PTZ-Kindled Rats with Associated Changes in Oxidative Stress and P2 X 7/IL-1β/Glutamate Signalling Markers

It is suggested that FMNT attenuates PTZ-kindling-associated seizure severity and cognitive deficits, potentially through antioxidant effects and suppression of P2 X 7/IL-1β/glutamate-associated inflammatory signalling.

Melatonin ameliorates manganese-induced neurological deficits in mice by inhibiting TXNIP signaling-mediated neuroinflammation and microglial pyroptosis: Role of SIRT6.

Findings suggest that Mel mitigates Mn-associated hippocampal neuroinflammatory injury by partially restoring SIRT6-mediated epigenetic repression of Txnip and reducing TXNIP/NLRP3-driven microglial pyroptosis.

Norepinephrine modulates the microglial response and protects against MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease pathology through regulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

AIMS Norepinephrine (NE) deficiency is an early and prominent feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), but its specific contributions to pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to determine whether NE exerts neuroprotective effects in PD models through the modulation of autophagy and microglial activat...

Targeting the AMPK/SIRT1-NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis: Simvastatin, Ezetimibe, and Their Combination Attenuate 3-Nitropropionic Acid-Induced Striatal Neurodegeneration in Rats.

Collectively, Simvastatin and Ezetimibe attenuate 3-NP-induced striatal neurodegeneration, possibly through modulation of AMPK/SIRT1-associated neuroinflammatory and glial signaling pathways, warranting further evaluation in additional experimental models.
