(1. In traumatic brain injury, TBI) Secondary inflammatory response and axonal degeneration induced by TBI is considered as a key risk factor of the early onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, a detailed investigation of the mechanisms underlying TBI is thus important to identify effective treatments and improve the disease outcome.
(2. In glioblastoma, GBM) GBM not only exhibits abnormalities in its own molecular mechanisms but also actively manipulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) by recruiting and hijacking various non-malignant cell types. Although macrophages, neurons, and microglia are well-established for their pivotal roles in shaping the TME and promoting malignant behaviors in GBM, numerous other cell types are also present in intratumoral and peripheral areas and their roles still await comprehensive exploration.
