Systemic millue regulate neuronal regeneration in the adult central nervous system

Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) inflammation causes severe neurological dysfunction, such as motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. One of the reasons for the developing disease depends on the damage of neuronal network, a predominant feature of many CNS diseases. Therefore, protection and/or regeneration of damaged neuronal network after injury is considered to be useful for treating neurological diseases; however, the mechanism of protection and regeneration of neuronal network is not fully elucidated. In this paper, I describe our recent findings about the mechanism that disrupt and regenerate neuronal network by using animal model of multiple sclerosis. I also introduce the key molecules which is involved in inflammation, neurovascular interaction, and systemic regulation. These findings have a potential to contribute develop the new therapies for treating neurological disease.
