Puerarin‐Loaded Macrophage‐Derived Exosomes for Experimental Atherosclerosis

ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (AS) remains a leading global health concern. In this study, we investigated a macrophage‐derived exosome‐based delivery system for puerarin (Pue). The isolated vesicles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, partic...

Acupoint hot compress for labor-pain management: a randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial

Background Non-pharmacological pain management approaches, including acupoint hot compress, may provide valuable support for women dealing with pain during the latent stage of labor, but the evidence supporting this effect is limited. We investigated whether acupoint hot compress...

State-dependent reconfiguration failure of the basal forebrain-cortical gradient in Parkinson’s disease with freezing of gait

Accumulating evidence implicates cholinergic dysfunction in freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Given the basal forebrain (BF) provides the primary cholinergic input to the cortex, elucidating BF-cortical connectivity and its dynamic reconfiguration during motor c...
