And for better therapies, we need a better understanding of the process that leads to NIH, VSMC proliferation, and vascular injury.

Key Points: 
  • And for better therapies, we need a better understanding of the process that leads to NIH, VSMC proliferation, and vascular injury.
  • A group of researchers from Korea, led by Professor Yun Hak Kim of Pusan National University, set out to find answers.
  • It is via these pathways that PCK2 and its gene regulate VSMC proliferation after vascular injury, the team reported.
  • And given the findings of our study, we believe this enzyme can also be targeted to prevent arterial re-stenosis after stent placement and improve outcomes of vascular injury treatment."

Scallop-derived Plasmalogens Enhance Memory and Learning in Mice: the Mechanism Elucidated

Tuesday, September 6, 2022

Of particular note is that scallop-derived plasmalogens abundantly contain DHA-rich plasmalogens, thereby having higher functionality.

Key Points: 
  • Of particular note is that scallop-derived plasmalogens abundantly contain DHA-rich plasmalogens, thereby having higher functionality.
  • Key findings are as follows:
    Oral administration of scallop-derived plasmalogens increased hippocampal plasmalogens and thus enhanced memory and learning in mice, which was proved by the Morris Water Maze Test (a test of spatial learning) and the Novel Object Recognition Test (a test of recognition memory).
  • Reduction of hippocampal plasmalogens promoted learning and memory loss along with a decrease in memory-related gene expression.
  • This study has elucidated the mechanism underlying the effect of scallop-derived plasmalogens on memory and learning.
