Neuroinflammation is an inflammatory response formed in the nervous system under conditions such as infection, injury, metabolic stress, abnormal protein deposition, or immune imbalance. Its core lies in the dynamic imbalance among microglia, astrocytes, peripheral immune cells, the blood-brain ...
Apolipoproteins (Apos) are important protein components of lipoprotein particles. They participate in the transport of triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and lipid-soluble molecules, and determine the interactions between lipoproteins and receptors, enzymes, and transport proteins.
