Acute central nervous system (CNS) injuries include stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Early brain injury is a main cause of disability and death for patients of stroke or traumatic brain injury. The mechanisms of early brain injury after stroke and trauma are complex, and remain poorly understood. Neuronal cell death in the acute phase of CNS injuries is a central pathological process, which determines the long-term neurological deficits and prognosis.
Nanomaterials from Renewable Resources for Emerging Applications details developments in nanomaterials produced from renewable materials and their usage in food and packaging, energy conservation, and environmental applications. • Introduces fundamentals of nanomaterials from renewable resources, including processing and characterization. • Covers nanomaterials for applications in food and packaging, including nanocellulose, lignin- and chitosan-based nanomaterials, and nanostarch. • Discusses applications in energy conservation, such as supercapacitors, electrolyte membranes, energy storage devices, and insulation. • Describes environmental uses such as water remediation and purification and oil spill clean-ups. • Highlights advantages and challenges in commercialization of green nanoparticle-based materials. Equally beneficial to researchers and professionals, this book is aimed at readers across materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, and related fields interested in sustainable engineering.
This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic " Novel Therapeutic Target and Drug Discovery for Neurological Diseases". Please see the first volume here. Neurological diseases represent heterogeneous disorders that involve complex pathological alterations with only a few effective treatments; therefore, there is a great need for the development of novel therapeutic targets and therapies. There are more than six hundred neurological disorders, including dementia, cerebrovascular diseases, mental illness, brain tumor, and infection-caused central diseases, all arising from disruption to the central nervous system. Researchers are attempting to identify promising targets and potential drug candidates from new biological techniques and pharmacological animal studies. Thus, novel target discovery and mechanism elucidation, as well as the development of small-molecule entities, natural compounds, and polypeptides for the treatment of neurological dysfunction, may offer exciting clues for novel therapeutic strategies to halt or mitigate the course of neurological diseases.

Provides important information from anatomy to pathophysiology and covers most neurological disorders that involve venous circulation. Venous circulation has not been extensively studied and we know relatively little about cerebral venous circulation. Venous circulation contributes to half of the brain circulation and about 70% of the blood in the brain is venous blood. Veins and venules play extremely important roles in brain circulation especially during pathologies such as brain edema, BBB disruption, elevation of intracranial pressure during and after ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke events, traumatic brain injury, neurodegerative disorders, in adults and newborns. Occlusion of veins or sinuses by thrombus, compression of veins and venules by tumor and edematous tissues, elevation of venous pressure during cranial hypertension, all lead to fatal insults such as venous infarction and hemorrhage.
