Abstract
The Wnt signaling pathway is one of the crucial signaling pathways that regulate many aspects of central nervous system. In this review, we tempt to depict an overall picture of the Wnt signaling with its multitude of roles in schizophrenia. If the Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia as we suggest, a better understanding of the Wnt pathway might contribute to developing new and more effective tools for diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia.
Keywords: Adenomatous polyposis coli, glycogen synthase kinase-3, schizophrenia, Wnt signaling pathway.

Big Data Mining for CNS Diseases Analysis and Treatment: Focusing on Drug Target Discovery
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, represent a major global health challenge. Despite significant research efforts, the complexity and multifactorial nature of these diseases hinder the development of effective treatments. The rise of big data analytics and high-throughput technologies ...read more
Heart and Brain Axis Targets in CNS Neurological Disorders
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in delving deeper into the complex interplay between the heart and brain. This fascination stems from a growing recognition of the profound influence each organ holds over the other, particularly in the realm of central nervous system and neurological disorders. The purpose ...read more
Innovative Therapeutics in Demyelinating CNS- Disorders: Immune Modulation, Antibody Therapy, Kinase Inhibition and Remyeliation Strategies
Demyelinating disorders, particularly multiple sclerosis represent chronic disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration within the central nervous system. This thematic issue will present a comprehensive overview of novel therapeutic advances targeting these processes. In addition to dissecting the roles of innate versus adaptive immunity, antibody therapies, and tyrosine kinase ...read more
Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent and Treat Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
More than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide. By 2050, the population affected by dementia will exceed 139 million individuals. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a pre-dementia stage, also known as prodromal dementia, affecting older adults. MCI emerges years before the manifestation of dementia but can be avoidable and ...read more
