Description

The abstract reports that circSCMH1 simultaneously promotes synaptic plasticity, vascular repair, neuroinflammation relief, and myelin formation, but provides no mechanistic explanation for these pleiotropic effects. Understanding these pathways is critical for optimizing therapeutic targeting and predicting potential side effects.
