Abstract We aimed to evaluate the neurotoxicity and mechanisms of anesthetics propofol in hESC-derived neurons. Cell apoptosis in hESC-derived neurons’ exposure to 4, 10 and 20 μg/mL propofol for 6 h was assessed using terminal deoxynucleotidyl...

Abstract Isoflurane is a commonly used inhalational anesthetic that can induce neurotoxicity, while Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has significant neuroprotective effects. In our study, we explored the effects of Dex on isoflurane-induced neurotoxicity through the TLR2/NF-κB...
