Study on the Role and Mechanism of Plasma Exosome microRNAs in Cognitive Impairment in First-episode Schizophrenia

Sponsor: Tianjin Anding Hospital

Summary

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness characterised by positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive symptoms. In recent years, an increasing number of doctors and scholars have focused on cognitive symptoms; however, the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment remain unclear. Recently, exosome research methods have provided new avenues for investigation. This study applies exosome research methods to first-episode, drug-naive schizophrenia patients to explore gene expression changes associated with cognitive impairment and gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment. By integrating basic research with clinical findings, we aim to further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients, identify potential intervention targets, and provide insights for future drug development.
