Azerbaijan Medical Journal

The Azerbaijan Medical Journal (AMJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access monthly publication dedicated to advancing medical science and clinical practice through the dissemination of high-quality, original research. The Journal aims to serve as a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share innovative findings, critical reviews, and evidence-based insights that contribute to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.

AMJ welcomes submissions across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines, including but not limited to:

  • • Internal Medicine and its subspecialties
  • • Surgery and surgical innovations
  • • Pediatrics and neonatology
  • • Obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive health
  • • Public health, epidemiology, and global health
  • • Medical education and health policy
  • • Pharmacology and therapeutics
  • • Diagnostic imaging and laboratory medicine
  • • Emerging infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness
  • • Translational and interdisciplinary medical research
  • • Dental health

The Journal particularly encourages contributions from early-career researchers, multidisciplinary teams, and authors from underrepresented regions. All manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure scientific integrity, methodological soundness, and relevance to contemporary medical challenges.We invite authors worldwide to submit original articles, review papers, case reports, brief communications, and study protocols that align with the Journal’s mission of promoting excellence, equity, and accessibility in medical scholarship.

Senolytic-Induced Clearance of Senescent Astrocytes Mitigates Neurovascular Unit Deterioration in Post-COVID-19 Cognitive Impairment

Author(s): Dr. Elena Volkov, Dr. Thomas Müller

Abstract: Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) frequently manifest as persistent cognitive deficits, yet underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain elusive. We demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces cellular senescence in cortical astrocytes through p16INK4a/p21Cip1 pathway activation, triggering blood-brain barrier breakdown and synaptic pruning. Administration of the senolytic combination dasatinib plus quercetin (D+Q) in a hamster model of long COVID selectively elimi...

Phage Therapy Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms in Cystic Fibrosis: A Personalized Bacteriophage CocktAIl Approach Guided by Host-Pathogen Genomics

Author(s): Dr. Benjamin Foster, Dr. Amara Osei, Dr. Klaus Weber

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms represents the leading cause of morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). We report a precision phage therapy protocol utilizing a cocktail of four lytic bacteriophages (ΦF1-ΦF4) selected based on patient-specific bacterial genotyping and CRISPR-spacer analysis. In a 24-month prospective cohort of 45 CF patients with multidrug-resistant infections, nebulized phage administration reduced bacterial load by 3.5 log₁₀ CFU/mL and improved forc...

Optogenetic Modulation of Cardiac Autonomic Ganglia: A Closed-Loop Intervention for Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmias

Author(s): Dr. Yuki Tanaka, Dr. Rajesh Pate

Abstract: Pharmacological management of refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains inadequate. We present a translational study employing optogenetic stimulation of intrinsic cardiac ganglia via channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) expression delivered through cardiotropic AAV6 vectors. In a porcine ischemic cardiomyopathy model, light-emitting diode (LED) arrays integrated into a bioabsorbable epicardial patch enabled real-time, closed-loop vagomimetic stimulation triggered by arrhythmia detection algo...

Spatial Transcriptomic Mapping of the Tumor-Immune Microenvironment in Immunotherapy-Resistant Melanoma Reveals Fibroblast-Mediated T-cell Exclusion

Author(s): Dr. Isabella Rossi, Dr. Michael Chang, Dr. Nadia Hussein

Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance in metastatic melanoma involves complex stromal-immune crosstalk. Utilizing spatial transcriptomics (10x Genomics Visium) and multiplex ion beam imaging (MIBI) of 120 patient biopsies, we identified therapy-resistant tumor regions characterized by collagen-dense extracellular matrix produced by CXCL12-expressing cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These CAFs established physical barriers excluding CD8+ T-cells from tumor nests while recruiti...

Mitochondrial Transplantation from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Reverses Cellular Bioenergetic Failure in Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Author(s): Dr. James Liu, Dr. Priya Sharma

Abstract: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and ATP depletion. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that transplantation of healthy, respiration-competent mitochondria isolated from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived renal tubular cells restores bioenergetic capacity in injured kidneys. Intra renal arterial injection of autologous platelet-derived mitochondria coated with Pep-1 cell-penetrating peptide in a murine cecal ligation and ...
