Beyond Reality Avoidance: Unraveling the Paradox of Escapism Through Self‐Monitoring and Autonomy Mechanisms for Consumers' Life Satisfaction

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Paradox of Escapism, exploring how the act of escaping reality can evolve from a short‐term avoidance strategy to a mechanism for self‐regulation and enhanced life satisfaction. Employing five rigorous, multimethod investigations, including qualitative interviews and sentiment analysis (Study 1), Structural Equation ...

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Developing the Dopamine D3 Receptor (D3R) Antagonist, (R)‐VK4‐116, as a Non‐Opioid Medication for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a major global health challenge, and currently approved treatments (methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) are all opioid receptor‐targeting drugs with limitations in access, adherence, stigma, and use in polysubstance use disorders. Because the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is enriched in limbic brain regions

Therapeutic Impact of GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists on Parkinson's Disease: A Scoping Review

open access: yesNeurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT No disease‐modifying treatment exists for Parkinson's disease (PD). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) have gained attention as promising candidates for neuroprotection, given documented expression of GLP‐1 receptors within the central nervous system and the contribution of brain insulin resistance to dopaminergic ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Chronic high‐altitude exposure and intracerebral hemorrhage: A novel perspective from the vascular‐immune‐neuronal network

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Long‐term chronic high‐altitude hypobaric hypoxia increases susceptibility to ICH, particularly among migrant populations lacking EPAS1/SENP1 adaptive genetic variants relative to high‐altitude indigenous residents. Persistent hypoxia initiates blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, aberrant glial and immune activation, and progressive neuronal injury ...
