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

ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Potential of Ginkgo biloba Extract to Intervene in Chronic Inflammation‐Related Diseases
Chronic inflammation is a pathological mechanism underpinning many diseases. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is well known for its anti‐inflammatory property. GBE and its active constituents have been shown to attenuate pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, suppress nuclear factor kappa B activation, restore redox homeostasis, and modulate disease‐relevant

Smuggling Sovereignty: Trade, Transgression, and State Authority
ABSTRACT Global supply chains are saturated with transgressions—corruption, smuggling, document forgery, and other practices that blur the line between legality and illegality. States do not merely endure these practices; they actively shape the conditions for them, producing the very illegal systems they then claim to police.
