Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Schematic diagram of the core pathways of the liver‐brain axis in regulating AD. The liver regulates cerebral Aβ deposition, tau phosphorylation, and neuroinflammation through pathways such as metabolic detoxification (urea cycle, ketone body metabolism, glutathione antioxidant system), molecular secretion (APOE, CRP, FGF21, IGF‐1), and Aβ clearance ...

Genetic and epigenetic analysis of the serotonin 2A receptor in the context of cocaine abuse
Epigenetics, 2022 Despite more than 2 million American cocaine users monthly, there is no approved drug for treating cocaine use disorder. Cocaine use disorder has a multifactorial aetiology, including both genetic and environmental factors.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Narcolepsy type 1 is characterized by cataplexy, for which current treatments targeting monoaminergic, histaminergic, and GABAergic pathways may be ineffective or poorly tolerated. We report the case of a 34‐year‐old man with narcolepsy type 1, intolerant to standard therapies, who experienced marked and sustained cataplexy reduction with morning ...

A mechanism for the inhibition of neural progenitor cell proliferation by cocaine.
PLoS Medicine, 2008 BackgroundPrenatal exposure of the developing brain to cocaine causes morphological and behavioral abnormalities. Recent studies indicate that cocaine-induced proliferation inhibition and/or apoptosis in neural progenitor cells may play a pivotal role in

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
, 2008 Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aim The aim of this study was to develop a novel workflow to identify human urine biomarkers for drugs of abuse and new psychoactive substances. Metabolites of amphetamine, cocaine, LSD, MDMA, methamphetamine, THC, MDMB‐CHMICA, and MDPPP were first identified in a zebrafish embryo (ZE) metabolism study followed by comparison to most abundant human ...
