Magnesium-induced conditioned place preference in mice
A conditioned place preference procedure was used in mice to test the hypothesis that magnesium possesses reinforcing properties. Mice were conditioned to the nonpreferred end of a three-compartment straight shuttle box with MgCl2 injections alternating with saline injections on the preferred end. Dose of MgCl2 was varied (0, 15, 30, 125 mg/kg) as well

Persistent Disruption of an Established Morphine Conditioned Place Preference [PDF]
In human addicts, craving and relapse are frequently evoked by the recall of memories connected to a drug experience. Established memories can become labile if recalled and can then be disrupted by several interfering events and pharmacological treatments, including inhibition of protein synthesis.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Importance of GluA1 subunit-containing AMPA glutamate receptors for morphine state-dependency.
In state-dependency, information retrieval is most efficient when the animal is in the same state as it was during the information acquisition. State-dependency has been implicated in a variety of learning and memory processes, but its mechanisms remain ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Khat-induced conditioned place preference, extinction, and reinstatement in female mice
Khat (Catha edulis Forsk), the natural source of cathinone and other psychoactive agents, is chewed by millions of persons in eastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula for its psychostimulant effect.

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Modulating morphine-induced conditioned place preference: The role of diclofenac sodium
Morphine is known to induce strong reward-related behaviors, contributing to its high addiction potential. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac sodium, have been suggested to modulate neuroinflammatory pathways involved in ...
