Involvement of Adenosine A2A Receptors in Anxiety‐Like Behaviors in Tetrahydrocannabinol‐Treated Mice

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluated anxiety‐like behavior in mice across treatment and control groups using open field and elevated plus maze tests, followed by hippocampal receptor gene expression analysis. The combined behavioral and molecular data identify potential receptor‐level mechanisms underlying the observed treatment‐associated behavioral changes. ABSTRACT

Pharmacological MRI: Utility in Understanding Drug Mechanisms in Psychiatric Disorders

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 346-363, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharmacological MRI (pharmaMRI) has emerged as a powerful tool to study how psychoactive drugs affect brain function and to uncover mechanisms of drug action in psychiatric disorders. This review provides an overview of key techniques used in pharmaMRI, including BOLD‐fMRI, arterial spin labeling (ASL), and cerebral blood volume (CBV) mapping,

Longan flower water extract promotes sleep in mice via the serotonin–melatonin axis

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 3, Page 1852-1860, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Longan (Dimocarpus longan) flower is an underutilized botanical byproduct rich in polyphenols with reported neuroprotective actions, yet its role in sleep regulation remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep‐promoting effects of longan flower water extract (LFWE) and its underlying neurochemical mechanisms in vivo ...

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The interaction between cancer cells and peripheral nerves: (1) tumor cells could induce the growth of new neural axons and constructing a neural fiber network within the tumor tissue through secreting nerve growth factors; (2) nerve‐derived bioactive molecules can induce perineural invasion of tumor and regulate the malignant phenotype of tumor, such ...

Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Mechanotransduction and Potential Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is expected to undergo significant transformative advancements by 2050, with the emergence of personalized ventilation systems that promise to revolutionize respiratory care. However, the risk of ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) remains a significant concern at this stage and VILI still exists at that time.

Inflammation and Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Chronic inflammation fuels tumorigenesis via “internal drivers” and “external attractions.” Targeting these core mechanisms with combined therapies/novel deliveries enables precise, potent anti‐inflammatory–antitumor treatment. ABSTRACT Inflammation is a core pathological factor regulating tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance, and ...
