Rewiring Neuroimmunity: Nanoplatform Innovations for CNS Disease Therapy
This review explores emerging nanoplatform strategies designed to modulate neuroimmune responses for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It examines structural and microenvironmental barriers, advances in multifunctional and targeted nanotechnologies, and highlights clinical progress and translational challenges, offering insights into the

Central dopamine D2 receptors regulate plasma glucose levels in mice through autonomic nerves
Recent evidence suggests that the central nervous system (CNS) regulates plasma glucose levels, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. The present study investigated the role of dopaminergic function in the CNS in regulation of plasma glucose levels in

D₂ Dopamine Receptors Colocalize Regulator of G-Protein Signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2) via the RGS9 DEP Domain, and RGS9 Knock-Out Mice Develop Dyskinesias Associated with Dopamine Pathways [PDF]
Regulator of G-protein signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2), a member of the RGS family of Gα GTPase accelerating proteins, is expressed specifically in the striatum, which participates in antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia and in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. We

Spatial intensity distribution analysis: studies of G Protein-coupled receptor oligomerization [PDF]
Spatial intensity distribution analysis (SpIDA) is a recently developed approach for determining quaternary structure information on fluorophore-labelled proteins of interest in situ. It can be applied to live or fixed cells and native tissue.

Dopamine agonists and Othello’s syndrome [PDF]
Othello's syndrome (OS) is a delusion of infidelity. We describe seven cases of OS in Parkinson's disease (iPD) patients using dopamine agonists.We searched the Mayo Clinic Medical Records System to identify all patients with OS. Clinical data abstracted include sex, age of onset of iPD, age of onset of OS, medications, effect of discontinuing the ...

Dynein‐Dependent Endo‐Lysosomal Degradation Drives Lewy Body Disorders Accompanied by Aβ Pathology
This study investigates the impact of Aβ plaques on α‐synuclein (αSyn) pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Co‐culturing primary neurons with AD mouse brain slices reveals impaired dynein‐dependent organelle trafficking, affecting αSyn degradation. Activating Rab7 restores this process, reducing αSyn inclusions.

Dopamine induces optical changes in the cichlid fish lens. [PDF]
The crystalline lens in the cichlid fish Aequidens pulcher undergoes a transformation of its optical properties every dawn and dusk as the eye adapts to changes in light conditions.

We demonstrate that Foxp1± mice, modeling FOXP1 haploinsufficiency, exhibit behavioral deficits, striatal neuroinflammatory changes including altered microglial complexity and synaptic pruning, and markedly reduced Pde10a expression. Pde10a inhibition starting immediately after birth restores Foxp1± behavior, microglial morphology, and pruning ...

D1 receptor agonist improves sleep–wake parameters in experimental parkinsonism
Both excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deregulation are part of Parkinson's disease (PD) non-motor symptoms and may complicate dopamine replacement therapy.
