Advances in PET Imaging of α7 Nicotinic Receptors: From Radioligand Development to CNS Applications
ABSTRACT Positron emission tomography (PET) has significantly advanced our understanding of the brain by enabling non‐invasive imaging and quantification of molecular processes, including receptor binding. In this review, we explore the development and application of PET radioligands targeting the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR), a ...

Dual Role of Exosomes in Parkinson's Disease: Adenine Exerts a Beneficial Effect
Exosomes derived from the blood of healthy rats have therapeutic effects on pathology in PD mice; conversely, exosomes released by PD model rats cause PD‐like pathological features in healthy mice. Adenine, which is enriched in healthy exosomes, plays a key role in PD pathology by activating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.

This study is the first to systematically explore the molecular mechanisms underlying lurasidone‐induced acute manic episodes in people with bipolar depression using network pharmacology and molecular docking approaches. Our bioinformatics and computational analyses demonstrated that lurasidone may regulate the serotonergic synapse signaling pathway by

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...
