Main Points Ibudilast, a MIF and PDE inhibitor, preserves the form and function of the retina, especially bipolar cells, during excitotoxic damage. Ibudilast upregulates multiple signaling pathways, including mTOR, in damaged Müller glia and bipolar cells.

The metabolic reprogramming of γ-aminobutyrate in oral squamous cell carcinoma. [PDF]
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck malignancy. The oncometabolites have been studied in OSCC, but the mechanism of metabolic reprogramming remains unclear.

Abstract Disuse muscle atrophy can result in downregulated gene expression vital to muscle integrity, yet the mechanisms driving this downregulation remain unclear. Epigenetic alterations regulate transcriptional potential, with repressive changes suppressing gene expression.

Around 50% of people with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) develop nicotine dependence (ND); however, the mechanism for this relationship is unknown, and current treatments for ADHD do not prevent or slow the onset of ND. Transcriptomic analysis of the striatum and whole brains of three rodent models of ADHD and two of ND supports a role

Are we there yet? Exploring astrocyte heterogeneity one cell at a time
Main Points Astrocytes are present throughout the entire central nervous system where they play critical support functions and respond to injury and disease. In both health and disease, astrocytes show strikingheterogeneity. 'In this review we discuss how astrocyte heterogeneity is assessed by single cell and spatial transcriptomic approaches, what we ...

Astrocytes are key but indirect contributors to the development of the symptomatology and pathophysiology of Huntington's disease. [PDF]
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which an early and selective vulnerability of striatal Spiny Projection Neurons is observed.
