A role for oxytocin in the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder estimated to affect 51 million people worldwide. Several symptom domains characterize schizophrenia, including negative symptoms, such as social withdrawal and anhedonia, cognitive ...

Goat and cow casein derived ingredients and their interactions with iron : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Technology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The objective of this study was to gain a fundamental understanding of how goat casein micelles and the products of casein proteins behave when fortified with iron. Iron fortified skim milk was characterised by analysing the mass balance of micellar/non

Organic compatible solutes of halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms [PDF]
從苗栗通宵鹽山取得的粗鹽結晶中純化出十八株能生長在4.0 M高鹽的菌株。由16S rDNA序列的分析,確認這十八菌株均為極端高鹽太古生物,其中呈紅色菌落的HLR1~6這六株菌均屬於Haloarcula屬,而十二株淺紅色菌落的HLO1~6及白色菌落的HLW1~6屬於Natrinema屬。這十二株Natrinema屬的菌株均為長桿狀細胞,皆具有觸酶及氧化酶的活性,可以利用色胺酸、檸檬酸和葡萄糖,但都不能分解澱粉、明膠、脂質及卵磷脂,和Natrinema屬的菌株之16S rDNA相似度在97~99 %之間 ...

This study shows that stem‐like cells isolated from breast cancer brain metastases drive the spread and growth of tumors in the brain. Among them, a highly adhesive subgroup initiates metastasis and resists many drugs. By closely reflecting patient tumors, these models help identify new targets and improve the development of effective treatments ...

ABSTRACT Electrochemical biosensors enable the accurate and timely detection of clinical biomarkers, improving healthcare and precision medicine. MXene nanosheets, a class of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, are promising materials for developing next‐generation electrochemical biosensors due to their unique physicochemical ...

Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging

Different roles for aspartates and glutamates for cation permeation in bacterial sodium channels [PDF]
A key driving force for ion channel selectivity is represented by the negative charge of the Selectivity Filter carried by aspartate (D) and glutamate (E) residues. However, the structural effects and specific properties of D and E residues have not been

Temporal and Cell‐Specific Regulation of Synaptic Homeostasis by the Chromatin Remodeler Chd1
Chd1, the Drosophila homologue of mammalian CHD2 ‐ a gene linked to autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, is required for synaptic homeostatic plasticity. Chd1 in glia is necessary for the rapid induction of synaptic homeostasis, whereas Chd1 in motoneurons, muscle, and glia is critical for long‐term maintenance.

The Acidic Tail of the Cdc34 Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme Functions in Both Binding to and Catalysis with Ubiquitin Ligase SCFC^(dc4*) [PDF]
Ubiquitin ligases, together with their cognate ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, are responsible for the ubiquitylation of proteins, a process that regulates a myriad of eukaryotic cellular functions. The first cullin-RING ligase discovered, yeast SCF^(Cdc4)

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain
Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.
