COVID‐19 and the risk of Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis
Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the healthcare system, economy, and society. Studies have reported that COVID‐19 may cause various neurologic symptoms, including cognitive impairment.

Construction of GPR183 knockout mice and its function in acute liver injury
Objective To construct a GPR183 knockout mouse model by genome editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system, and to analyze the role of GPR183 receptor in lymphocyte regulation

Correlation between Unconscious Mouse Actions and Human Cognitive Workload [PDF]
Unconscious behaviors are one of the indicators of the human perception process from a psychological perspective. As a result of perception responses, hand gestures show behavioral responses from given stimuli. Mouse usages in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) show hand gestures that individuals perceive information processing.

Threshold Energies for Single Carbon Knockout from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons [PDF]
We have measured absolute cross sections for ultrafast (fs) single-carbon knockout from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) cations as functions of He-PAH center-of-mass collision energy in the range 10-200 eV. Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations cover this range and extend up to 10$^5$ eV. The shapes of the knockout cross sections are well

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

A Deep Learning Framework for Classification of in vitro Multi-Electrode Array Recordings [PDF]
Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) have been widely used to record neuronal activities, which could be used in the diagnosis of gene defects and drug effects. In this paper, we address the problem of classifying in vitro MEA recordings of mouse and human neuronal cultures from different genotypes, where there is no easy way to directly utilize raw sequences

Altered cortical Cytoarchitecture in the Fmr1 knockout mouse [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by silencing of the FMR1 gene and subsequent loss of its protein product, fragile X retardation protein (FMRP). One of the most robust neuropathological findings in post-mortem human FXS and Fmr1 KO mice is the abnormal increase in dendritic spine densities, with the majority of spines ...
