Adult vitamin D deficiency leads to behavioural and brain neurochemical alterations in C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice [PDF]
Epidemiological evidence suggests that low levels of vitamin D may predispose people to develop depression and cognitive impairment. While rodent studies have demonstrated that prenatal vitamin D deficiency is associated with altered brain development ...

Repurposing the Antidepressant Sertraline: A Systematic Scoping Review of Its Anticancer Mechanisms
A multi‐targeted antidepressant with strong preclinical anticancer activity, sertraline represents a candidate for therapeutic repurposing. ABSTRACT Drug repurposing offers a cost‐effective and time‐efficient strategy for identifying new cancer therapies. Sertraline, a widely prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), has shown promising

Differential disease restriction of Moloney and Friend murine leukemia viruses by the mouse Rmcf gene is governed by the viral long terminal repeat. [PDF]
Neonatal CxD2 (Rmcfr) and Balb/c (Rmcfs) mice inoculated with Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) exhibited approximately equivalent time course and pathology for disease.

Natural Cytotoxicity of NC-2(+) Cells Against the Growth and Metastasis of WEHI-164 Fibrosarcoma [PDF]
We have previously reported a new receptor (NC-2) for natural cytotoxicity (NC) on murine leucocytes, identified by monoclonal antibody D9 (mAb D9). Pretreatment of mouse spleen cells with different concentrations of mAb D9 in vitro blocked NC against ...

Evaluation of an outbred mouse model for Francisella tularensis vaccine development and testing.
Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a biothreat agent for which there is no FDA-approved human vaccine. Currently, there are substantial efforts underway to develop both vaccines and the tools to assess these vaccines.

Genetic background strongly influences the bone phenotype of P2X7 receptor knockout mice [PDF]
The purinergic P2X7 receptor is expressed by bone cells and has been shown to be important in both bone formation and bone resorption. In this study we investigated the importance of the genetic background of the mouse strains on which the P2X7 knock-out

Leishmania promastigotes evade interleukin 12 (IL-12) induction by macrophages and stimulate a broad range of cytokines from CD4+ T cells during initiation of infection. [PDF]
Leishmania major are intramacrophage parasites whose eradication requires the induction of T helper 1 (Th1) effector cells capable of activating macrophages to a microbicidal state.
