Characterization of Bladder Selectivity of Antimuscarinic Agents on the Basis of Drug-Receptor Binding [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2012 The in vivo muscarinic receptor binding of antimuscarinic agents (oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, and imidafenacin) used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder is reviewed.

Emotional Contagion-Aware Deep Reinforcement Learning for Antagonistic Crowd Simulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The antagonistic behavior in the crowd usually exacerbates the seriousness of the situation in sudden riots, where the antagonistic emotional contagion and behavioral decision making play very important roles. However, the complex mechanism of antagonistic emotion influencing decision making, especially in the environment of sudden confrontation, has ...

Antidepressant-like Effects of Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) [PDF]
World Journal of Research and Review (WJRR) ISSN:2455-3956,
Volume-4, Issue-5, May 2017 Pages 26-30, 2020 Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) is a member of RFamide neuropeptides that play diverse roles in central nervous system. Little is know about the effects of NPSF on brain functions. Antidepressant-like effect of NPSF was studied in modified mice FST. NPSF showed the antidepressant-like effects by decreasing the immobility time and increasing the climbing and ...

Memetic Algorithms for Ligand Expulsion from Protein Cavities [PDF]
J. Chem. Phys. 143 (12), 124101, 2015, 2015 Ligand diffusion through proteins is a fundamental process governing biological signaling and enzymatic catalysis. The complex topology of protein tunnels results in difficulties with computing ligand escape pathways by standard molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Here, two novel methods for searching of ligand exit pathways and cavity exploration are

Towards an efficient inverse static model of a Festo actuator made of two antagonist muscles for hybrid control of its position and stiffness [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The Festo air muscle is today one of the most known commercial version of the so-called McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle. A major advantage of handmade McKibben muscles, as well as its commercial versions, lies in the possibility it offers of realizing antagonist muscle actuator on the model of the biceps-triceps system.
