Large-area, uniform and low-cost dual-mode plasmonic naked-eye colorimetry and SERS sensor with handheld Raman spectrometer [PDF]

, 2016
We demonstrated a highly sensitive, waferscale, highly uniform plasmonic nanomushroom substrate based on plastic for nakedeye plasmonic colorimetry and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We gave it the name FlexBrite. The dualmode functionality of FlexBrite allows for label-free qualitative analysis by SERS with an enhancement factor (EF) of ...

Infiltrating peripheral monocyte TREM-1 mediates dopaminergic neuron injury in substantia nigra of Parkinson’s disease model mice

Cell Death and Disease
Neuroinflammation is a key factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Activated microglia in the central nervous system (CNS) and infiltration of peripheral immune cells contribute to dopaminergic neuron loss. However, the role of peripheral

NeuroCADR: Drug Repurposing to Reveal Novel Anti-Epileptic Drug Candidates Through an Integrated Computational Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Drug repurposing is an emerging approach for drug discovery involving the reassignment of existing drugs for novel purposes. An alternative to the traditional de novo process of drug development, repurposed drugs are faster, cheaper, and less failure prone than drugs developed from traditional methods.

Impaired synaptic plasticity and decreased glutamatergic neuron excitability induced by SIRT1/BDNF downregulation in the hippocampal CA1 region are involved in postoperative cognitive dysfunction

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
Background Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication after anesthesia/surgery, especially among elderly patients, and poses a significant threat to their postoperative quality of life and overall well-being.

Neuronal excitation-inhibition imbalance in the basolateral amygdala is involved in propofol-mediated enhancement of fear memory

Communications Biology
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with glutamatergic neuron hyperactivation in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) brain area, while GABAergic interneurons in the BLA modulate glutamatergic neuron excitability.

Gut microbes–spinal connection is required for itch sensation

Gut Microbes
The gut microbiota has been linked to a number of neurological disorders. However, it is unclear whether the gut microbiota is involved in the genesis of chronic itch, a refractory condition that afflicts patients both physically and mentally.

The PrLGlu→avBNSTGABA circuit rapidly modulates depression-like behaviors in male mice

iScience, 2023
Summary: Depression is a global disease with a high prevalence. Here, we examine the role of the circuit from prelimbic mPFC (PrL) to the anterior ventral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (avBNST) in depression-like mice through behavioral tests ...

Multi-View Substructure Learning for Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction provides a drug combination strategy for systemically effective treatment. Previous studies usually model drug information constrained on a single view such as the drug itself, leading to incomplete and noisy information, which limits the accuracy of DDI prediction.
