Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

Males, the Wrongly Neglected Partners of the Biologically Unprecedented Male–Female Interaction of Schistosomes

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Schistosomes are the only platyhelminths that have evolved separate sexes, and they exhibit a unique reproductive biology because the female’s sexual maturation depends on a constant pairing contact with the male.

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

The Multifaceted Etiology of Mental Disorders With a Focus on Trace Elements, a Review of Recent Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental disorders are a significant global public health concern, affecting nearly one in eight individuals worldwide. This review investigates the multifaceted etiology of mental disorders—specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BD)—through genetic, neurobiological, and environmental ...

Global Neuropeptide Annotations From the Genomes and Transcriptomes of Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa (Cnidaria: Medusozoa), and Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
During animal evolution, ancestral Cnidaria and Bilateria diverged more than 600 million years ago. The nervous systems of extant cnidarians are strongly peptidergic.

3‐Year Outcomes of Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency Ablation of the Posterior Nasal Nerve in Patients With Chronic Rhinitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) ablation of the posterior nasal nerve has been shown to improve chronic rhinitis (CR) symptoms and quality of life (QoL). This study assesses the durability of TCRF's effectiveness and safety 3 years post‐procedure in patients with perennial allergic CR and nonallergic CR.

A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We developed a Drosophila model for prion disease, and flies were capable of expressing the hamster prion protein (HaPrP) under the control of the GAL4/UAS system. The model exhibited some characteristics of the disease in mammals and displayed alterations in protein, sphingolipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Preliminary applications have demonstrated

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Deficiency Is Associated With Altered Gut Microbiota Communities in Male and Female C57BL/6 Mice

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is crucial for gastrointestinal tract (GIT) health. VIP sustains GIT homeostasis through maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory mediator that contributes to gut ...
