Formation of a β‐Endorphin Corona Mitigates Alzheimer's Amyloidogenesis
This study revealed the molecular mechanism of exercise‐induced β‐endorphin in suppressing the toxicity of Alzheimer's Aβ in vitro, in vivo and in silico. Abstract Senile plaques, comprised of nanosized aggregates of amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides in the brain, are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

A Chemogenetic Toolkit for Inducible, Cell Type‐Specific Actin Disassembly
ChiActs are novel actin‐perturbing genetic tools that can be rapidly activated by chemical actuators and optogenetically targeted to distinct subcellular locations using light. ChiActs rapidly induce actin disassembly in several model cell types and are able to perturb actin‐dependent nano‐assembly and cellular functions, including inhibition of ...

Physical activity promotes functional improvements in both robust and physically frail older adults, driven by distinct adaptation mechanisms in the mitochondria‐inflammation axis that are influenced by age and frailty status. ABSTRACT Physical exercise has been associated with healthier aging trajectories, potentially preventing or mitigating age ...

Neuropsychopharmacology of hallucinogenic and non‐hallucinogenic 5‐HT2A receptor agonists
Psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocin were once relegated to the fringes of medical research because of their association with counterculture movements and a perceived concern about harm through recreational use, and their consequent legal prohibition in the early 1970s.

Neurotrophins and Psychiatric Disorders
Increasing number of studies has during the last decade linked neurotrophic factors with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders and with the mechanisms of action of drugs used for the treatment of these disorders. In particular, brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF and its receptor TrkB have been connected with the pathophysiology in mood ...

Role of the RAB27/SYTL Axis in Tumor Microenvironment Construction
This review focuses on the role of the RAB27/SYTL axis in various cancer types associated with tumor microenvironment modifications. The importance of this pathway and the potential therapeutic strategies targeting vesicle production for the treatment of cancer are also discussed.

Polymeric nanoparticles represent promising drug (gene) delivery carriers to the brain due to their unique advantages to facilitate the penetration of blood–brain barrier and endocytosis of neuronal cells in neurodegenerative diseases. ABSTRACT In spite of great advances in modern medicine, there are a few effective strategies for the treatment of ...

In vitro models of valproic acid to assess neurodevelopmental toxicity: A scoping review
Abstract Valproic acid (VPA) is a first‐line antiseizure medication (ASM) that is highly efficacious for treating generalized and focal epilepsy disorders. Unfortunately, due to its strong association with teratogenic effects culminating in fetal valproate spectrum disorder (FVSD), which may include neurocognitive and neurobehavioral deficits, the drug

Abstract Objective KCNB1 encodes an α‐subunit of the delayed‐rectifier voltage‐dependent potassium channel Kv2.1. De novo pathogenic variants of KCNB1 have been linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), diagnosed in early childhood and sharing limited treatment options.

d‐amino acids: new functional insights
This review explores recent advances in understanding d‐amino acids (d‐AAs) and their pivotal roles across organisms, from plants to humans. d‐AAs have been implicated in key physiological processes, including cancer, inflammation, immune regulation, kidney disease, diabetes, and nervous system function.
