Sleep Deprivation Aggravates Periodontitis Through Trigeminal‐Periodontal Neuroimmune Pathway Mediated by the AChE‐ACh‐α7nAChR Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep deprivation (SD) exacerbates ligature‐induced periodontitis (LIP) through the trigeminal nerve‐periodontal neuroimmune pathway mediated by the acetylcholinesterase (AChE)‐acetylcholine (ACh)‐α7 nicotinic receptor (α7nAChR) axis. While electroacupuncture (EA) alleviates the condition of LIP combined with SD by activating the α7nAChR.

Gut Metabolite Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Regulates Macrophage Autophagy Through PPT1 Inhibiting Aging‐Related Myocardial Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
IPA is an intestinal tryptophan metabolite whose effects decline with decreased heart function. Supplementing IPA can alleviate the aging‐related myocardial fibrosis through PPT1. PPT1 is a key protein localized to lysosomes, and IPA can restore macrophage autophagy function by regulating PPT1 expresssions, thereby reducing aging‐related myocardial ...

CYP2A6 Polymorphisms May Strengthen Individualized Treatment for Nicotine Dependence

open access: yesScientifica, 2015
Each CYP2A6 gene variant metabolizes nicotine differently depending on its enzymatic activities. The normal nicotine metabolizer CYP2A6*1A is associated with high scores of nicotine dependence (5–10) on the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND ...

Co‐Selection of Low Cadmium Accumulation and High Yield During Tomato Improvement

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study finds that large‐fruited tomatoes accumulate less cadmium (Cd) compared to wild tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. This is because, during the improvement process of tomato, the low‐Cd allele LCT1A and the large fruit allele fw3.2T are closely linked, leading to a co‐selection event.

Interaction of the phencyclidine model of schizophrenia and nicotine on total and categorized ultrasonic vocalizations in rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Patients with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes at a higher rate than the general population. We hypothesized that a factor in this comorbidity is sensitivity to the reinforcing and reinforcement- enhancement effects of nicotine.
