Pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of random nicotine delivery on cigarettes per day and smoke exposure

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 2022
Background: Many smokers report attempting to quit each year, yet most relapse, in part due to exposure to smoking-related cues. It is hypothesized that extinction of the cue-drug association could be facilitated through random nicotine delivery (RND ...

Neural signatures of cognitive flexibility and reward sensitivity following nicotinic receptor stimulation in dependent smokers : a randomized trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
IMPORTANCE Withdrawal from nicotine is an important contributor to smoking relapse. Understanding how reward-based decision making is affected by abstinence and by pharmacotherapies such as nicotine replacement therapy and varenicline tartrate may aid ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Secretome and Its Key Bioactive Metabolites Induce Long‐Term Neuroprotection After Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pischiutta F and coworkers identify prostaglandins and kynurenine as key mediators of the mesenchymal stromal cells‐derived secretome's neuroprotective effects. A synthetic cocktail composed of these factors promotes long‐term functional recovery, reduces brain structural damage, and modulates neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury, supporting ...
