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 ...

Phosphocholine-Modified Lipooligosaccharides of Haemophilus influenzae Inhibit ATP-Induced IL-1beta Release by Pulmonary Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Phosphocholine-modified bacterial cell wall components are virulence factors enabling immune evasion and permanent colonization of the mammalian host, by mechanisms that are poorly understood.

N‐Amino Peptide–Graphene Quantum Dot Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles for Targeted Therapy of Tauopathies

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A neuron‐targeting drug delivery system is developed by incorporating the tau‐specific N‐amino peptide, mxyl‐NAP2, with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and encapsulating the complex into small extracellular vesicles functionalized with a neuron‐targeting ligand.

Structurally similar allosteric modulators of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors exhibit five distinct pharmacological effects. [PDF]

, 2015
Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) is associated with the binding of agonists such as acetylcholine to an extracellular site that is located at the interface between two adjacent receptor subunits.

Interfacial Photoelectrochemistry in Organic Synthesis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Photoelectrodes have traditionally enjoyed widespread attention as heterogeneous catalysts for the activation of water and CO2 in energy research, while photoelectrochemistry with homogeneous molecular catalysts dominates the activations of more complex molecules in organic synthesis.

Lateral Habenula contribution in Nicotine addiction : focus on Dopamine, GABA and Serotonin Interactions [PDF]

, 2011
Compelling evidence has shown a pivotal role of dopaminergic function in drug addiction. Recently, the Habenula (Hb) has attracted a great deal of attention as another target for nicotine in the brain because of its role in regulating dopamine (DA ...

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

, 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 ...

Overview of Encapsulated Lysine and Methionine and Their Impacts on Transition Cow Performance and Health

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning 3 weeks before and after calving, is a critical phase characterized by increased nutrient demands, reduced dry matter intake (DMI), and elevated risk of metabolic disorders such as negative nutrient balance (NNB), lipolysis, proteolysis, and oxidative stress.

The Role of Nicotinic Receptors on Ca²⁺ Signaling in Bovine Chromaffin Cells

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Chromaffin cells have been used as a physiological model to understand neurosecretion in mammals for many years. Nicotinic receptors located in the cells’ membrane are stimulated by acetylcholine, and they participate in the exocytosis of chromaffin ...
