Co‐morbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15 to 39% of people. Whilst pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Towards Better Opioid Antagonists Using Deep Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, has been widely used to save lives from opioid overdose, a leading cause for death in the opioid epidemic. However, naloxone has short brain retention ability, which limits its therapeutic efficacy. Developing better opioid antagonists is critical in combating the opioid epidemic.Instead of exhaustively searching in a ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Prefrontal FGF1 Signaling is Required for Accumbal Deep Brain Stimulation Treatment of Addiction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This research delineates that a cortical‐accumbal pathway and local FGF1 signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex are critical for NAc‐DBS to be effective in altering morphine CPP. These findings demonstrate a top‐down motif to regulate the therapeutic effects of subcortical DBS on addiction and support the potential for addiction treatments involving
