Lithium‐Charged Gold Nanoparticles: A New Powerful Tool for Lithium Delivery and Modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Activity

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces glutathione‐stabilized gold nanoparticles for targeted lithium delivery (LiG‐AuNPs), enabling the controlled modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase‐3 (GSK‐3β). These non‐toxic, 2‐nm particles release lithium intracellularly, effectively inhibiting GSK‐3β in the brain without significant plasma lithium alterations.

Antimicrobial Multi‐Assay Evaluation of (Al‐Doped ZnO)‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag Nanocoatings: Impact of Direct and Indirect Mechanisms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work explores the antimicrobial action of AZO‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag nanocoatings on plastic, demonstrating good efficacy against highly‐critical antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, yeast, and virus. A multi‐assay approach is here exploited to inspect the contribution of direct and indirect antimicrobial mechanisms, and potential human toxicity is also ...

Time‐Dependent Therapeutic Effect of S‐Ketamine on PTSD Mediated by VTA‐OFC Dopaminergic Neurocircuit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that early rather than late administration of S‐ketamine can ameliorate PTSD symptoms. This phenomenon is attributed to reversing the progressive inhibition of VTADA neurons and the function of VTADA‐OFC circuit following stress. Targeted stimulation of the OFC by TI‐NIBS to enhance DA release effectively extends the therapeutic time
