Background and Purpose Little is known about how synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA) co‐use with other psychoactive substances may exacerbate risk of death. This study aimed to characterise the polypharmacy of deaths where SCRAs were detected at post‐mortem, investigate the cardiotoxicity of SCRAs and probe their inhibition of human ether‐a ...

Kcnv2 E151X Mouse Captures Hallmarks of KCNV2‐Associated Retinal Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Background KCNV2‐associated retinopathy is a rare inherited retinal dystrophy caused by variants in the KCNV2 gene, leading to disrupted photoreceptor behaviour and progressive deterioration of vision. Patients have characteristic electroretinography abnormalities, including reduced cone response, delayed and reduced rod response to low light ...

Repeated paclitaxel exposure causes long‐lasting nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction in adult sensory neurons. Using a long‐term primary nociceptor culture, we show that hyperexcitability is mediated by sequential upregulation of NaV1.8, TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8 channels.

Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...
