Molecular determinants of signal transduction in tropomyosin receptor kinases

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 252-267, February 2026.
Tropomyosin receptor kinases control critical neuronal functions, but how do the same receptors produce diverse cellular responses? This review explores the structural mechanisms behind Trk signaling diversity, focusing on allosteric modulation and ligand bias.

Combined Neuroprotective Effects of N,N‐Dimethyltryptamine and Ventral Root Reimplantation Following Spinal Root Avulsion in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 2, February 2026.
The ventral root avulsion (VRA) model provides an excellent experimental paradigm for studying injuries at the Central/Peripheral Nervous Systems (CNS/PNS) interface. By physically disconnecting motoneurons (MNs) from the spinal cord surface, VRA induces profound cellular, molecular, and functional deficits with limited spontaneous recovery.

Dose-dependent changes in global brain activity and functional connectivity following exposure to psilocybin: a BOLD MRI study in awake rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
Psilocybin is a hallucinogen with complex neurobiological and behavioral effects. This is the first study to use MRI to follow functional changes in brain activity in response to different doses of psilocybin in fully awake, drug naive rats.
