Direct comparison of efficacy of the motor cortical plasticity induction and the interindividual variability between TBS and QPS

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: Theta burst stimulation (TBS) and quadripulse stimulation (QPS) are known to induce synaptic plasticity in humans. There have been no head-to-head comparisons of the efficacy and variability between TBS and QPS.

ALKBH5‐Driven m6A Demethylation Boosts Inflammation and Autophagy in LPS‐Stimulated Macrophages

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains a critical health threat with limited pharmacological treatments. This study investigates the role of the N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) in alveolar macrophages and its subsequent impact on inflammation and autophagy during ARDS pathogenesis.
