Adolescent D-amphetamine treatment in a rodent model of ADHD: pro-cognitive effects in adolescence without an impact on cocaine cue reactivity in adulthood [PDF]
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is comorbid with cocaine abuse. Whereas initiating ADHD medication in childhood does not alter later cocaine abuse risk, initiating medication during adolescence may increase risk.

An endochondral differentiation process in the CEPs drives pathologic disc calcification in aging LG/J mice, and NP cell hypertrophic transdifferentiation secondarily contributes. Supplementing drinking water with 80 mM K3Citrate during aging markedly reduced disc calcification, attenuated NP cell transdifferentiation, and mildly improved NP and AF ...

The monkeypox virus (MPXV) has spread to many countries and caused thousands of infections all over the world. This review comprehensively introduces the biology, epidemiological characteristics of MPXV, and clinical manifestations of Mpox. The approaches for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are also introduced, aiming to improve the general ...

Home Cage Compared with Induction Chamber for Euthanasia of Laboratory Rats [PDF]
This study compared behavioral and physiologic changes in Sprague-Dawley and Brown Norway rats that were euthanizedby using a 30% volume displacement rate of CO2 in either their home cage or an induction chamber; rats euthanized in thehome cage were ...

Genetic Loci Influencing Cue‐Reactivity in Heterogeneous Stock Rats
A genome‐wide association study characterizing individual differences in cue‐reactivity (sign‐tracking; A) identifies multiple genetic loci, particularly on chromosomes 1 and 18 (B). Multiple candidate genes in these regions were identified, including those with known psychiatric relevance (e.g., Tenm4; C) and novel candidates with heritable ...

Reduced Levels of mGlu2 Receptors within the Prelimbic Cortex Are Not Associated with Elevated Glutamate Transmission or High Alcohol Drinking [PDF]
Background A Grm2 cys407* stop codon mutation, which results in a loss of the metabotropic glutamate 2 (mGlu2) receptor protein, was identified as being associated with high alcohol drinking by alcohol-preferring (P) rats.

Jan and mini‐Jan, a model system for potato functional genomics
Summary Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the third‐most important food crop in the world. Although the potato genome has been fully sequenced, functional genomics research of potato lags behind that of other major food crops, largely due to the lack of a model experimental potato line.

ABSTRACT Farmed insects have gained attention as an alternative, sustainable source of protein with a lower carbon footprint than traditional livestock. We present a high‐quality reference genome for one of the most commonly farmed insects, the banded cricket Gryllodes sigillatus. In addition to its agricultural importance, G.

Platelet-activating factor and hyperacute rejection: The effect of a platelet-activating factor antagonist, sri 63-441, on rejection of xenografts and allografts in sensitized hosts [PDF]
The pathogenesis of hyperacute transplantation reactions includes the activation of a cascade of nonspecific inflammatory reactions that precipitates the destruction of the target organ.

Amino Acid Metabolism and Immune Dysfunction in Urea Cycle Disorders: T and B Cell Perspectives
ABSTRACT Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of genetic metabolic conditions characterized by enzyme deficiencies responsible for detoxifying ammonia. Hyperammonemia, the accumulation of intermediate metabolites, and a deficiency of essential amino acids—due to a protein‐restrictive diet and the use of ammonia scavengers—can increase the risk of ...
