Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Major Adverse Cardiac Events with Ondansetron: A Systematic Review
Evidence base: 170 randomized trials, 23,421 adults, predominantly single‐dose IV ondansetron, mean follow‐up 20 days. Observed outcomes: Major adverse cardiac events were rare, no ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes observed. Conclusion: Ondansetron was not associated with increased mortality or serious cardiac arrhythmias in adult ...

Pharmacogenomics of Major Depressive Disorder in Indigenous Amazonian Populations
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychological disorder worldwide and its main treatment is the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. However, few studies have demonstrated the relationship between the presence of genetic variants in pharmacogenes and the efficacy of these drugs, especially in populations with a unique genetic ...

Pregabalin and duloxetine are widely prescribed non‐opioid medications for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Pregabalin may increase the risk of heart failure, and duloxetine increases heart rate and blood pressure; however, little is known about their comparative cardiovascular safety.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant bioactive cannabinoids. Research has demonstrated CBD’s ability to inhibit metabolic enzymes like cytochrome P450 (CYP) and UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), potentially leading to drug interactions. However, clinical knowledge gaps remain, particularly with regard to drugs that are more commonly taken by ...

Maternal health remains a critical global concern, particularly in underserved populations and in low‐ and middle‐income countries where access to safe and effective therapeutics is limited. Despite the use of medications by most women during pregnancy, the exclusion of pregnant and lactating women from clinical trials has resulted in significant data ...

The impact of the choice of common data model (CDM) approach on the study results in a real‐world evidence (RWE) study is unknown. We aimed to determine potential differences in the results of an RWE study when data were mapped to two different CDMs, ConcePTION and OMOP. With the same instance of CPRD GOLD, data were mapped to both CDMs. Using the same

RORγt‐APCs: The New Masters of Oral Tolerance
ABSTRACT Oral tolerance is defined by the hypo‐responsiveness of our body to fed antigens, and its failure can lead to immune‐mediated diseases, such as allergy, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Decades of research have demonstrated that antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) promote oral tolerance by inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) and/or ...

Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...
