The emerging role of serotonin in liver regeneration
Serotonin has a multifunctional role in many different organs serving either as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system or a paracrine factor in the gastrointestinal tract.

Item-Level Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) on Depression: Implications for Inference, Generalizability, and Identification [PDF]
In analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), Item Response Theory (IRT) models that allow for heterogeneity in the treatment effect at the item level merit consideration. These models for ``item-level heterogeneous treatment effects'' (IL-HTE) can provide more accurate statistical inference, allow ...

Theoretical frameworks for neuroeconomics of intertemporal choice [PDF]
Intertemporal choice has drawn attention in behavioral economics, econophysics, and neuroeconomics. Recent studies in mainstream economics have mainly focused on inconsistency in intertemporal choice (dynamic inconsistency); while impulsivity/impatience in intertemporal choice has been extensively studied in behavioral economics of addiction.

Designed Biomaterial‐Enhanced Cell Transplantation for Neural Tissue Engineering
Biomaterials offer a promising solution for cell transplantation in the central nervous system by creating a protective environment that enhances cell survival, integration, and functional recovery in preclinical models of neurological disorders. ABSTRACT Cell transplantation therapy in the central nervous system is hindered by limited survival and ...

Pain‐autonomic measures reveal nociceptive sensitization in complex regional pain syndrome
Abstract Background Allodynia and hyperalgesia are common signs in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), mainly attributed to sensitization of the nociceptive system. Appropriate diagnostic tools for the objective assessment of such hypersensitivities are still lacking, which are essential for the development of mechanism‐based ...

Enantioselective CE–MS analysis of ketamine metabolites in urine
Abstract The chiral drug ketamine has long‐lasting antidepressant effects with a fast onset and is also suitable to treat patients with therapy‐resistant depression. The metabolite hydroxynorketamine (HNK) plays an important role in the antidepressant mechanism of action.

Misplaced Confidence in Observed Power [PDF]
A recently published randomized controlled trial in JAMA investigated the impact of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, escitalopram, on the risk of major adverse events (MACE). The authors estimated a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.49, 0.96; $p$ = 0.03) and then attempted to calculate how much statistical power their study (test) had ...

Neuropathic pain management via repeated electroacupuncture. Abstract Background Existing remedial approaches for relieving neuropathic pain (NPP) are challenging and open the way for alternative therapeutic measures such as electroacupuncture (EA). The mechanism underlying the antinociceptive effects of repeated EA sessions, particularly concerning ...
