Oxygen is an essential substance for all metazoan organisms on Earth, influencing biological processes under various physiological and pathological conditions. Although systems that induce acute hypoxic responses, including the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, have been identified, their mechanisms of action under prolonged hypoxia remain in...

Differential Effects of Exercise Timing on Skeletal Growth in Mice Introduction Skeletal growth is crucial for adult height and bone health. Studies have shown that exercise can effectively increase bone density, but the optimal exercise timing remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the optimal exercise timing by comparing the effects of ...

The Intensity-Dependent Effects of Cortical Electrical Stimulation on Motor Learning and the Role of Dopamine Background Introduction Nowadays, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are widely used in neuroplasticity research to modulate cognition and behavior. However, optimizing stimulati...

Accelerating the Discovery of Ionizable Lipids for mRNA Delivery using Machine Learning and Combinatorial Chemistry Research Background To fully realize the potential of mRNA therapies, it is essential to expand the toolkit of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). However, a key bottleneck in LNP development is identifying new ionizable lipids. Previous stud...

Unique Patterns of Glycosylation in Plaques and Microglia in Alzheimer’s Disease Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and a devastating neurodegenerative disorder. AD is characterized by two pathological features: extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and intracellular phosphorylated Tau neurofibrillary ta...

Study on Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) and the Level of Tight Junction Protein Claudin-5 in Microvessels Background Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of Amyloid-β (Aβ) in the cerebral blood vessels. Research indicates that approximately 23% of individuals over the age of 55 have moderate to severe CAA. CAA ...

Thalamic Reuniens Nucleus Glutamatergic Neurons Mediated Colorectal Visceral Pain in Mice through 5-HT2B Receptors Background Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and visceral hypersensitivity. Reducing visceral hypersensitivity is crucial for effectively alleviating abdominal pain in ...

Scientific Paper Report Discoveries in the field of science often have significant implications for understanding natural phenomena and improving practical applications. Recently, a research paper published in Science Immunology titled “Serine enrichment in tumors promotes regulatory T cell accumulation through sphinganine-mediated regulation of c-...

A Study on the Effect of YEATS2 Gene Knockdown on Dopaminergic Synaptic Integrity and Epileptic-like Behavior in Drosophila Background Introduction Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activities in the brain. These abnormal activities can lead to seizures and other neurological symptoms. Familial adult my...

ABHD6 Drives Endocytosis of AMPA Receptors to Regulate Synaptic Plasticity and Learning Flexibility Research Background In the exploration of the neural system’s mechanisms, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors (AMPAR) maintain the tuning ability of neurons in both resting and active states through the regulation of...
