Reactive astrogliosis is a critical process in the development of ischemic stroke. However, the precise mechanism by which reactive astrogliosis changes the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke remains elusive. Sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing 1 protein (SARM1) plays a key role in axonal degeneration and is involved in different cell death programs that regulate neuronal survival.

Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products are increasingly popular despite uncertainties regarding their legality and safety. Based on the hypothesis that unique double-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MS) and triple-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MS) fragments would allow unambiguous identification of cannabinoids, a simple and rapid method was developed for the differentiation of Δ8-THC, Δ9-THC, and cannabidiol (CBD) within 1 min. This approach combines methanol extraction and silver(I)-impregnated paper spray mass spectrometry (AgPS-MS) for the analysis of Δ8-THC products.

Background: The phospholipid-modifying enzyme MBOAT2 plays a crucial role in iron homeostasis by inhibiting iron sequestration, thus preventing iron-induced cell death. It achieves this by remodeling the phospholipid composition of cell membranes through phospholipid metabolism. Although multiple studies have highlighted the significance of MBOAT2 in tumorigenesis, a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis has not been conducted to date.
