A sensitive period for the development of episodic-like memory in mice.

Episodic-like memory is a later-developing cognitive function supported by the hippocampus. In mice, the formation of extracellular perineuronal nets in subfield CA1 of the dorsal hippocampus controls the emergence of episodic-like memory during the fourth postnatal week (Ramsaran et al., 2023).

Digoxin and its Na/K-ATPase-targeted actions on cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Na/K-ATPase (NKA) is a plasma membrane ion-transporting protein involved in the generation and maintenance of Na and K gradients across the cell membrane, which can produce a driving force for the secondary transport of metabolic substrates. NKA also regulates intracellular calcium that is responsible for modulating numerous cellular processes, while it interacts with many other proteins and functions as a signal transducer, with several signaling pathways being involved. Thus, NKA has become an important target for the treatment of human diseases.

Transdiagnostic Neurobiology of Social Cognition and Individual Variability as Measured by Fractional Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation in Schizophrenia and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) is a validated measure of resting-state spontaneous brain activity. Previous fALFF findings in autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (ASDs and SSDs) have been highly heterogeneous. We aimed to use fALFF in a large sample of typically developing control (TDC), ASD and SSD participants to explore group differences and relationships with inter-individual variability of fALFF maps and social cognition.

Development of Potential Therapeutic Agents from Black Elderberries (the Fruits of L.).

Elderberry ( L.) is a widespread deciduous shrub, of which the fruits (elderberries) are used in the food industry to produce different types of dietary supplement products. These berries have been found to show multiple bioactivities, including antidiabetic, anti-infective, antineoplastic, anti-obesity, and antioxidant activities.
