Article Synopsis
  • CPEB3 is highlighted as a key regulator in learning and memory, supported by various studies on behavior, brain activity, and brain structure.
  • The review discusses CPEB3's interaction with important proteins like AMPA and NMDA receptors, actin, and PSD95, which are vital for synaptic plasticity.
  • It also explores the molecular mechanisms influencing CPEB3's functions, including regulatory proteins, modifications, and structural features essential for its role in sustaining synaptic changes linked to long-term memory.

The rapid and strong anti-depressant-like effects of ketamine cause wide concern.

Jatropha multifida is a medicinal plant that belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. Our investigation revealed that the chloroform extract of J. multifida stems showed anti-melanin deposition activity against α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH)- and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced melanogenesis in the mouse melanoma cell line (B16-F10).

Objective: To confirm the potential therapeutic efficacy of HAO472 against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we investigated the modulatory functions of HAO472 in a mouse model of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis.

Methods: Colitis was induced via an intrarectal injection of TNBS in mice. HAO472 (5.
