Neuromodulators have major influences on the regulation of neural circuit activity across the nervous system. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to be a prominent neuromodulator in many circuits and has been extensively studied in the retina. Here, it has been associated with the regulation of light adaptation, gain control, and gap junctional coupling, but its effect on the retinal output, specifically on the different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), is still poorly understood.

Background: Recent studies show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the Alzheimer's disease (AD), while the mechanisms involved were studied insufficiently.
Aims: The present study aimed to explore the effect of human insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA binding proteins 2 (IGF2BP2), one of the m6A-binding proteins on the progression of AD.
Materials & Methods: The mRNA and protein expression level were determined using RT-qPCR and western blot, respectively.
Background: Our previous study identified that Sildenafil (a phosphodiesterase type 5 [PDE5] inhibitor) is a candidate repurposable drug for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using in silico network medicine approach. However, the clinically meaningful size and mechanism-of-actions of sildenafil in potential prevention and treatment of AD remind unknown.
Method: We conducted new patient data analyses using both the MarketScan® Medicare with Supplemental database (n = 7.

Background: Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter critical for cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and sociability, is essential for maintaining synaptic integrity. Deficits in acetylcholine levels are linked to cognitive impairments. Heterozygous VAChT KD (VAChT KDHET) mice, characterized by reduced vesicular acetylcholine transporter protein production, exhibit cognitive impairments due to diminished acetylcholine release.

Cancer pain is one of the most common symptoms in patients with advanced cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the -related gene C (MrgC) receptors on bone cancer pain. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured after the inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the tibia of adult Sprague-Dawley rats.
