Numerous questions remain regarding the intergenerational transmission of tobacco use and dependence, and some of these questions are best approached from a transdisciplinary perspective. For example, considering both genetic and environmental influences on cigarette smoking promises to be a fruitful venue for future investigations. In this paper, we consider the evidence regarding intergenerational influences on the transmission of tobacco use and nicotine dependence in both humans and animal models; our focus will be on genetic influences, in utero exposure to nicotine, and some postnatal influences. Research gaps that exist between scientific disciplines are highlighted, and some directions for future research are suggested.

The interplay between the cytokine network and antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenia remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of psychotropic medications on serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, TGF-β1, IL-17, and BAFF, and to explore their relationship with psychopathological features. We recruited 63 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in the acute phase, all of whom were either drug-naïve or had been drug-free for at least three months.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.
