Schizophrenia is a severe and debilitating psychiatric disorder that profoundly impacts cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Despite its devastating personal and societal toll, current treatments often provide only partial relief, underscoring the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. This review explores emerging approaches that target the complex neurobiological underpinnings of schizophrenia, moving beyond traditional dopamine-centric models.

Objective: This study aimed to explore differences in clinical symptom profiles and symptom network structures of inpatients with schizophrenia among early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), typical-onset schizophrenia (TOS), and late-onset schizophrenia (LOS) patients.
Methods: Symptom severity was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) in 654 EOS, 1664 TOS, and 369 LOS inpatients with schizophrenia from an open dataset. Symptom severity comparisons were conducted among the three age of onset groups.

Serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia and major depression are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, resulting in much shorter life expectancies in those affected. The discovery of antipsychotic medications ushered in improved health outcomes for people with serious mental disorders but also brought about increased morbidity due to their metabolic side effects, including obesity and diabetes mellitus. Antidepressant medications have a more favorable metabolic side effect profile, but some can still cause weight gain and hyperglycemia.

Importance: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and cognitive deficits in early childhood. However, little is known about the contributions of a wider range of inflammatory proteins to this risk.
Objective: To determine whether maternal inflammatory proteins during pregnancy are associated with the risk of NDDs and executive functions (EF) in middle childhood and to identify protein patterns associated with NDDs and EF.

Importance: Peripheral (blood-based) biomarkers for psychiatric illness could benefit diagnosis and treatment, but research to date has typically been low throughput, and traditional case-control studies are subject to potential confounds of treatment and other exposures. Large-scale 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) can examine the potentially causal impact of circulating proteins on neuropsychiatric phenotypes without these confounds.
Objective: To identify circulating proteins associated with risk for schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) as well as cognitive task performance (CTP).
