In the CA1 region of mouse hippocampal slices, a strong tetanic stimulation triggers a long-lasting long-term potentiation (L-LTP), which requires transcription for the development of its late phase. Nevertheless, we were able to elicit such an L-LTP in CA1 dendrites separated from their somas provided that we restricted our investigations to isolated dendrites where a very robust early LTP was triggered. This particular type of L-LTP, which relied on translation of preexisting messenger RNAs - as it was blocked by anisomycin - could not be captured by another pathway activated only by a weak tetanic stimulation. This suggests that the plasticity-related proteins resulting from translation of messenger RNAs in dendrites cannot pass from the synaptic site where they were synthesized to another one.

Previous studies have shown that astrocyte activation in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), accompanied by upregulation of the astrocyte marker S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), contributes to comorbid anxiety in chronic inflammatory pain (CIP), but the exact downstream mechanism is still being explored. The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) plays an important role in chronic pain and psychosis by recognizing ligands, including S100B. Therefore, we speculate that RAGE may be involved in astrocyte regulation of the comorbidity between CIP and anxiety by recognizing S100B.

In our research, we performed temporal transcriptomic profiling of host cells infected with Equid alphaherpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) by utilizing direct cDNA sequencing based on nanopore MinION technology. The sequencing reads were harnessed for transcript quantification at various time points. Viral infection-induced differential gene expression was identified through the edgeR package.

Intestinal fibrosis, as a late-stage complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leads to bowel obstruction and requires surgical intervention, significantly lowering the quality of life of affected patients. SAA3, a highly conserved member of the serum amyloid A (SAA) apolipoprotein family in mice, is synthesized primarily as an acute phase reactant in response to infection, inflammation and trauma. An increasing number of evidence suggests that SAA3 exerts a vital role in the fibrotic process, even though the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully comprehended.

: The aim of this study is to assess the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the identification of direct and indirect ultrasonographic features of adenomyosis as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) consensus (2022). : A cohort of 74 women, aged 18 to 45, were recruited from the recurrent miscarriage and general gynaecology clinic at a university-based fertility centre. All the participants underwent 2D and 3D transvaginal Ultrasound scan (TVS) examination in the late follicular and early luteal phase.
