The importance of tryptophan endogenous metabolites kynurenines in the long-term memory and functioning of the signal cascade GluR - LIMK1 - F-actin, mediating the long-term memory trace storage, was demonstrated. The deficit of kynurenines induced by allopurinol (tryptophanoxygenase inhibitor) suppressed the long-term memory, decreased the LIMK1 expression, and paradoxically increased the F-actin content in the honeybee brain. These data agree with the earlier findings in drosophila mutant vermilion (the mutation of tryptophanoxygenase gene).

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) emerge as a promising cancer immunotherapy. However, the temporal impact on tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment, and the nature of anti-tumor immunity post-therapy remain largely unclear. Here we report that CD4 T cells are required for durable tumor control in syngeneic murine models of glioblastoma multiforme after treatment with an oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) engineered to express IL-12.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by memory loss and neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathologies, but whether and how these factors differentially disrupt neural circuits remains unclear. Here, we investigated the vulnerability of memory and emotional circuits to Aβ and tau pathologies in mice expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (APP), Tau or both APP/Tau in excitatory neurons. APP/Tau mice develop age- and sex-dependent Aβ and phosphorylated tau pathologies, the latter exacerbated at early stages, in vulnerable brain regions.

Over time, the importance of virtual power plants (VPP) has markedly risen to seamlessly incorporate the sporadic nature of renewable energy sources into the existing smart grid framework. Simultaneously, there is a growing need for advanced forecasting methods to bolster the grid's stability, flexibility, and dispatchability. This paper presents a dual-pronged, innovative approach to maximize income in the day-ahead power market through VPP.

Successful immunotherapy requires systemic activation of the immune system. Radio-immunotherapy has a synergistic effect, enhancing this activation, but still faces many challenges, requiring methods to further improve its efficacy. Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is considered a potential therapeutic agent because of its broad immunoregulatory activity.

Background: Existing deep learning studies for the automated detection of hip prosthesis failure only consider the last available radiographic image. However, using longitudinal data is thought to improve the prediction, by combining temporal and spatial components. The aim of this study is to develop artificial intelligence models for predicting hip implant failure from multiple subsequent plain radiographs.
