Low-frequency vertical vibration for 2 hours together with three-fold increase of glucocorticoids is accompanied by the disruption of typical relationships of neuromediator processes (norepinephrine- and serotoninergic mediation) as well as the reduction of the intensity of choline trapping with glucocorticoid perception. Glucocorticoid-related conformation changes in plasma membranes and a drastic increase of the cAMP level provide plasticity of both nonspecific (hypothalamus, raphe bluish sites and nuclei) and specific (Deiters' nuclei) structures. The relationships of neuromediator processes in different CNS structures depend on the content of glucocorticoids. This should be taken into consideration when developing pathogenetically adequate methods for restoring the vestibular component of the motion sickness syndrome.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, chronic inflammation and airway remodeling (AR) in airways and lung parenchyma. AR, a lung response, involves mucus production, airflow issues, and structural changes. It is exacerbated by neurogenic inflammation from activated sensory nerves, highlighting the interplay between neuronal and immune regulation in COPD.

Background: Migraine is the most common primary headache in children. Neuromediators and deterioration in circadian rhythm and sleep disorders can play a role in the etiology of migraines.
Aim: To determine the serum melatonin levels of children with migraine and the relationship between melatonin and childhood migraine.

Stem and progenitor cells are characterized by peculiar mechanisms of hormonal regulation. Here we describe a protocol of analysis of hormonal cross-talk in adipose tissue derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Specifically, cells were treated by a "sensitizing" hormone/neuromediator followed by the measurement of cellular Ca2+ response to the "readout" hormone after various time intervals.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common neuropsychiatric challenge that primarily targets young females. MDD as a global disorder has a multifactorial etiology related to the environment and genetic background. A balanced gut microbiota is one of the most important environmental factors involved in human physiological health.

Even though cancer patients are generally considered more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the mechanisms driving their predisposition to severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not yet been deciphered. Since metabolic disorders are associated with homeostatic frailty, which increases the risk of infection and cancer, we asked whether we could identify immunometabolic pathways intersecting with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thanks to a combined flow cytometry and multiomics approach, here we show that the immunometabolic traits of COVID-19 cancer patients encompass alterations in the frequency and activation status of circulating myeloid and lymphoid subsets, and that these changes are associated with i) depletion of tryptophan and its related neuromediator tryptamine, ii) accumulation of immunosuppressive tryptophan metabolites (i.
