The ability to distinguish between individuals is crucial for social species and supports behaviors such as reproduction, hierarchy formation, and cooperation. In rodents, social discrimination relies on memory and the recognition of individual-specific cues, known as "individual signatures". While olfactory signals are central, other sensory cues - such as auditory, visual, and tactile inputs - also play a role.

Brain aging is the leading risk factor for most neurodegenerative diseases and has been linked with high rates of neuron loss. Thus, identifying molecular mechanisms underlying neuron loss and pharmacological modulation may be of great importance for slowing or preventing age-related diseases. Herein, we investigated the roles of miR-92a, Akt, mTOR, and NF-κB in age-associated apoptosis in the hippocampus (a critical structure involved in brain aging) of male rats alone and in combination with prazosin.

Background: Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly, occurring in approximately 1 in 500 individuals worldwide. It is characterized by abnormalities in kidney position, rotation, and vascular supply. While often asymptomatic, horseshoe kidneys can lead to urological complications, primarily due to ureteric obstruction and impaired urinary drainage.

Alcohol consumption is believed to affect Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, but the contributing mechanisms are not well understood. A potential mediator of the proposed alcohol-AD connection is autophagy, a degradation pathway that maintains organelle and protein homeostasis. Autophagy is regulated through the activity of Transcription factor EB (TFEB), which promotes lysosome and autophagy-related gene expression.
