The notion of mixed states is classically associated with descriptions and categories inherited from Kraepelin. However, simultaneous descriptions of depressive and manic manifestations can be traced back to ancient times. Semiology and definitions of these clinical associations have evolved across the times. We provide here a short insight on four distinct periods: Greek authors from ancient times, pre-Kraepelinian psychiatry (18th and 19th centuries), Kraepelin's conceptualization, and contemporary psychiatry (20th and 21st centuries).

Squamate reptiles may have compensated for the lack of γδTCR with a duplication of the TRB locus.

Front Immunol

January 2025

Center for Evolutionary and Theoretical Immunology, Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, United States.

Squamate reptiles are amongst the most successful terrestrial vertebrate lineages, with over 10,000 species across a broad range of ecosystems. Despite their success, squamates are also amongst the least studied lineages immunologically. Recently, a universal lack of γδ T cells in squamates due to deletions of the genes encoding the T cell receptor (TCR) γ and δ chains was discovered.

Mountains with complex terrain and steep environmental gradients are biodiversity hotspots such as the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, it is generally assumed that mountain terrain plays a secondary role in plant species assembly on a millennial time-scale compared to climate change. Here, we investigate plant richness and community changes during the last 18,000 years at two sites: Lake Naleng and Lake Ximen on the eastern TP with similar elevation and climatic conditions but contrasting terrain.

Dating the bacterial tree of life based on ancient symbiosis.

Syst Biol

January 2025

Simon F. S. Li Marine Science Laboratory, School of Life Sciences and State Key Laboratory of Agrobiotechnology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong SAR.

Obtaining a timescale for bacterial evolution is crucial to understand early life evolution but is difficult owing to the scarcity of bacterial fossils. Here, we introduce multiple new time constraints to calibrate bacterial evolution based on ancient symbiosis. This idea is implemented using a bacterial tree constructed with genes found in the mitochondrial lineages phylogenetically embedded within Proteobacteria.

Anti-arthritic potential of crude sulfated polysaccharide from marine macroalgae (Turner) C. Agardh: Regulation of cytokine cascade.

Biomol Concepts

Division of Pharmacology, School of Medical and Life Sciences, Sunway University, No. 5, Jalan Universiti, Bandar Sunway, 47500 Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.

Seaweeds have been utilized as food, fodder, fertilizer, and medicine since ancient times; nevertheless, they have received only a little attention. In the current work, we extracted the sulfated polysaccharide from a marine source and investigated its anti-arthritic potential . The isolated and freeze-dried polysaccharide was tested for acute oral toxicity based on OECD 423.
