To prolong the biological effect of serotonin the latter was enclosed into liposomes. The use of liposomes of phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and dicetylphosphate in the 2:1:1 ratio permits increasing the level of serotonin incorporation inside the vesicles and reaching the slow release of serotonin out of them. It is shown by electron microscopy that sizes of liposomes enlarge due to the serotonin incorporation. When the liposomal form of serotonin is introduced to animals the amine effect on the cAMP accumulation in the liver is prolonged and intensified; an increase of the cAMP accumulation is observed in the prereplicative and replicative phases of hepatocytes synchronized by cycloheximide. The above mentioned permits a conclusion to be made that liposomes modify considerably the effect of serotonin on the cAMP system of the rat liver cells.

Higher strength and higher ductility are desirable for structural materials. However, ultrastrong alloys inevitably show decreased strain-hardening capacity, limiting their uniform elongation. We present a supranano (<10 nanometers) and short-range ordering design for grain interiors and grain boundary regions, respectively, in fine-grained alloys based on vanadium, cobalt, and nickel, with additions of tungsten, copper, aluminum, and boron.

The athlete's paradox phenomenon involves the accumulation of intramuscular triglycerides (IMTG) in both insulin-resistant and insulin-sensitive endurance athletes. Nevertheless, a complete understanding of this phenomenon is yet to be achieved. Recent research indicates that lactate, a common byproduct of physical activity, may increase the accumulation of IMTG in skeletal muscle.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) dysmetabolism, a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study unveiled a novel miRNA, microRNA-32533 (miR-32533), featuring a distinctive base sequence identified through RNA sequencing of the APPswe/PSEN1dE9 (APP/PS1) mouse brain. Its role and underlying mechanisms were subsequently explored.

Histone acetylation is the process by which histone acetyltransferases (HATs) add an acetyl group to the N-terminal lysine residues of histones, resulting in a more open chromatin structure. Histone acetylation tends to increase gene expression more than methylation does. In the central nervous system (CNS), histone acetylation is essential for controlling the expression of genes linked to cognition and learning.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a well-established target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The development of orally bioavailable and long-acting small-molecule GLP-1R agonists is a pursuit in both academia and industry. Herein, new selenium (Se)-containing compounds were designed using a Se-oxygen bioisostere strategy on the danuglipron scaffold.
