In the presented research, conventional hot processing maps superimposed over the flow stress maps or activation energy maps are utilized to study a correlation among the efficiency of power dissipation, flow stress, and activation energy evolution in the case of Cr-Mo low-alloyed steel. All maps have been assembled on the basis of two flow curve datasets. The experimental one is the result of series of uniaxial hot compression tests. The predicted one has been calculated on the basis of the subsequent approximation procedure via a well-adapted artificial neural network. It was found that both flow stress and activation energy evolution are capable of expressing changes in the studied steel caused by the hot compression deformation. A direct association with the course of power dissipation efficiency is then evident in the case of both. The connection of the presence of instability districts to the activation energy evolution, flow stress course, and power dissipation efficiency was discussed further. Based on the obtained findings it can be stated that the activation energy processing maps represent another tool for the finding of appropriate forming conditions and can be utilized as a support feature for the conventionally-used processing maps to extend their informative ability.

Background: Immunotherapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a promising approach to reducing the accumulation of beta-amyloid, a critical event in the onset of the disease. Targeting the group II metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGluR2 and mGluR3, could be important in controlling Aβ production, although their respective contribution remains unclear due to the lack of selective tools.
Method: 5xFAD mice were chronically treated by a brain penetrant camelid single domain antibody (VHH or nanobody) that is an activator of mGluR2.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily associated with aging, but manifests as a complex interplay of multiple factors. Decline in sex-hormones, particularly 17-beta estradiol, is linked to the aging process. The risk for onset of AD significantly increases with aging and loss of estradiol.

Various proteins are being targeted for the development of novel molecular therapeutics; however, no small-molecule inhibitors have been discovered. Recent studies suggest that there are few molecules in clinical trials for various secretase (α, β, and γ), caspase, and calpain inhibitors.

Background: The risk of cognitive decline in cancer survivors may be increased by platinum-based chemotherapy. Evidence indicates that physical exercise has a potential to reduce chemotherapy-related toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess effects of a 6-month aerobic-strength training on cognitive functions, metabolic flexibility, anthropometric parameters and physical fitness in testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) survivors, treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a crucial role in regulation of metabolic homeostasis. To understand the role of the catalytic α2 subunit of AMPK in skeletal muscle energy metabolism, myotube cultures were established from and mice. Myotubes from mice had lower basal oleic acid and glucose oxidation compared to myotubes from mice.
