This study sought to investigate whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could alleviate cognitive dysfunction in SAMP8 mice by reducing cell apoptosis and activating the cAMP/PKA/CREB signalling pathway. A total of 40 SAMP8 mice were randomly assigned to the SAMP8 group (n=20), and rTMS treatment group (rTMS+SAMP8, n=20); additionally, 20 homologous and normal aged SAMR1 mice were used as the control group(n=20). The Morris water maze and Y maze tests were applied to evaluate spatial learning and memory ability. Haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labelling (TUNEL) were used to observe the changes in neurons in the cortex and hippocampus. Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to detect signalling related proteins. rTMS significantly improved spatial learning and memory deficits and morphological abnormalities in the hippocampus region of the hippocampus. In addition, rTMS reduced apoptosis of neurons caused by AD and the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins (Caspase-3 and Bax) and increased the expression of an antiapoptotic protein (Bcl-2). Furthermore, rTMS activated the cAMP/PKA/CREB signalling pathway. These results showed that rTMS could ameliorate cognitive deficits in AD mice by inhibiting apoptosis via activation the cAMP/PKA/CREB signalling pathway.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer, known for its lack of effective treatments and unfavorable prognosis. The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), a novel estrogen receptor, is linked to increased malignancy in various cancers. However, its involvement in the metabolic regulation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component in the tumour microenvironment, remains largely unexplored.

Background: Semen Cuscutae flavonoids (SCFs) constitute a class of metabolites of Semen Cuscutae, a botanical drug that was recently found to have an anti-depression effect. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-depression effects of SCFs in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced mice and to interrogate the underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: The CUMS mice were used for assessing the effects of SCFs treatments on depression.

Sleep deprivation or sleep loss, a prevalent issue in modern society, is linked to cognitive impairment, leading to heightened risks of errors and accidents. Chronic sleep deprivation affects various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and decision-making, and is associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular issues, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the potential of β-caryophyllene, a dietary non-psychotropic cannabinoid, and FDA-approved flavoring agent, as a therapeutic solution for sleep loss-induced cognitive impairment.

The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced testicular toxicity and testosterone reduction in rats. For this purpose, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intervened with 200 mg/kg CBZ for 12 weeks, and R2C cells were exposed to CBZ at concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 1.

Article Synopsis
- - Cocaine abuse disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by decreasing the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in brain cells, which leads to cognitive issues and increased BBB leakage.
- - The study reveals that cocaine elevates the level of miR-320a, which then reduces GLUT1 expression through the activation of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2).
- - Melatonin can help counteract cocaine-induced BBB disruption and cognitive impairment by boosting GLUT1 expression through a specific signaling pathway, suggesting it could be a potential treatment for cocaine-related problems.
