PSD-95 is a component and a building block of an excitatory synapse. PSD-95 is a specialized protein that is part of a "combination lock" system responsible for plastic events at the synapse, such as receptor expression, which consequently induces changes in the PSD structure and thus affects synaptic plasticity. The possible involvement of PSD-95 in antidepressant side effects related to cognitive function and psychosis will be considered. An attempt will be made to trace the sequence of events in the proposed mechanism leading to these disorders, focusing mainly on NMDA receptors. Understanding the mechanisms of action of compounds with antidepressant potential may facilitate the design of safer drugs.

Background: Workplace bullying (WPB) is common in nursing profession, leading to adverse effects on nurses' health and teamwork.

Therefore, this study aims to examine how PsyCap moderates the relationship between WPB and emotional exhaustion in nurses.

Background: The retinal degenerative diseases retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and atrophic age- related macular degeneration (AMD) are characterized by vision loss from photoreceptor (PR) degeneration. Unfortunately, current treatments for these diseases are limited at best. Genetic and other preclinical evidence suggest a relationship between retinal degeneration and inflammation.
