The cerebellum, a key target of ethanol's toxic effects, is associated with ataxia following alcohol consumption. However, the impact of ethanol on Purkinje cell (PC) mitochondria remains unclear. To investigate how ethanol administration affects mitochondrial dynamics in cerebellar Purkinje cells, we employed a transgenic mouse model expressing mitochondria-targeted yellow fluorescent protein in Purkinje cells (PC-mito-eYFP).

C1q/TNF-related protein 14 (CTRP14), also known as C1q-like 1 (C1QL1), is a synaptic protein predominantly expressed in the brain. It plays a critical role in the formation and maintenance of the climbing fiber-Purkinje cell synapses, ensuring that only one single winning climbing fiber from the inferior olivary neuron synapses with the proximal dendrites of Purkinje cells during the early postnatal period. Loss of CTRP14/C1QL1 results in incomplete elimination of supernumerary climbing fibers, leading to multiple persistent climbing fibers synapsing with the Purkinje cells.

In this paper, we present CardioMat, a Matlab toolbox for cardiac electrophysiology simulation based on patient-specific anatomies. The strength of CardioMat is the easy and fast construction of electrophysiology cardiac digital twins from segmented anatomical images in a general-purpose software such as Matlab. CardioMat implements a quasi-automatic pipeline that guides the user toward the construction of anatomically detailed cardiac electrophysiology models.

Morphogens choreograph the generation of remarkable cellular diversity in the developing nervous system. Differentiation of stem cells in vitro often relies upon the combinatorial modulation of these signaling pathways. However, the lack of a systematic approach to understand morphogen-directed differentiation has precluded the generation of many neural cell populations, and the general principles of regional specification and maturation remain incomplete.

Depression is a persistent illness affecting health, behavior, and performance in life. Worldwide morbidity and mortality are caused by depression. The current study intended to explore fumaric acid's potential protective effect against ciprofloxacin-provoked depression in rats and to determine its mechanism of action by studying its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
