  1. Book Review: Bad medicine

    Richard Smith
    In his new book Ben Goldacre argues that the pharmaceutical industry is in poor health and in urgent need of treatment.

    Agonist-specific voltage-dependent gating of lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels

    Xiaoli Zhang, Wei Chen ... Haoxing Xu
    Tricyclic antidepressants activate lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels in a voltage-dependent manner.
    1. Neuroscience

    HCN2 channels in the ventral tegmental area regulate behavioral responses to chronic stress

    Peng Zhong, Casey R Vickstrom ... Qing-song Liu
    HCN2 channels in the ventral tegmental area play an important role in the pathophysiology of chronic mild stress-induced behavioral deficits.
    1. Cell Biology

    Nanchangmycin regulates FYN, PTK2, and MAPK1/3 to control the fibrotic activity of human hepatic stellate cells

    Wenyang Li, Jennifer Y Chen ... Alan C Mullen
    A high-throughput small molecule screen defined compounds that inactivate primary human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and led to the identification of nanchangmycin, which regulates intracellular Ca2+ levels and the activity of multiple kinases to control HSC fibrotic activity.
    1. Neuroscience

    The cation channel mechanisms of subthreshold inward depolarizing currents in the mice VTA dopaminergic neurons and their roles in the chronic-stress-induced depression-like behavior

    Jing Wang, Min Su ... Hailin Zhang
    NALCN and TRPC6 drive the subthreshold depolarization of VTA DA neurons and down regulation of TRPC6 contributes to reduced VTA DA neuron firing and chronic stress-induced depression-like behavior of mice.
    1. Neuroscience

    Chronic social isolation reduces 5-HT neuronal activity via upregulated SK3 calcium-activated potassium channels

    Derya Sargin, David K Oliver, Evelyn K Lambe
    Serotonin neurons in chronically isolated mice become less responsive to excitatory stimulation, but inhibiting a distinctive calcium-activated potassium channel can restore both neuronal activity and behavior.

    2. Neuroscience

    Retinoic acid-induced protein 14 controls dendritic spine dynamics associated with depressive-like behaviors

    Soo Jeong Kim, Youngsik Woo ... Sang Ki Park
    Rai14-Tara complex enhances the stability of dendritic spines and synaptic connections relevant to depressive-like behaviors.
    1. Neuroscience

    A prediction model of working memory across health and psychiatric disease using whole-brain functional connectivity

    Masahiro Yamashita, Yujiro Yoshihara ... Hiroshi Imamizu
    Human neuroimaging and machine learning reveals a generalizable relationship between brain connectivity and working memory ability across healthy populations and distinct psychiatric diagnoses.

    2. Neuroscience

    Suppression of transcriptional drift extends C. elegans lifespan by postponing the onset of mortality

    Sunitha Rangaraju, Gregory M Solis ... Michael Petrascheck
    A transcriptome-based metric for aging reveals a longevity mechanism that specifically prolongs the duration of young adulthood rather than slowing overall aging.
    1. Cell Biology

    Exercise promotes the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) through the action of the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate

    Sama F Sleiman, Jeffrey Henry ... Moses V Chao
    A potential link between metabolic changes resulting from exercise and gene expression in the brain has been revealed.
