Protocol for microinjection of rapamycin into the zebrafish habenula by Olga Doszyn, Tomasz Dulski, Justyna Zmorzynska

“…Summary: Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTorC1) activity plays a crucial role in brain development. Here, we present an approach for rapamycin microinjection into the habenula of larval zebrafish to achieve localized inhibition of the mTorC1 pathway and explore the role of mTorC1 in habenula function. …”

Psychosis of Epilepsy: An Update on Clinical Classification and Mechanism by Zhiruo Qiu, Jiahui Guo, Bofei Chen, Jiajia Fang

“…Additionally, we examine the potential pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the psychosis of epilepsy from three perspectives: neuroimaging, neurobiology, and genetics. The alterations in brain structure and function, neurotransmitters, neuroinflammatory mediators, and genetic factors discussed in this review may offer insights into the onset and progression of psychotic symptoms in epilepsy patients and are anticipated to inform the identification of novel therapeutic targets in the future.…”

Utilisation of High Molecular Weight and Ultra-High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan in Management of Glioblastoma by Alex-Adrian Salagean, Cezara-Anca-Denisa Moldovan, Mark Slevin

“…Considering the limited treatment options available in the treatment of glioblastoma, in this review, we discuss the novel utilisation of ultra-high molecular weight HA—originally identified as a mechanism for maintaining longevity in the naked mole-rat—as both a protective and extracellular matrix-optimizing colloidal scaffold, and a means to deliver therapy in resected brain tumours. The unique properties of this unique form of HA cross-linked gel indicate potential future use in the prevention and treatment of both proliferative-based and inflammation-driven disease.…”
