Novel Arsenic Nanoparticles Are More Effective and Less Toxic than As (III) to Inhibit Extracellular and Intracellular Proliferation of Leishmania donovani by Sudipta Chakraborty, Kaushik Bhar, Sandip Saha, Rajarshi Chakrabarti, Anjali Pal, Anirban Siddhanta

“…Arsenic (III) at a relatively higher concentration (30 μg/mL) has been shown to have antileishmanial activity, but this concentration is reported to be toxic in several experimental mammalian systems. Nanosized metal (0) particles have been shown to be more effective than their higher oxidation state forms. …”

Potential Role of Gene Regulator NFAT5 in the Pathogenesis of Diabetes Mellitus by Lusha Cen, Fengling Xing, Liying Xu, Yi Cao

“…Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), a Rel/nuclear factor- (NF-) κB family member, is the only known gene regulator of the mammalian adaptive response to osmotic stress. Exposure to elevated glucose increases the expression and nuclear translocation of NFAT5, as well as NFAT5-driven transcriptional activity in vivo and in vitro. …”

Chronic Fluoxetine Treatment Suppresses Plasticity (Long-Term Potentiation) in the Mature Rodent Primary Auditory Cortex In Vivo by Hans C. Dringenberg, Leora R. Branfield Day, Deanna H. Choi

“…We conclude that chronic fluoxetine treatment fails to enhance LTP in the mature rodent thalamocortical auditory system, results that bring into question the notion that SSRIs act as general facilitators of synaptic plasticity in the mammalian forebrain.…”

Strategies for Regenerating Striatal Neurons in the Adult Brain by Using Endogenous Neural Stem Cells by Kanako Nakaguchi, Hiroshi Masuda, Naoko Kaneko, Kazunobu Sawamoto

“…However, recent studies have shown that new neurons are continuously generated by endogenous neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the adult mammalian brain, including the human brain. Because some of these new neurons migrate to the injured striatum and differentiate into mature neurons, such new neurons may be able to replace degenerated neurons and improve or repair neurological deficits. …”
