Impact of Incretin-Based Therapies on Adipokines and Adiponectin by Habib Yaribeygi, Mina Maleki, Stephen L. Atkin, Tannaz Jamialahmadi, Amirhossein Sahebkar

“…Incretin-based therapy is a newly introduced class of antidiabetic drugs that restores euglycemia through several cellular processes; however, its effect on adipokines expression/secretion is not fully understood. In this review, we propose that incretin-based therapy may function through adipokine modulation that may result in pharmacologic properties beyond their direct antidiabetic effects, resulting in better management of diabetes and diabetes-related complications.…”

Reviving/Revising “Lycidas”: Virginia Woolf’s Elegy to Unborn Poets in A Room of One’s Own by Marie Laniel

“…The epitome of late Renaissance pastoral elegy, “Lycidas” haunts many a Modernist poem or novel, from The Waste Land to Ulysses, as a contested subtext, the expression of a poetics of grief that could no longer hold after the First World War, and yet whose grip on the Modernist imagination remained strong. …”

TLR Specific Immune Responses against Helminth Infections by Sivaprakasam Rajasekaran, Rajamanickam Anuradha, Ramalingam Bethunaickan

“…Despite infection, an asymptomatic state may be maintained by the host immunoregulatory environment, which involves multiple levels of regulatory cells and cytokines; a breakdown of this regulation is observed in pathological disease. The role of TLR expression and function in relation to intracellular parasites has been documented but limited studies are available for multicellular helminth parasites. …”

Mechanisms Underlying Tolerance after Long-Term Benzodiazepine Use: A Future for Subtype-Selective GABAA Receptor Modulators? by Christiaan H. Vinkers, Berend Olivier

“…In light of this evidence, we review the current evidence for the neuroadaptive mechanisms underlying benzodiazepine tolerance, including changes of (i) the GABAA receptor (subunit expression and receptor coupling), (ii) intracellular changes stemming from transcriptional and neurotrophic factors, (iii) ionotropic glutamate receptors, (iv) other neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine systems), and (v) the neurosteroid system. …”

Philosophical biography : some problems of conceptualization by Irina Polyakova

“…“Philosophical biography” is defined as an understanding of human life, which has received not only a literary but also a philosophical form of expression. It shows that philosophical biography has a variety of features, which limit the applications of chronology, rubrication and other principles of organizing in a linear manner the material of a biography. …”
