CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC ADAPTIONS IN STRIATAL MEDIUM-SIZED SPINY NEURONS AND THEIR ROLES IN BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES TO DRUGS OF ABUSE

Cell-Type-Specific Adaptions in Striatal Medium-Sized Spiny Neurons and Their Roles in Behavioral Responses to Drugs of Abuse

Drug addiction is defined as a compulsive pattern of drug-seeking- and taking- behavior, with recurrent episodes of abstinence and relapse, and a loss of control despite negative consequences.Addictive drugs promote reinforcement by increasing dopamine in the mesocorticolimbic system, which alters excitatory glutamate transmission within the reward

Time line of redox events in aging postmitotic cells

The precise roles that oxidants play in lifespan and aging are still unknown.Here, we report the discovery that chronologically aging yeast cells undergo a sudden redox collapse, which affects over 80% of identified thiol-containing proteins.We present evidence that this redox collapse is not triggered by an increase in endogenous oxidants as would

Endovascular Strategies in the Management of Acute Limb Ischemia

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) represents one of the most common emergent scenarios encountered by babies a vascular specialist.Despite expedient revascularization, high rates of limb loss are reported along with high mortality rates which are second only to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.Surgical revascularization is standard of care.Endovascular
