Ghrelin receptor signalling is not required for glucocorticoid-induced obesity in female mice

Author(s): Silver Z; Abbott-Tate S; Hyland L; Sherratt F; Woodside B; Abizaid A;

Chronic exposure to high circulating glucocorticoid or ghrelin concentrations increases food intake, weight gain and adiposity, suggesting that ghrelin could contribute to the metabolic effects of chronic glucocorticoids. In male mice, however, blocking ghrelin receptor (GHSR) signalling increased the weight gain and adiposity induced by chronic corticost ...

Metal Oxide Quantum Dots Embedded in Silica Matrices Made by Flame Spray Pyrolysis

Author(s): Riad KB; Hoa SV; Wood-Adams PM;

Quantum dots have unique size-dependent properties and promising applications. However, their use in many applications remains hindered by mechanical, thermal, and chemical instability and the lack of viable quantum dot mass-production processes. Embedding quantum dots in matrices such as silica counteracts the instability challenges in some applications ...

Imidazole-Mediated Dual Location Disassembly of Acid-Degradable Intracellular Drug Delivery Block Copolymer Nanoassemblies

Author(s): Jazani AM; Shetty C; Movasat H; Bawa KK; Oh JK;

Acid-degradable (or acid-cleavable) polymeric nanoassemblies have witnessed significant progress in anti-cancer drug delivery. However, conventional nanoassemblies designed with acid-cleavable linkages at a single location have several challenges, such as, sluggish degradation, undesired aggregation of degraded products, and difficulty in controlled and o ...

Specifying links between infants' theory of mind, associative learning, and selective trust

Author(s): Crivello C; Grossman S; Poulin-Dubois D;

The psychological mechanisms underlying infants' selective social learning are currently a subject of controversy. The main goal of the present study was to contribute data to this debate by investigating whether domain-specific or domain-general abilities guide infants' selectivity. Eighteen-month-olds observed a reliable and an unreliable speake ...

Threat perception: Fear and the retrorubal field

Author(s): Bradfield LA; Iordanova MD;

A new study has found that neurons within a structure of the rat midbrain known as the retrorubral field show diverse responses to stimuli that signal different levels of threat, as well as a separate pattern of diverse responses to differentially predicted aversive outcomes.

Synthetic approaches for accessing rare-earth analogues of UiO-66

Author(s): Donnarumma PR; Frojmovic S; Marino P; Bicalho HA; Titi HM; Howarth AJ;

Rare-earth (RE) analogues of UiO-66 with non-functionalised 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate linkers are synthesised for the first time, and a series of synthetic approaches is provided to troubleshoot the synthesis. RE-UiO-66 analogues are fully characterised, and demonstrate a high degree of crystallinity, high surface area and thermal stability, consistent wit ...

The effects of combined motor control and isolated extensor strengthening versus general exercise on paraspinal muscle morphology and function in patients with chronic low back pain: a randomised controlled trial protocol

Author(s): Fortin M; Rye M; Roussac A; Naghdi N; Macedo LG; Dover G; Elliott JM; DeMont R; Weber MH; Pepin V;

Background: Exercise is a common approach for the management of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP). However, there is no clear mechanistic evidence or consensus on what type of exercise is more effective than others. While considerable evidence suggests a link between lumbar m ...

Are the Allergic Reactions of COVID-19 Vaccines Caused by mRNA Constructs or Nanocarriers? Immunological Insights

Author(s): Selvaraj G; Kaliamurthi S; Peslherbe GH; Wei DQ;

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently authorized the two messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 for emergency use against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing the COVID-19 coronavirus disease. BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines were developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, respectively, in 2020 ...

Disposable masks release microplastics to the aqueous environment with exacerbation by natural weathering

Author(s): Wang Z; An C; Chen X; Lee K; Zhang B; Feng Q;

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven explosive growth in the use of masks has resulted in many issues related to the disposal and management of waste masks. As improperly disposed masks enter the ocean, the risk to the marine ecological system is further aggravated, especially in the shoreline environment. The objective of this study is to explore the changin ...
