Hypoglycemia promotes inner blood-retinal barrier breakdown and retinal vascular leakage in diabetic mice.

The blood-retinal barrier (BRB) serves as a physiological boundary regulating the passage of nutrients, waste, ions, proteins, and water to and from the retina. In patients with diabetic retinopathy, breakdown of the inner BRB (iBRB) results in damage to the neurovascular unit and is a principal cause of vision loss in the diabetic population. Here, we demonstrate that hypoglycemia, a common consequence of tight glycemic control and high glycemic variability, results in accumulation of the transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and HIF-2α and the expression of dozens of HIF-dependent vasoactive mediators in the mouse retina.

Advances in EEG-based detection of Major Depressive Disorder using shallow and deep learning techniques: A systematic review.

The contemporary diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) primarily relies on subjective assessments and self-reported measures, often resulting in inconsistent and imprecise evaluations. To address this issue and facilitate early intervention, there is a growing interest in utilizing objective criteria such as Electroencephalography (EEG) features analyzed through Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. This systematic review explores the advances in EEG-based detection of MDD using both shallow and deep learning methods, with the aim of enhancing understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the disorder and identifying potential biomarkers for its diagnosis.

Lignature: A Comprehensive Database of Ligand Signatures to Predict Cell-Cell Communication.

Ligand-receptor interactions mediate intercellular communication, inducing transcriptional changes that regulate physiological and pathological processes. Ligand-induced transcriptomic signatures can be used to predict active ligands; however, the absence of a comprehensive set of ligand-response signatures has limited their practical application in predicting ligand-receptor interactions. To bridge this gap, we developed Lignature, a curated database encompassing intracellular transcriptomic signatures for 362 human ligands, significantly expanding the repertoire of ligands with available intracellular response signatures.
