Article Abstract

is a remarkable source of bioactive compounds, with over 150 distinct phytocannabinoids identified to date. Among these, cannabinoids are gaining attention as potential therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases. Previous research showed that cannabinol (CBN), a minor cannabinoid derived from Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol, exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial effects. The objective of this study was to assess the protective potential of 24 h CBN pre-treatment, applied at different concentrations (5 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, 50 µM, and 100 µM), in differentiated neuroblastoma × spinal cord (NSC-34) cells. Transcriptomic analysis was performed using next-generation sequencing techniques. Our results reveal that CBN had no negative impact on cell viability at the tested concentrations. Instead, it showed a significant effect on stress response and neuroplasticity-related processes. Specifically, based on the Reactome database, the biological pathways mainly perturbed by CBN pre-treatment were investigated. This analysis highlighted a significant enrichment in the Reactome pathway's cellular response to stress, cellular response to stimuli, and axon guidance. Overall, our results suggest that CBN holds promise as an adjuvant agent for neurodegenerative diseases by modulating genes involved in neuronal cell survival and axon guidance.

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of automated activity monitoring (AAM) in detecting estrous expression and ovulatory status in cows during the voluntary waiting period (VWP). A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using specific search terms. Inclusion criteria focused on studies that assessed estrous expression within the VWP using modern AAM systems alongside blood progesterone (P4) measurements.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm characterized by an expansion of CD123 monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). pDC bone marrow clusters in CMML have been associated with higher rates of acute myeloid leukemia transformation. We evaluated tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, in a phase 1/2 trial for patients with CMML.

Active matter, encompassing both natural and artificial systems, utilizes environmental energy to sustain autonomous motion, exhibiting unique non-equilibrium behaviors. Artificial active matter (AAM), such as nano/micromotors, holds transformative potential in precision medicine by enhancing drug delivery and enabling targeted therapeutic interventions. Under the demand for increasing intelligence in AAM, controlling their non-equilibrium processes within complex in vivo environments presents significant challenges.

Mental fatigue (MF) is a complex phenomenon with significant implications for human performance, for which there are numerous studies investigating the effects of MF. Nevertheless, there is considerable variability in the approaches used to induce and quantify MF, making it hard to compare findings across studies and draw well-supported conclusions. This review addresses the methodological variability in the induction and quantification methods of MF in movement science in the following ways: on the one hand, by providing an overview of task design strategies to induce MF, emphasizing the importance of tailoring task duration, difficulty, and nature to individual participants and specific research contexts; on the other hand, by providing an overview of current methods used to quantify MF, including behavioural, subjective, and physiological measures, and highlighting the strengths and limitations of each.
