Laser-scanning astrocyte mapping reveals increased glutamate-responsive domain size and disrupted maturation of glutamate uptake following neonatal cortical freeze-lesion

Astrocytic uptake of glutamate shapes extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics, receptor activation, and synaptogenesis.During development, glutamate transport becomes more robust.How neonatal brain insult affects the functional maturation of glutamate transport remains unanswered.Neonatal brain insult can lead to developmental delays, cognitive los

Circ_0008315 promotes tumorigenesis and cisplatin resistance and acts as a nanotherapeutic target in gastric cancer

Abstract Introduction Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is one of the fundamental therapeutic modalities for gastric cancer (GC).Chemoresistance to cisplatin is a great clinical challenge, and its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathophysiology of multiple human malignancies.Methods High-throug
