- Nanodevice-Mediated Immune Cell Recruitment: Targeting Senescent Cells via MMP-3-Responsive CXCL12-Coated Nanoparticlesby Blanca Escriche-Navarro on January 21, 2025
Senescent cells are involved in age-related disorders in different organs and are therapeutic targets for fibrotic and chronic pathologies. Immune-modulating agents, able to enhance senescent cell detection and elimination by endogenous immune cells, have emerged as pharmacological strategies. We report herein a nanoparticle for immune cell-mediated senolytic therapy designed to recruit immune cells in response to specific enzymatic matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) activity in the...
- Correlates of impaired sleep duration among adults with trauma alone and with posttraumatic stress disorderby John L Havlik on January 21, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired sleep duration among individuals with trauma/PTSD is highly multifactorial. While trauma and PTSD contribute to sleep disturbances, other factors such as psychiatric and medical comorbidities play significant roles; impaired sleep in trauma/PTSD may be better understood through the lens of allostatic load. Addressing these comorbid factors alongside trauma/PTSD may improve treatment outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
- Evaluation of the core muscles of children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis using shear wave elastography: a preliminary studyby Muhammed Selçuk Sinanoğlu on January 21, 2025
The purpose of this study was to determine any changes in the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles, which are core muscles, in children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis (NE) using the shear wave elastography (SWE). In this case-control study, the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles of 40 children and adolescents with NE and 40 healthy controls were evaluated. The rectus abdominis muscle was examined at the right supra- and subumbilical levels, and the diaphragm at the right 9th-10th...
- Clinical Pharmacokinetics of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT): A Systematic Review and Post-hoc Analysisby K V van der Heijden on January 21, 2025
CONCLUSION: This review demonstrates that the PK of DMT in humans have been characterized to a limited extent, and publications lack details with regards to demographics, absolute doses, and PK parameters. Additional studies are necessary to investigate high intersubject variability and differences in exposure following bolus or prolonged infusion. Addressing these issues is essential for the development of DMT as a pharmacotherapeutic in neuropsychiatry.
