Much is known about the use, benefits, and side-effects, of clozapine in treatment resistant schizophrenia (TRS). However, why clozapine is more effective than other antipsychotics in TRS remains unclear. This paper addresses this question. TRS patients show glutamate abnormalities, and clozapine has widespread effects on glutamate. However, these actions have not been proven different to those of other antipsychotics. Immune dysfunction is also reported in TRS, and clozapine has anti-inflammatory actions, but these have not been correlated with clinical improvement. Currently, there is much i

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease pathology can be accurately identified with blood biomarkers (core 1 biomarkers), including plasma p-tau217 tests. Biomarkers that change longitudinally after diagnosis (core 2 biomarkers) can increase confidence that Alzheimer's disease pathology is contributing to cognitive symptoms. Plasma eMTBR-tau243 reflects tau tangle pathology and is a promising core 2 biomarker. We aimed to examine whether, among patients positive for plasma p-tau217, plasma eMTBR-tau243 improves classification of established Alzheimer's disease and predicts cognitive decline and tau ta

How cellular metabolism facilitates tissue-resident macrophage maintenance remains elusive. Here we show that visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-resident macrophages, unlike monocyte-derived macrophages, are enriched with mitochondrial-specific antioxidant enzymes restraining inflammation and promoting VAT homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, VAT resident macrophages express high levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2, encoded by SerpinB2, which is involved in the blood coagulation cascade. SerpinB2 promotes adipose resident macrophage survival by regulating mitochondrial ox

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disorder that causes chronic pain, inflammation, and detrimental bone alterations. Despite significant advances in understanding OA pathogenesis, current therapeutic strategies remain inadequate in halting disease progression or providing effective pain relief, highlighting unmet clinical needs. Recent insights into OA nociceptive pathways, inflammatory mediators, and organelle dysfunction have revealed promising therapeutic targets. Specifically, OA progression is driven by mitochondrial dysfunction (marked by accumulated damaged mitochondria with e

Mitochondrial dysfunction represents a central hallmark of aging and a broad spectrum of chronic diseases, ranging from metabolic to neurodegenerative and ocular disorders. Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a vitamin B3 derivative and efficient precursor of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid widely investigated in metabolic regulation, have independently emerged as promising mitochondrial modulators. NR enhances cellular NAD+ pools, thereby activating sirtuin-dependent pathways, stimulating PGC-1α–mediated mitochondrial biogenesis, and triggering

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible visual impairment in the elderly, and oxidative stress, primarily mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is widely recognized as a central driver of its onset and progression. The retina is highly susceptible to oxidative damage due to its elevated oxygen consumption, abundant polyunsaturated fatty acids, and continuous exposure to light. Recent studies have elucidated molecular mechanisms in which mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of redox homeostasis, inflammation, and complement activation interact to promote

Hormone receptor-positive (HR +) and HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers represent a biologically unique subset of breast malignancies characterized by the co-expression of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). These cancers exhibit distinct molecular features, often leading to aggressive growth and higher recurrence rates. HR+/HER2+ breast cancer cells can utilize estrogen and HER2-driven signaling pathways to promote proliferation, survival, and metastatic potential, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for treat

Polyphenols are bioactive molecules that occur naturally in plants and exhibit a diverse array of properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects, all of which have been supported by numerous studies. They are categorized into four main groups: flavonoids, phenolic acids, stilbenes, and lignans. Polyphenols demonstrate a wide range of health-promoting effects throughout human life, from the womb to old age. They can exert these effects by modulating signaling pathways, regulating gut microbiota, influencing gene expression, and regulating epigenetic pathways. Thi

Abstract Mammalian preimplantation embryo development is a complex sequence of events. This period of development is sensitive to oxygen (O 2 ) levels that can affect various cellular processes. We compared the influence of O 2 tension by culturing embryos either in normoxic (20% O 2 ) or physiological hypoxic (6% O 2 ) conditions, or sequential low O 2 concentration starting with 6% O 2 until 16-cell stage and then switching to ultrahypoxic conditions (2% O 2 ). Due to ethical concerns, we used bovine as an animal model with a good similarity of embryogenesis to human. We found that the cleav
