Mussels enhance digestive enzyme activity in preparation for stressful fluctuating environmentsNARA Subscribed
Elevated heat and low phytoplankton abundance are physiologically and ecologically challenging marine organisms of the northeast Pacific, including the mussel Mytilus californianus . During low tide, mussels are exposed to warm air and undergo anaerobic metabolism. Tidal variation coincides with daily fluctuations in food availability requiring flexible response systems (e.g., changes in digestive enzyme activity) to maintain...
The intertidal sea mussel Mytilus californianus inhabits the Pacific coastline of North America. As a sessile organism it must cope with daily fluctuations of the marine and terrestrial environments. Organisms in stressful environments are commonly faced with energetic trade-offs between somatic and reproductive growth and stress management. Although, this energetic theory is generally accepted for mussels as well, the spectru...
Cannabidiol for the Treatment of Brain Disorders: Therapeutic Potential and Routes of AdministrationNARA Subscribed
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) for treating brain disorders has gained increasing interest. While the mechanism of action of CBD in these conditions is still under investigation, CBD has been shown to affect numerous different drug targets in the brain that are involved in brain disorders. Here we review the preclinical and clinical evidence on the potential therapeutic use of CBD in treating various brain disorders. Moreover, w...
Prolonged electronic screen use can cause digital eye strain. It can be difficult to rectify due to increasing smartphone reliance, potentially leading to serious public health problems. To investigate the association between time spent on smartphones and digital eye strain (DES) among Hong Kong Chinese school-aged children. Of a total of 1,508 students (748 males, 49.6%) from 8 to 14 years old (mean age = 10.91 years, SD = 2....
Standards of NGS Data Sharing and Analysis in Ataxias: Recommendations by the NGS Working Group of the Ataxia Global InitiativeNARA Subscribed
The Ataxia Global Initiative (AGI) is a worldwide multi-stakeholder research platform to systematically enhance trial-readiness in degenerative ataxias. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) working group of the AGI aims to improve methods, platforms, and international standards for ataxia NGS analysis and data sharing, ultimately allowing to increase the number of genetically ataxia patients amenable for natural history and tr...
