Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to disturbed brain discharge rhythm, elevated excitability, anxiety-like behaviors, and decreased learning and memory capabilities. Cognitive dysfunctions severely affect the quality of life and prognosis of TBI patients, requiring effective rehabilitation treatment. Evidence indicates that moderate exercise after brain injury decreases TBI-induced cognitive decline. However, the underlying m...

Further insights on the secondary metabolites of a soft coral-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor under the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking led to the isolation of seven known cycloheptapeptides, namely, asperversiamides A–C ( 1 – 3 ) and asperheptatides A–D ( 4 – 7 ) and an unusual pyrroloindoline-containing new cycloheptapeptide, asperpyrroindotide A ( 8 ). The structure of 8 was elucidated by comprehensive sp...
