In recent years, toxic metal pollution has become a serious problem, and its influence on human society and the ecological environment has become a hot topic for people. Toxic metal pollution is ubiquitous in the environment, and it can affect the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms through food chain transmission. In this study, we ...

The gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex network of neurons and glial cells, also called the "second brain". Enteric glial cells, one of the major cell types in the ENS, are located throughout the entire gut wall. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated their critical requirement for gut physiology. Not...

Research on child and adolescent psychopathology
Adverse experiences before the age of eighteen are common and include diverse events ranging from sexual abuse to parental divorce. These stressful experiences have been linked to physical and mental health issues. Previous research has focused mainly on childhood adversity, such as experiences in the family environment. Little consideration has be...

Since 20 years of research, free fatty acids receptors (FFARs) have received considerable attention in mammals. To date, four FFARs (FFAR1, FFAR2, FFAR3 and FFAR4) are especially studied owing to their physiological importance in various biological processes. This ubiquitist group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are majors reports in the key...

During human childhood, brain development and body growth compete for limited metabolic resources, resulting in a trade-off where energy allocated to brain development can decrease as body growth accelerates. This preregistered study explores the potential links between language skills, used as a proxy for brain development, and body mass index at ...

A LIM homeodomain transcription factor Apterous (Ap) regulates embryonic and larval neurodevelopment in Drosophila. Although Ap is still expressed in the adult brain, it remains elusive whether Ap is involved in neurodevelopmental events in the adult brain because flies homozygous for ap mutations are usually lethal before they reach the adult stag...

Loss-of-function mutations in the contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) gene are causal for neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and intellectual disability. CNTNAP2 encodes CASPR2, a single-pass transmembrane protein that belongs to the neurexin family of cell adhesion molecules. These proteins have a va...

Arsenic (As) is a persistent toxic substance, however, its toxicity to marine zooplankton remains unclear. In this study, copepods were exposed to a series of dissolved arsenate (As(V)) for four generations (F0-F3) and subsequently depurated in clean seawater for two generations (F4-F5) to assess multigenerational toxicity of As(V). As(V) exposure ...
