ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels Alter Glycolytic Flux to Modulate Cortical Activity and Sleep

KATP Channels Modulate Cortical Activity and Sleep by Regulating Glycolytic Flux Academic Background Glucose serves not only as the primary energy source for the brain but also as a biosynthetic substrate for neurotransmitter synthesis. Changes in glycolytic flux can alter neurotransmitter synthesis, thereby modulating cortical electroencephalograp...

A Hormone-to-Neuropeptide Pathway Inhibits Sexual Receptivity in Immature Drosophila Females

Study on Hormone-Neuropeptide Pathway Inhibiting Sexual Receptivity in Immature Drosophila Females Academic Background Sexual maturation is a critical developmental event in the transition from juvenile to adult, accompanied by multiple physiological and behavioral changes. In Drosophila, the process of transition from an asexual state to sexual ma...

Estrogen Deficiency Alters Vascularization and Mineralization Dynamics: Insight from a Novel 3-D Humanized and Vascularized Bone Organoid Model

The Impact of Estrogen Deficiency on Vascularization and Mineralization Dynamics—Insights from a Novel 3D Humanized and Vascularized Bone Organoid Model Academic Background Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, particularly prevalent among postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis not only manifests as a reduction in bone mass but also involves changes i...
