Sigma-1 receptor activation mediates the sustained antidepressant effect of ketamine in mice via increasing BDNF levels Posted on December 25, 2023 by admin

Abstract: Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is a unique multi-tasking chaperone protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. Since S1R agonists exhibit potent antidepressant-like activity, S1R has become a novel target for antidepression therapy. With a rapid and sustained antidepressant effect, ketamine may also … Continue reading →

Lithium treatment for an animal model of autism spectrum disorder Posted on December 8, 2023 by admin

Abstract Background: Tbr1 encodes a T-box transcription factor and is considered a high confidence autism spectrum disorder (ASD) gene. Tbr1 is expressed in the postmitotic excitatory neurons of the deep neocortical layers 5 and 6. Postnatally and neonatally, Tbr1 conditional … Continue reading →

Blocking SIG1R Along with Low Cadmium Exposure Display Anti-cancer Qualities in Both MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 Cells Posted on December 2, 2023 by admin

Abstract: Sigma-1 receptor (SIG1R) is a chaperone that modulates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type1 (IP3R1) calcium (Ca2+) channels on the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, SIG1R functions as an indirect regulator of Ca2+ and acts as an apoptosis modulator. Increased expression of SIG1R is … Continue reading →
