Deep brain stimulation offers hope for severe depression, but how it works has remained a mystery. A new study reveals the therapy actually physically reshapes the brain’s white matter pathways, explaining its long-lasting mood-boosting effects. https://t.co/TdHUbfJCow

Time restricted eating for women with #PCOS #PMOS. In a 6 month RCT (n=76), a 6 hour #TRE window (1–7 pm, no calorie counting) led to ~4.3% weight loss, comparable to daily calorie restriction and superior to control, with no serious AEs.

A new study shows that pregnant women exposed to higher levels of air pollution may have children who exhibit more attention-related symptoms in school. However, this exposure is not associated with higher rates of formal clinical ADHD diagnoses. https://t.co/m3D1RahOnO

Excited to share our new transcryptomics study in AD where we use quantiative measures of pathological pTDP-43 and pTau to discern changes resulting from each pathology.

Positioning GSK3β as a promising therapeutic target for MASH: https://t.co/Ity0TzYn2i

Here, ASCI member Samar H. Ibrahim @samarhibrahimmd & team @MayoClinic report lipotoxic GSK3β activation in LSECs drives mitochondrial dysfunction and fibroinflammation in MASH.

The image shows improved mitochondrial morphology and lipid droplet accumulation in LSECs isolated from the CDHFD-fed Gsk3β△End mice (compared to CDHFD-fed Gsk3βfl/fl mice).

AI is erasing the line between civilian and military life.

The same systems that power translation, logistics, and digital assistants can just as easily be used for weapons or surveillance. When the Pentagon branded Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei "a liar with a god complex," it exposed just how blurred this boundary has become.

Thomas Christian Bächle and Jascha Bareis argue that today's AI is not simply "dual use" — it is inherently violent in design, and increasingly fuses daily life with geopolitics.

New #preprint: an exciting and new aspect of #bioelectricity!

Most work on bioelectricity and electrophysiology focuses on events at the cell membrane. Here, we (@HamidSediqi18 , @cellbioelectric, et al.) tackle a new aspect of the electric dimension of cells: the nuclear membrane.

"Ionic Exposure History Shapes Inner Nuclear Membrane Voltage and Chromatin Texture Responses"

We created a new reagent for monitoring the voltage across the nuclear envelope, finding changes in chromatin and ordering effects (i.e., a kind of simple memory of past experiences) in its response to ionic stimuli. This is just the beginning - a new target for monitoring and interventions that I predict will have a lot of impact on nuclear events (chromatin state, gene expression, etc.) and thus cell behavior.
