D-Serine: A Cross Species Review of Safety by Amir Meftah, Amir Meftah, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Joshua T. Kantrowitz, Joshua T. Kantrowitz, Joshua T. Kantrowitz

“…D-Serine may have a physiologic role in metabolic, extra-pyramidal, cardiac and other systems, but no other clinically significant safety concerns are revealed in the literature.Conclusions: Even before considering human to rat differences in renal physiology, using current FDA guided monitoring paradigms, D-serine appears safe at currently studied maximal doses, with potential safety in combination with DAAO inhibitors.…”

Differential Inputs to the Perisomatic and Distal-Dendritic Compartments of VIP-Positive Neurons in Layer 2/3 of the Mouse Barrel Cortex by Jaerin Sohn, Jaerin Sohn, Shinichiro Okamoto, Naoya Kataoka, Takeshi Kaneko, Kazuhiro Nakamura, Kazuhiro Nakamura, Hiroyuki Hioki

“…Recently, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-positive (VIP+) neurons, comprising a subclass of inhibitory neurons, have attracted particular attention because they can disinhibit pyramidal cells through inhibition of other types of inhibitory neurons, such as parvalbumin- (PV+) and somatostatin-positive (SOM+) inhibitory neurons, promoting sensory information processing. …”

The Effects of a Blood–Brain Barrier Penetrating Erythropoietin in a Mouse Model of Tauopathy by Joshua Yang, Weijun Ou, Nataraj Jagadeesan, Juste Simanauskaite, Jiahong Sun, Demi Castellanos, David H. Cribbs, Rachita K. Sumbria

“…PS19-Saline mice were hyperactive and less anxious compared to WT-Saline mice, and these behavioral phenotypes were significantly reduced in the PS19-cTfRMAb-EPO mice compared to the PS19-Saline mice. cTfRMAb-EPO significantly reduced AT8 load by ≥50% in all of the brain regions analyzed and microgliosis in the entorhinal cortex and amygdala compared to the PS19-Saline mice. Hippocampal pyramidal and granule cell layer density did not differ significantly between the PS19-cTfRMAb-EPO and PS19-Saline mice. …”

Novel QTL for Lateral Root Density and Length Improve Phosphorus Uptake in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Lam Thi Dinh, Yoshiaki Ueda, Daniel Gonzalez, Juan Pariasca Tanaka, Hideki Takanashi, Matthias Wissuwa

“…Simulating effects of root trait differences conferred by the main QTL in a P uptake model confirmed that qLDC5 was most effective in improving P uptake followed by qRNO9 for RNO and qSDL9 for S-type lateral density on L-type laterals. Pyramiding qLDC5 with qRNO9 and qSDL9 would be possible given that trade-offs between traits were not detected. …”

Identification and validation of coding and non-coding RNAs involved in high-temperature-mediated seed dormancy in common wheat by Hao Jiang, Wei Gao, Bing-li Jiang, Xue Liu, Ya-ting Jiang, Li-tian Zhang, Yue Zhang, Sheng-nan Yan, Jia-Jia Cao, Jie Lu, Chuan-xi Ma, Cheng Chang, Hai-ping Zhang

“…Subsequently, using Arabidopsis and rice lines overexpressing miR27319 precursor or lacking miR27319 expression, we validated the positive role of miR27319 in SD and further preliminarily dissected the molecular mechanism of miR27319 underlying SD regulation through phytohormone abscisic acid and GA biosynthesis, catabolism, and signaling pathways.DiscussionThese findings not only broaden our understanding of the complex regulatory network of HT-mediated dormancy but also provide new gene resources for improving wheat PHS resistance to minimize PHS damage by using the molecular pyramiding approach. …”

New As-Rich Arsenato-Polyoxovanadate Clusters: Solvothermal Synthesis and Selected Properties of [V₆^IVAs₈^IIIO₂₆]⁴⁻... by Maren Rasmussen, Christian Näther, Wolfgang Bensch

“…The cluster shell is constructed by interconnection of two trimeric {V₃O₁₁} groups consisting of three edge-sharing VO₅ polyhedra and four As₂O₅ units, which are formed by two corner-sharing AsO₃ pyramids. While the As₂O₅ group is a common structural feature in arsenato-polyoxovanadates, the {V₃O₁₁} unit is only observed in V-rich high-nuclear heteroatom-containing polyoxovanadates {V₁₄E₈} (E = As, Sb, Ge). …”
