Environmental enrichment preconditioning prevents chronic social defeat stress-induced memory impairment and hippocampal neurodegeneration by Nik Ramli, Nik Nasihah, Shamsul Adzmi, Nur Adzreen, Nasarudin, Siti Nur Atiqah Zulaikah, Hashim, Mohamad Hisham

“…However, there is a paucity of studies examining the effects of environmental enrichment on learning and memory in chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) models. Male C57BL/6N mice were (n=5) housed in enriched environments for 30 days before undergoing daily social defeat stress by ICR strain aggressor mice over 10 days. …”

Homocysteine metabolism pathway is involved in the control of glucose homeostasis: a cystathionine beta synthase deficiency study in mouse by Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Meneyrol, Kelly, Denom, Jessica, Kassis, Nadim, Rachdi, Latif, Makaci, Fatna, Migrenne-Li, Stéphanie, Daubigney, Fabrice, Georgiadou, Eleni, Denis, Raphaël G., Sanchez-Archidona, Ana Rodriguez, Paul, Jean-Louis, Thorens, Bernard, Rutter, Guy A., Magnan, Christophe, Le Stunff, Hervé, Janel, Nathalie

“…We evidenced a defect in the stimulated insulin secretion in CBS+/- mice with mild and intermediate HHcy, while mice with intermediate HHcy under HFD presented an improvement in insulin sensitivity that compensated for the decreased insulin secretion and permitted them to maintain a glucose tolerance similar to the CBS+/+ mice. …”

Loss of caveolin-1 impairs light flicker-induced neurovascular coupling at the optic nerve head by Loo, Jing Hong, Lee, Ying Shi, Woon, Chang Yi, Yong, Victor H. K., Tan, Bingyao, Schmetterer, Leopold, Chong, Rachel S.

“…However, there was no significant difference in RGC density between Cav-1 KO and wild type mice. These findings highlight the role of Cav-1 in regulating neurovascular coupling and IOP and suggest that the loss of Cav-1 may predispose to vascular dysfunction and decreased RGC signaling in the absence of structural loss. …”

Mechanisms that promote the evolution of cross-reactive antibodies upon vaccination with designed influenza immunogens by Yang, Leerang, Caradonna, Timothy M, Schmidt, Aaron G, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…Here, we develop a computational model to interrogate antibody evolution by affinity maturation after immunization with two types of immunogens: a heterotrimeric "chimera" hemagglutinin that is enriched for the RBS epitope relative to other B cell epitopes and a cocktail composed of three non-epitope-enriched homotrimers of the monomers that comprise the chimera. Experiments in mice find that the chimera outperforms the cocktail for eliciting RBS-directed antibodies. …”
