This study investigates whether sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue mediates oxytocin-induced weight loss in diet-induced obese rats, finding it is not required.

This study shows that sympathetic innervation of interscapular brown adipose tissue is not required for oxytocin-induced weight loss and thermogenesis in diet-induced obese mice.

The paper uses two non-contrast MRI methods to investigate the glymphatic system's response to sleep and aging in humans.

This study shows that repetitive blast trauma in mice increases dynorphin and cytokines, which are reduced by a KOR antagonist, improving behavioral outcomes.

This study examines sex differences in acute and chronic outcomes of repetitive blast mTBI in mice, finding similar and divergent patterns of cytokine, microbiome, and behavioral changes between sexes.

This paper develops a metabolomic age prediction model using CSF data from healthy humans and applies it to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients, finding increased prediction error in disease cohorts.

This study shows that repetitive blast exposure in mice leads to chronic aversive responses to environmental cues, unlike single exposures, highlighting the complex effects of repeated trauma.

The paper introduces an Indicator Cell Assay Platform (iCAP) for blood-based diagnostics, demonstrating its ability to detect pre-symptomatic diseases in animal models and early-stage Alzheimer's in humans with high accuracy.
