Abstract

For decades, the dopamine hypothesis has gained the most attention in an attempt to explain the origin and the symptoms of schizophrenia. While this hypothesis offers an explanation for the relationship between psychotic symptoms and dopamine kinetics, it does not provide a direct explanation of the etiology of schizophrenia which remains poorly understood. Consequently, current antipsychotics that target neurotransmitter receptors, have limited and inconsistent efficacy. To gain insights into the mechanism of action of these drugs, we studied the expression profile of 12,490 human genes in a cell line treated with 18 antipsychotics, and compared it to that of a library of 448 other compounds used in a variety of disorders. Analysis reveals a common effect of antipsychotics on the biosynthesis and regulation of fatty acids and cholesterol, which is discussed in the context of a lipid hypothesis where alterations in lipid homeostasis might underlie the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This finding may help research aimed at the development of novel treatments for this devastating disease.

Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. It contains a population of tumor initiating stem cell-like cells known as cancer stem cells. Investigations are ongoing into these cancer stem cells found in these solid tumors which are highly resistance to treatment. Here is the latest research on cancer stem cells in glioblastoma.

Antipsychotic Drugs

Antipsychotic drugs are a class of medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Discover the latest research on antipsychotic drugs here
