Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a refractory syndrome characterized by chronic wayward pain and complex co-morbid psychological trepidation. The current treatments have a limited role and proper clinical benefits are far from satisfactory. Naturally occurring coumarins such as osthole are known to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore, the current investigation was designed to explore the potential of natural coumarin esculetin (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) in mitigating reserpine-induced fibromyalgia in Swiss albino mice. Esculetin is a 6,7 dihydroxy-coumarin obtained from various plant sources such as Aesculus hippocastanum L, Ceratostigma willmottianum, Citrus limonia, etc. Reserpine (0.5 mg/kg/day s.c.) treatment for first 3 days, significantly altered the behavior of mice as evidenced by reduced paw withdrawal threshold in pressure application measurement (PAM) test and electronic von-Frey (eVF) test, increased immobility time in forced swim test (FST), increased latency to reach the platform in Morris water maze (MWM) test and reduced number of square crossed in the open field test (OFT). These behavioral deficits with reserpine treatment were integrated with a reduced level of serotonin (5-HT), reduced glutathione (GSH), a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
