TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the existence of sexually dimorphic pain signalling in rats, suggesting that this sex difference is evolutionarily conserved, at least across rodent species.

TL;DR: Results show that nerve-induced muscle contraction is a key regulator of BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway, retrogradely activating presynaptic cPKC isoforms (in particular cP KCβI) to modulate synaptic function, and indicates that a decrease in neuromuscular activity could affect the BDNF-TrkB/PKC pathway that links pre- and postsynaptic activity to maintain neuromUScular function.

TL;DR: This minireview focuses on the roles of microglia and P2X4R in chronic pain, with specific attention to the circumstances under which these pathomechanisms differ between males and females.

TL;DR: In juveniles but not adults, variations in vitamin D were related to variations in measures of anxiety and marginally, activity levels, and both juveniles and adults were affected by mothers' diets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the clinical and biochemical indices of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) with those of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and found that %PEF is a disease-specific respiratory marker for the severity and progression of SBMA.
