TL;DR: The research into neurological complications in CoV infections and the possible mechanisms of damage to the nervous system are reviewed.

TL;DR: It is suggested that low BDNF levels may play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of MDD and that antidepressants may increase BDNF in depressed patients.

TL;DR: Despite impressive progress in understanding of the processing of Ca2+ signals during the past years, the elucidation of the exact mechanistic principles that underlie the specific recognition and conversion of the cellularCa2+ currency into defined changes in protein–protein interaction, protein phosphorylation, and gene expression and thereby establish the specificity in stimulus response coupling remain to be explored.

TL;DR: Increased attention should be paid to the psychological problems of the medical staff, especially non-front-line nurses, and general public under the situation of the spread and control of COVID-19.

TL;DR: A series of versatile BiFC vector sets that are fully compatible with previously generated vectors are described that enable the generation of both C- terminal and N-terminal fusion proteins and carry optimized fluorescent protein genes that considerably improve the sensitivity of BiFC.
