Melatonin and inflammation—Story of a double‐edged blade

TL;DR: A particular role in melatonin's actions seems to be associated with the upregulation of sirtuin‐1 (SIRT1), which shares various effects known from melatonin and additionally interferes with the signaling by the mechanistic target of rapamycin and Notch, and reduces the expression of the proinflammatory lncRNA‐CCL2.

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I enhance regeneration in cultured adult rat sensory neurones

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of insulin, IGF-I, NGF, and nerve growth factor (NGF) on regeneration and neuronal survival were studied in cultured adult rat sensory neurones in a cell culture environment that limited non-neuronal cell mediated effects.

Amyloid-β oligomers link depressive-like behavior and cognitive deficits in mice

TL;DR: The results indicate that AβOs have an acute impact on memory, learning and mood in mice, and that fluoxetine treatment prevented both cognitive impairment and depressive-like behavior induced by A βOs.
