The Role of Genes, Stress, and Dopamine in the Development of Schizophrenia.

TLDR
A model is presented of how genes and environmental factors may sensitize the dopamine system so that it is vulnerable to acute stress, leading to progressive dysregulation and the onset of psychosis.

Age- and sex-specific effects of stress on parvalbumin interneurons in preclinical models: Relevance to sex differences in clinical neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss existing preclinical studies that support their overall hypothesis that the sex-and age-specific impacts of stress on PV + interneurons contribute to differences in individual vulnerability to stress across the lifespan, particularly in regard to sex differences in the diagnostic rate of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric diseases in clinical populations.

Photoelectrochemical sensor based on zinc phthalocyanine semiconducting polymer dots for ultrasensitive detection of dopamine

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors reported a convenience method to synthesize phthalocyanine polymer dots (Pdots), which dope ZnPc into a conjugated polymer poly[(9,9-di- n -octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)- alt -(benzo{2,1,3}thiadia-zol-4,8-di), and modified on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode by repeated immersion to develop an ultrasensitive PEC sensor for dopamine (DA) detection.

Metabolic and behavioral features of acute hyperpurinergia and the maternal immune activation mouse model of autism spectrum disorder.

TL;DR: A recent study in mice was conducted to characterize the bioenergetic, metabolomic, breathomic, and behavioral features of acute hyperpurinergia triggered by systemic injection of the purinergic agonist and danger signal, extracellular ATP (eATP) as discussed by the authors.

The behavioral and neurochemical characterization of a Drosophila dysbindin mutant supports the contribution of serotonin to schizophrenia negative symptoms

TL;DR: The data show that the dysb1 mutant exhibits some behavioral deficits that mirror some aspects of the endophenotypes associated with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and argues that at least part of the behavioral aspects associated with these symptoms could be explained by a serotonergic deficit.

TL;DR: Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.

KEGG as a reference resource for gene and protein annotation

TL;DR: The KEGG GENES database now includes viruses, plasmids, and the addendum category for functionally characterized proteins that are not represented in complete genomes, and new automatic annotation servers, BlastKOalA and GhostKOALA, are made available utilizing the non-redundant pangenome data set generated from theGENES database.

Clozapine for the treatment-resistant schizophrenic. A double-blind comparison with chlorpromazine

TL;DR: In this relatively brief study, the apparently increased comparative risk of agranulocytosis requires that the use of clozapine be limited to selected treatment-resistant patients.

Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function

TL;DR: Recent research has provided clues as to why genetic or environmental insults that disinhibit stress signalling pathways can lead to symptoms of profound prefrontal cortical dysfunction in mental illness.
