This paper looks at the antibacterial and toxic effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Escherichia coli bacteria and Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. They modified the AgNPs size, concentration, and surface coating to determine the effects on each of the organisms. For both organisms, increased AgNP concentration demonstrated increased toxicity but particle size and surface coating had opposing effects.

The authors looked at if there was any correlation between the phase of the moon and admissions for psychiatric concerns.
Read More...Governing Glioblastoma: A novel therapy to restore motor control and mitigate glioblastoma proliferation
The authors looked at ways that seizures in patients with glioblastoma could be treated using C. elegans as a model system.
Read More...Novel anticancer effects of melatonin and berberine via signaling pathways in colorectal cancer and lymphoma
The authors looked at the ability of berberine in combination with melatonin to have anticancer effects when tested in an in vitro cell model.

The authors looked at student perception on various situations involving third-party tracking to personalize recommendations.
Read More...Impacts of childhood adversity on relationships: Expressions of affection and social connection
The authors survey adults to assess how childhood adversity may impact adult relationships and ways of giving or receiving affection.
Read More...Impact of TCERG1 SNP on gene expression and protein interactome in Huntington’s disease
The authors assess a genetic variant within a well-known interaction partner of huntingtin that has been linked to modifying the age of onset of Huntington's disease.
Read More...Examining the impact of the sympathetic nervous system on short-term memory
The authors looked at how activation of the sympathetic nervous system impacts short-term memory.
