A new post-synthetic polymerization strategy makes metal-organic frameworks more stable

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Daniel Teav Sun, Shuliang Yang, Li Peng, Mehrdad Asgari, Olga Trukhina, Safak Bulut, Abbas Jamali

Metal-organic frameworks are of interest in a number of host-guest applications. However, their weak coordination bonding often leads to instability in aqueous environments, particularly at extreme pH, and hence, is a challenging topic in the field. In thi ...

N-Acetyl-Cysteine Supplementation Improves Functional Connectivity Within the Cingulate Cortex in Early Psychosis: A Pilot Study

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Alessandra Griffa, Kim Do, Patric Hagmann, Emeline Mullier

Background: There is increasing evidence that redox dysregulation, which can lead to oxidative stress and eventually to impairment of oligodendrocytes and parvalbumin interneurons, may underlie brain connectivity alterations in schizophrenia. Accordingly, ...

Schizophrenia patients using atypical medication perform better in visual tasks than patients using typical medication

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients show deficits in many domains, including cognition and perception. However, results are often mixed. One reason for mixed results may be differences in medication. Very little is known about the role of medication in visual pro ...

N-acetylcysteine add-on treatment leads to an improvement of fornix white matter integrity in early psychosis: a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Alessandra Griffa, Kim Do, Patric Hagmann

Mechanism-based treatments for schizophrenia are needed, and increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress may be a target. Previous research has shown that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant and glutathione (GSH) precursor almost devoid of side e ...

Visual masking and schizophrenia: enhancement deficit 200 ms after stimulus onset

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Masking is strongly deteriorated in schizophrenia patients and to a lesser extent in their healthy relatives. For this reason, masking is a good endophenotype. Here, we show the EEG correlates of masking across the schizophrenia continuum in order to tackl ...

Cannabis use in early psychosis is associated with reduced glutamate levels in the prefrontal cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Kim Do

Recent studies have shown that cannabis may disrupt glutamate (Glu) signaling depressing Glu tone in frequent users. Current evidence have also consistently reported lower Glu-levels in various brain regions, particularly in the medial prefrontal cortex (m ...

Dopamine induces soluble alpha-synuclein oligomers and nigrostriatal degeneration

Elpida Tsika

Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy body inclusions containing aggregated alpha-synuclein. Efforts to explain dopamine neuron vulnerability are hindered by the lack of do ...
