Sleep deprivation and the rodent psychomotor vigilance test (rPVT): Assessing lapses in attention, the response stimulus interval effect, and time on task in rats using food reinforcement

This study assesses the effects of sleep deprivation on rodent psychomotor vigilance test performance in food-restricted rats, finding increased lapses and slower reaction times.

The Natural Products Discovery Center: Release of the First 8490 Sequenced Strains for Exploring Actinobacteria Biosynthetic Diversity

The paper introduces the Natural Products Discovery Center, releasing 8490 sequenced Actinobacteria strains and highlighting their taxonomic and biosynthetic diversity.

Oleic acid differentially affects de novo lipogenesis in adipocytes and hepatocytes

The paper uses isotopically labelled oleic acid and glucose to measure lipogenesis rates in adipocytes and hepatocytes, finding oleic acid inhibits de novo lipogenesis in hepatocytes but not adipocytes.

Site-Specific Crosslinking Reveals Phosphofructokinase-L Inhibition Drives Self-Assembly and Attenuation of Protein Interactions

The paper identifies PFKL interactors at specific interfaces and shows compartmentalization reduces interactions at interface 2.

Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapor exposure produces conditioned place preference in male and female rats

This study shows that THC vapor exposure leads to conditioned place preference in both male and female rats, with sex differences in the amount needed to produce preference and resistance to extinction.

Photochemical pre-bleaching of formalin-fixed archival prostate tissues significantly reduces autofluorescence to facilitate multiplex immunofluorescence staining

This paper shows that photochemical pre-bleaching reduces autofluorescence in archival prostate tissues, improving multiplex immunofluorescence signal-to-noise.

Antinociceptive, hypothermic, and appetitive effects of vaped and injected Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rats: exposure and dose-effect comparisons by strain and sex

This study compares the antinociceptive, hypothermic, and appetitive effects of vaped and injected THC in rats, showing dose-dependent effects and differences in behavioral outcomes between routes.
