SARS-CoV-2 infection in hiPSC-derived neurons is cathepsin-dependent and causes accumulation of HIF1alpha and phosphorylated tau

Pinja Kettunen, Janika Ruuska, Tania Quirin…·Giuseppe Balistreri

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infects hiPSC-derived neurons via endosomal-lysosomal pathway dependent on cathepsins, leading to HIF1alpha accumulation and phosphorylated tau, suggesting neurodegenerative effects.

Psilocybin prevents activity-based anorexia in female rats by enhancing cognitive flexibility: contributions from 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor mechanisms.

Kyna‐Anne Conn, Laura K Milton, Kaixin Huang…·Claire J. Foldi

This study shows psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility and body weight in female rats with activity-based anorexia, mediated by 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor mechanisms.
