This study identifies bioactive kavalactones in AB-free kava that suppress lung inflammation via PKA/CREB/COX-2 signaling, offering a new therapeutic approach for smoke-induced pulmonary diseases.

This study examines the neurobehavioral effects of CFTR modulators elexacaftor and ivacaftor in mice, finding anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors respectively.

This study shows AB-free kava reduces tobacco smoke-induced CREB phosphorylation in mouse cerebellum, suggesting a potential therapeutic role.

This study shows midbrain dopamine neurons modulate splenic immunity via a brain-to-body circuit involving the DVC and celiac ganglion, reducing spleen weight and naive CD4+ T-cell populations.

This study evaluates AB-free kava's effects on tobacco smoke-exposed mice, showing it mitigates health deficits with safety, suggesting potential for reducing tobacco-related harm.

This study develops a method to long-term culture porcine nodose ganglia neurons ex vivo, showing viability for 12 months and stable expression of neural progenitor markers.
