Melatonin Partially Attenuates Oxycodone-Induced Placental Stress Signaling and Fetal Brain Apoptosis in a Sex-Specific Manner.

This study examines how prenatal oxycodone exposure affects placental and fetal brain stress signaling and apoptosis, and whether melatonin can mitigate these effects in a sex-specific manner.

Delineating the effects of prenatal oxycodone exposure and melatonin treatment on placental and fetal outcomes in pregnant rats

This study examines the effects of prenatal oxycodone exposure and melatonin treatment on placental and fetal outcomes in rats, finding that oxycodone impairs fetal growth and placental structure, with partial melatonin mitigation.

Compensatory responses to glaucoma pathology in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus

This study investigates compensatory plasticity in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus of glaucomatous mice, finding increased intrinsic excitability and reduced inhibition in relay neurons despite diminished retinal input.

Microglia respond to elevated intraocular pressure and synapse loss in the visual thalamus in a mouse model of glaucoma.

This study examines microglia morphology and gene expression in the visual thalamus of glaucoma mice, finding morphological changes and immune gene upregulation linked to intraocular pressure and synapse loss.
