    Resting-state alterations in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia are related to the distribution of monoamine and GABA neurotransmitter systems

    Lisa Hahn, Simon B Eickhoff ... Matthias L Schroeter
    Local brain functional activity reductions in bvFTD follow the distribution of serotonergic, GABAergic, and norepinephrinergic neurotransmitter systems, indicating a selective vulnerability and providing novel insights into the underlying disease mechanisms.

    Proteomic analysis shows decreased type I fibers and ectopic fat accumulation in skeletal muscle from women with PCOS

    Elisabet Stener-Victorin, Gustaw Eriksson ... Anna Benrick
    Elevated levels of ectopic fat and a decreased number of oxidative insulin-sensitive type I muscle fibers in skeletal muscle could lead to insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

    Ryanodine receptor 2 inhibition reduces dispersion of cardiac repolarization, improves contractile function, and prevents sudden arrhythmic death in failing hearts

    Pooja Joshi, Shanea Estes ... Swati Dey
    Inhibition of RyR2 hyperactivity with dantrolene not only prevents VT/VF and SCD but also heart failure by mitigating calcium dysfunction in pressure-overloaded hearts.

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor activation stimulates PKA-mediated phosphorylation of Raptor and this contributes to the weight loss effect of liraglutide

    Thao DV Le, Dianxin Liu ... Julio E Ayala
    The ability of the therapeutic glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide to promote weight loss is partly dependent on signaling via PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the mTORC1 regulator protein Raptor.

    Association between bisphosphonate use and COVID-19 related outcomes

    Jeffrey Thompson, Yidi Wang ... Ulrich H von Andrian
    A claims-based retrospective cohort study shows that patients who used bisphosphonates between 01/01/2019 and 02/29/2020 had dramatically reduced odds of SARS-CoV-2 testing, COVID-19 diagnosis, and COVID-19-related hospitalizations during the initial surge of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.
