Abstract:
... Nootropics (smart drugs) are used by students to enhance cognitive performance which have been reported times in recent years. However, some of the nootropics are central nervous system stimulants which are very likely to lead to addiction or complications such as vomiting and dizziness. Are there nootropics that can improve learning behavior while having potential positive effect on health? Here, ...

High levels or long periods of stress have been shown to negatively impact cell homeostasis, including with respect to abnormalities in domestic animal reproduction, which are typically activated through the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis, in which corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) are involved. In addition, CRH has been reported to inhibit pituitary gona ...

In turn, virus have evolved RNA silencing suppressors (RSSs) to overcome RNA silencing in plants. In following researches, bacterial, oomycete, fungi have been found to involve in RSS besides virus. In 2021, we initially identified a novel RSS SWP16 from 37 secretory proteins encoded by phyto ...
