HIBERNATION-INDUCED MICRORNA EXPRESSION PROMOTES SIGNALING PATHWAYS AND CELL CYCLE DYSREGULATION IN ICTIDOMYS TRIDECEMLINEATUS CARDIAC TISSUE

Hibernation-Induced microRNA Expression Promotes Signaling Pathways and Cell Cycle Dysregulation in Ictidomys tridecemlineatus Cardiac Tissue

The thirteen-lined ground squirrel Ictidomys tridecemlineatus is a rodent that lives throughout the United States and Canada and uses metabolic rate depression to facilitate circannual hibernation which helps it survive the winter.Metabolic rate depression is the reorganization of cellular physiology and molecular biology to facilitate a global dow

Use of donepezil for neurocognitive recovery after brain injury in adult and pediatric populations: a scoping review

There are few pharmacologic options for the treatment of cognitive deficits associated with traumatic brain injury in pediatric patients.Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil have been evaluated in adult patients after traumatic brain injury, but relatively less is known about the effect in pediatric populations.The goal of this review
