Background: The increasing presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic environments has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Among these, endocrine-disrupting compounds such as steroid hormones pose particular…
The cytochrome P450 1 (CYP1) family of monooxygenases—comprising CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1—plays a critical role in the metabolism of bioactive lipid mediators (LMs) derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids. These enzymes…
The pH-responsive aggregation behavior of chiral polymerizable amphiphiles derived from L-tyrosine (MTNa) and L-phenylalanine (MPNa) in aqueous solutions has been systematically investigated using a combination of viscosity, conductivity, spin-probe-partitioning electron…
The rising prevalence of childhood obesity has been closely linked to early-onset metabolic disturbances, particularly impaired glucose metabolism. While insulin resistance is well-documented during puberty, its onset prior to this…
The hippocampus plays a central role in learning and memory, with CA1 pyramidal neurons serving as the primary output of this structure. These neurons receive major excitatory inputs from CA3…
