Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-chalcone conjugates with antikinetoplastid activity. Abstract A library of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-appended chalcones were synthesized and characterized using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and HRMS. The synthesized analogues were screened for their antikinetoplastid activity against Trypanosoma cruzi , Trypanosoma brucei brucei , Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Leishmania infantum.

SNX10 shRNA expression was transfected into AGS cells, and Rop intervention was given. qRT-PCR, CCK8, wound healing assay, transwell assay, and western blot were used to clarify the effects of Rop on the proliferation and metastasis of SNX10/SRC/STAT3 pathway in gastric cancer cells. Our results suggest that Rop shows a potential role in preventing proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to compensate for the loss of sight, an amputation or stroke, for example, say scientists. The researchers argue that the notion that the brain, in response to injury or deficit, can reorganize itself and repurpose particular regions for new functions, is fundamentally flawed -- despite being commonly cited in scientific textbooks.

How does the structure of the neuropeptide network in C. elegans differ from wired connectomes in more complex organisms? One important difference is that the neuropeptide network is much more decentralised than wired connectomes, both in worms and bigger brains. In wired connectomes there tend to be a small number of hubs that have many more connections than the average neuron, and these play a big role in organising and coordinating the rest of the network.
