The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), often preceded by acute lung injury (ALI), is characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory fluid in the lung alveoli, leaky alveolar epithelium and endothelium, and overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This progression from ALI to ARDS is a major contributor to the high mortality observed in COVID-19 patients.

TQ enhanced DOX sensitivity in U87 glioblastoma cells via targeting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. Abstract Natural compounds such as thymoquinone (TQ) have recently gained increasing attention in treating glioblastoma (GBM). However, the effects of TQ in reversing drug resistance are not completely understood. Therefore, we aimed to examine TQ impacts on GBM cells with doxorubicin (DOX) resistance and the involvement of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Previous studies demonstrated that sigma-receptor (R) antagonists alone fail to alter cocaine self-administration despite blocking various other effects of cocaine. However, R antagonists when combined with dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitors substantially decrease cocaine self-administration. To better understand the effects of this combination, the present study examined the effects of R antagonist and DAT inhibitor combinations in male rats discriminating cocaine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) from salin
