• Dietary supplementation with a magnesium-rich marine mineral blend enhances the diversity of gastrointestinal microbiota 

  Crowley, Erin K.; Long-Smith, Caitriona M.; Murphy, Amy; Patterson, Elaine; Murphy, Kiera; O'Gorman, Denise M.; Stanton, Catherine; Nolan, Yvonne M. (MDPI, 2018)

  Accumulating evidence demonstrates that dietary supplementation with functional food ingredients play a role in systemic and brain health as well as in healthy ageing. Conversely, deficiencies in calcium and magnesium as ...
• Quinolones modulate ghrelin receptor signaling: potential for a novel small molecule scaffold in the treatment of cachexia 

  Torres-Fuentes, Cristina; Pastor-Cavada, Elena; Cano, Rafael; Kandil, Dalia; Shanahan, Rachel; Juan, Rocio; Shaban, Hamdy; McGlacken, Gerard P.; Schellekens, Harriet (MDPI, 2018)

  Cachexia is a metabolic wasting disorder characterized by progressive weight loss, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and appetite loss. Cachexia is associated with almost all major chronic illnesses including cancer, heart ...
• Prenatal stress, the placenta and maternal microbial transmission; implications for health and disease 

  Togher, Katie L. (University College Cork, 2018)

  There is an extensive amount of epidemiological evidence showing that prenatal maternal distress (PNMD) is a risk factor for a wide range of poor obstetric and neonatal outcomes, as well as an increased risk for the ...
• Differential roles of specific sub-regions of the longitudinal axis of the hippocampus in the behavioural and neurogenesis responses to stress and antidepressant drugs 

  Rocha Levone, Brunno (University College Cork, 2018)

  Accumulating evidence suggests that the hippocampus is functionally segregated along its longitudinal axis into a dorsal (dHi) and a ventral sub-region (vHi). Indeed, recent gene expression studies suggest that the hippocampus ...
• Encephalitis associated with autoantibodies binding to γ-aminobutyric acid-A, γ-aminobutyric acid-B and glycine receptors: immunopathogenic mechanisms and clinical characteristics 

  Quek, Amy May Lin; O'Toole, Orna (OAE Publishing Inc., 2016)

  Recent, discoveries of neural antibodies have facilitated the diagnosis of immune-mediated, immunotherapy-responsive neurologic disorders. Antibodies that target inhibitory central nervous system receptors, such as ...
