Network features of the mammalian circadian clock. by Julie E Baggs, Tom S Price, Luciano DiTacchio, Satchidananda Panda, Garret A Fitzgerald, John B Hogenesch

“…We also observed several examples where a gene is up-regulated following knockdown of its paralog, suggesting the clock network utilizes active compensatory mechanisms rather than simple redundancy to confer robustness and maintain function. We propose that these network features act in concert as a genetic buffering system to maintain clock function in the face of genetic and environmental perturbation.…”

Targeting gut microbiota as a therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases by Tobiloba S. Olajide, Omamuyovwi M. Ijomone

“…Recent advancements, including germ‐free animal models, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and diverse probiotic strains, have revealed the underlying mechanisms linking gut health to brain function. Notably, several Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species have been shown to exert neuroprotective effects via the upregulation of neurotrophic factors such as brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and enhancing mitochondrial function through reducing the impacts of oxidative stress. …”
