Recently, we led preclinical studies needed for a new form of ketamine, called RR-HNK, to be tested for #ClinicalTrials in people. Learn what they uncovered about RR-HNK’s potential as a treatment for depression or pain: https://go.nih.gov/HsuGSzN

A recent study by #SOTmembers and colleagues that used rodent and human cells found that females to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals in personal care products may begin puberty earlier than usual by triggering certain brain receptors. Key Findings: ? Notable substances of concern include musk ambrette, a fragrance found in some detergents, perfumes, and personal care products, and a group of medications known as cholinergic agonists. ? These chemicals tend to block or interfere with hormone function in the body’s endocrine system. ? Researchers screened 10,000 environmental compounds and examined their effects on rodent and human brain cell lines that regulate reproductive functions, finding that some compounds may trigger receptors crucial to the puberty process. #SOTMember co-authors of this study: ? #SOTFullMember Shu Yang of National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) ? #SOTFullMember Ruili Huang of National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) ? #SOTFullMember Srilatha Sakamuru of National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) ? #SOTFullMember Menghang Xia of National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ed8k8cQ5

Scientists at @UCBerkeley used the NCATS’ National Clinical Cohort Collaborative (#N3C) database and a tool called SuperLearner to analyze #EHRs of patients who have had COVID-19. The tool identified the risk factors with the strongest long-COVID predictive power. Learn more: https://go.nih.gov/TKKlRw3
