Cover Story: For the treatment of PTSD, the development of animal models that mimic patients has become necessary, and many methods have been developed for doing so. Physical stressors induce anxiety through direct physical stimulation. The (A) and (B) methods allow rodents to swim in an inescapable maze and expose them to ethers until they lose their minds. The (C) method imprinted PTSD onto rodents with electric shock and sound signals by using metal rods. (E), as a psychological stressor, can cause PTSD by placing rodents in a face-to-face situation directly or indirectly with predators. Rodent models that undergo PTSD may experience dysfunction through increasing the negative feedback of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and may contribute to the occurrence of neuroinflammation due to PTSD.

Clinical Feasibility Study of Gold Nanoparticles as Theragnostic Agents for Precision Radiotherapy

  • José Antonio López-Valverde,
  • Elisa Jiménez-Ortega and
  • Antonio Leal

Background: Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) may be useful in precision radiotherapy and disease monitoring as theragnostic agents. In diagnostics, they can be detected by computerized tomography (CT) because of their higher atomic number. AuNP may also imp...

  • Beatriz D. Cardoso,
  • Vanessa F. Cardoso,
  • Senetxu Lanceros-Méndez and
  • Elisabete M. S. Castanheira

Stimuli-responsive liposomes are a class of nanocarriers whose drug release occurs, preferentially, when exposed to a specific biological environment, to an external stimulus, or both. This work is focused on the design of solid magnetoliposomes (SML...
