A chronic low dose of Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) restores cognitive function in old mice
Nature Medicine 23, 782 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4311 Authors: Andras Bilkei-Gorzo, Onder Albayram, Astrid Draffehn, Kerstin Michel, Anastasia Piyanova, Hannah Oppenheimer, Mona Dvir-Ginzberg, Ildiko Rácz, Thomas Ulas, Sophie Imbeault, Itai Bab, Joachim L Schultze & Andreas Zimmer The balance between detrimental, pro-aging, often stochastic processes and counteracting homeostatic mechanisms largely determines the progression of aging. There is substantial evidence suggesting that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is part of the latter system because it modulates the physiological processes underlying aging. T...

Decreased alertness due to sleep loss increases pain sensitivity in mice
Nature Medicine 23, 768 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4329 Authors: Chloe Alexandre, Alban Latremoliere, Ashley Ferreira, Giulia Miracca, Mihoko Yamamoto, Thomas E Scammell & Clifford J Woolf Extended daytime and nighttime activities are major contributors to the growing sleep deficiency epidemic, as is the high prevalence of sleep disorders like insomnia. The consequences of chronic insufficient sleep for health remain uncertain. Sleep quality and duration predict presence of pain the next day in healthy subjects, suggesting that sleep disturbances alone may worsen pain, and experimental sleep deprivation in humans s...

HIV persistence in macrophages
Nature Medicine 23, 538 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4337 Author: Mario Stevenson A recent study using a humanized mouse model shows that HIV-1 can persist in macrophages during antiretroviral therapy (ART), and suggests that macrophages may represent an obstacle to efforts to cure HIV-1 infection.

The curse of uncertainty
Nature Medicine 23, 527 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4342 Proposed US budget cuts and the impending exit of the UK from the European Union have the potential to destabilize the global biomedical-research enterprise. In the meantime, the uncertainty of not knowing just how bad the effects will be will inflict its own damage. (Source: Nature Medicine)
