Recent progress and perspectives on metal-organic frameworks as solid-state electrolytes for lithium batteries
Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 30. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01340a. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSolid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are the key materials in the new generation of all-solid-state lithium ion/metal batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal materials for developing solid electrolytes because of their structural diversity and porous properties. However, there are several significant issues and obstacles involved, such as lower ion conductivity, a smaller ion transport number, a narrower electrochemical stability window and poor interface contact. In this review, a comprehensive analysis and summary of the uniqu...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2071: A Computational and Spectroscopic Analysis of Solvate Ionic Liquids Containing Anions with Long and Short Perfluorinated Alkyl Chains
. Burba Anion-driven, nanoscale polar–apolar structural organization is investigated in a solvate ionic liquid (SIL) setting by comparing sulfonate-based anions with long and short perfluorinated alkyl chains. Representative SILs are created from 1,2-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane (“triglyme” or “G3”), lithium nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate, and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory computations, and vibrational spectroscopy provide insight into the overall liquid structure, cation–solven...

31. The Effect of Family History and Polygenic Risk Scores for Psychiatric Disorders on Lithium Response
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a heritable mental illness with complex genetic architecture. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) can complement family history (FH) in predicting treatment response. We aimed to investigate the association of FH and PRS for psychiatric disorders with lithium response in BD. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

Longitudinal Brain Age in Young People With First-Episode Mania Treated With Lithium or Quetiapine
Previous studies suggest that lithium may have a neuroprotective effect on regional brain areas, even in First-Episode Mania (FEM) and early stages of bipolar and schizoaffective disorders. Here, an age-related multivariate measure of brain structure (i.e., brain age) at baseline and changes over time in response to treatment were examined. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

245. The Effects of Ebselen on Brain Neurochemistry in Depressed Patients on Antidepressants
Lithium can augment conventional antidepressant medication in treatment-resistant depression, but  its use is limited due to significant adverse effects. Previous studies in healthy volunteers reported that the inositol monophosphatase inhibitor, ebselen, reduced brain inositol levels, a proposed mechanism of action for lithium. We aimed to evaluate the effects of ebselen on brain neuroch emistry in a clinically depressed population. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

214. Uridine for Veterans With Suicidal Ideation: A Mechanistic Clinical and Neuro-Imaging Trial
Suicide remains an urgent concern of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Uridine is a novel treatment with a broad mechanistic overlap with ketamine and lithium, two drugs with anti-suicidal effects. The aims of this double blind randomized controlled clinical trial VA-funded study are to determine if uridine decreases suicidal ideation (SI) in Veterans, and to measure rapid changes in GABA, Glutamate, and Glutamate+Glutamine (Glx) associated with uridine compared to placebo.

115. GrimAge and DunedinPACE in Bipolar Disorder: Exploring Suicide Attempt and Lithium Use
Bipolar disorder (BD) has been associated with premature mortality and accelerated aging. Prior research from our group has shown that suicide attempts (SA) are associated with epigenetic aging (GrimAge) in BD, but less is known about the pace of aging and how medications, particularly lithium, given its neuroprotective effects, may be associated with the aging process.

Lithium rescues cultured rat metatarsals from dexamethasone-induced growth failure
CONCLUSIONS: LiCl has the potential to partially rescue from dexamethasone-induced bone growth impairment in an ex vivo model. Transcriptomics identified cell renewal and proliferation as candidates for the underlying mechanisms. Our observations may open up the development of a new treatment strategy for bone growth disorders.IMPACT: LiCl is capable to prevent glucocorticoid-induced growth failure in rat metatarsals in vitro. The accompanying drug-induced transcriptomic changes suggested cell renewal and proliferation as candidate underlying mechanisms. Wnt/beta-catenin pathway could be one of those novel mechanisms.PMID:...
