Thymoquinone overcomes chemoresistance and enhances the anticancer effects of bortezomib through abrogation of NF-ĪŗB regulated gene products in multiple myeloma xenograft mouse model (open access)

Thymoquinone overcomes chemoresistance and enhances the anticancer effects of bortezomib through abrogation of NF-ĪŗB regulated gene products in multiple myeloma xenograft mouse model

Article investigates whether thymoquinone (TQ), a bioactive constituent of black seed oil, could suppress the proliferation and induce chemosensitization in human myeloma cells and xenograft mouse model. Overall, the results demonstrate that TQ can enhance the anticancer activity of bortezomib in vitro and in vivo and may have a substantial potential in the treatment of MM.

A neurobiology of learning beyond the declarative non-declarative distinction (open access)

A neurobiology of learning beyond the declarative non-declarative distinction

This article provides a literature review examining declarative and non-declarative forms of learning in neuroscience and psychology. The authors conclude that traditional taxonomy that distinguishes between neural systems supporting declarative and non-declarative forms of learning may be inadequate, as experimental and theoretical work suggests that other criteria may be more useful in categorizing the role of neural structures involved in learning such as the hippocampus and the basal ganglia.
