Inhibition of cortical synaptic transmission, behavioral nociceptive, and anxiodepressive-like responses by arecoline in adult mice.

Arecoline from Areca nut may alleviate pain, anxiety, and depression through muscarinic receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex. Potential future treatment for chronic pain and related disorders.

Modulation of innate immunity related genes resulting in prophylactic antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Researchers studied how interactions between viruses (influenza, RSV) and bacteria/fungi in the respiratory tract can dysregulate the immune system during COVID-19, especially in children and vulnerable populations. This knowledge is crucial for managing co-infections and improving patient outcomes.
