Abstract
Given the importance of cognition in everyday life, medicines that improve cognition safely and affordably are highly wanted. Creatine is an amino acid-derived substance that aids in the restoration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy to muscle and brain tissue. Although the relationship between creatine and cognitive performance is still debatable, here is a brief description of creatine's influence on cognition with probable implications for future research on this intriguing topic.

Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Head and Neck Disease
Head and neck diseases encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal passages, sinuses, salivary glands, and other structures of the head and neck region. These diseases can have significantly on essential function, such as breathing, swallowing, speaking, as well as the quality of life. ...read more
Common Mechanisms Underpinning Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Psychiatric Diseases
A growing number of large-scale epidemiologic studies have strongly suggested that common mechanisms may be shared by aberrant brain development and psychiatric disorders. There is now an appreciation of the synergic roles of genetic variants and environmental stress, which profoundly affect genome integrity and reshape brain development. This can lead ...read more
New Cell Death Regulation Drugs for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with aberrant cell death processes playing a crucial role in their pathogenesis. Cell death in these diseases encompasses not only well-studied forms of apoptosis but also includes a variety of complex modes such as mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, entotic cell ...read more
