Sex differences in placebo and antidepressant response to intranasal esketamine for treatment-resistant depression: a pooled participant analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background Racemic ketamine and its enantiomer, esketamine, have emerged as fast-acting antidepressant options for individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Yet, despite growing clinical ...

... exploring the effects of early life stress (ELS) and discuss resilient phenotypes that emerge from these paradigms. We advocate for the use of novel and more sophisticated behavioral tasks for rodents that capture, at least in part, resilient phenotypes observed in humans.

A brief guide to statistical analysis of grouped data in preclinical research

Nature Metabolism, Published online: 20 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01323-9Clustering and nesting (C&N) arise in many preclinical studies, such as when animals are group-housed or share litters, or in cell culture. Ignoring C&N undermines the validity of analyses. Here, we explain how C&N arise, as well as valid designs and analyses.
