Research overview

Herein, we investigated the peripheral cytokines and exosomal transcriptome regulatory networks in the patients with METH use disorders (MUDs) undergoing withdrawal. However, the pathogenesis remains largely unknown.

Key findings

Methamphetamine (METH) addiction and withdrawal cause serious harm to both the immune system and nervous system.

However, the pathogenesis remains largely unknown.

Herein, we investigated the peripheral cytokines and exosomal transcriptome regulatory networks in the patients with METH use disorders (MUDs) undergoing withdrawal.

Twenty-seven cytokines were simultaneously assessed in 51 subjects, including 22 at the acute withdrawal (AW) stage and 29 at the protracted withdrawal (PW) stage, and 31 age and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs).
