Increased Binding of [18F]Nifene, a PET Imaging Probe for α4β2* Nicotinic Acetylcholinergic Receptors in Hippocampus–Subiculum of Postmortem Human Parkinson's Disease Brain

Synapse, Volume 80, Issue 5, September 2026.
[18F]Nifene, a PET imaging probe for α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, was used to discretely measure changes in hippocampus (HP) and subiculum (SUB) of postmortem Parkinson's disease (PD) cases compared to cognitively normal (CN) cases. Significant increased [18F]nifene binding in PD was observed.

Topical Donepezil for Cholinergic Modulation in Chronic Wound Repair

Wound Repair and Regeneration, Volume 34, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic wounds result from combined defects in vascular perfusion, inflammatory resolution, and epithelial repair. The skin's non‐neuronal cholinergic system (NNCS), formed by keratinocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells that synthesise and respond to acetylcholine (ACh), helps coordinate these processes through muscarinic ...

Hypothalamic Control of Liver Health and Disease: From Circuits to Pathophysiology and Therapies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
This review delineates the hypothalamic circuits that control liver homeostasis via autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. Dysregulation of this hypothalamus–liver axis drives disease progression across a spectrum including steatotic liver disease, liver inflammation and injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3517-3537, July 2026.
Human α7 receptors have been characterised in terms of pharmacological properties. Insertion of the N‐terminal domain of the human α7 subunit leads to honeybee and cockroach chimeric receptors activated by ACh and inhibited by α‐Bgt. Insertion of the human cys‐loop leads to cockroach chimeric receptors modulated by PNU.

SLURP2 Enlarges Adipocytes and Induces IL‐23‐Producing Macrophages in Murine Dermal Adipose Tissue

Experimental Dermatology, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dermal adipocytes have unique features different from visceral and subcutaneous adipocytes. Their cyclic remodelling is coupled with hair follicle (HF) cycling: expansion in the anagen and reduction in the catagen stages. Secreted Ly6/uPAR related protein 2 (SLURP2) is a non‐neuronal transmitter and a ligand of both nicotinic and muscarinic ...

Beyond the Known and Established Neurodegenerative Effects: Roles of APOE Across a Wide Spectrum of Pathophysiological Condition

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
APOE is widely recognized for its role in neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disease, but its different genotypes also influence body composition, affecting obesity, bone density, and muscle mass, through their central role in lipid transport and metabolism.

Adolescent Exposure to Nicotine and Ethanol Attenuates Adult Nicotine Reward Sensitivity in Rats

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
We investigated how chronic exposure to nicotine, ethanol, or their combination during adolescence influences adult conditioned place preference (CPP) for nicotine. No significant CPP was observed in any of the drug‐exposed groups, suggesting adolescent exposure to addictive substances does not uniformly increase vulnerability to nicotine reward ...

The Use of Statins in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease: A 2021–2025 State‐of‐the‐Art Review of Clinical and Preclinical Evidence

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Statins, widely prescribed for cardiovascular prevention, have emerged as potential disease‐modifying agents in neurodegenerative disorders due to their pleiotropic effects on cholesterol metabolism, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and protein aggregation.

Restoring Septohippocampal Cholinergic Signaling Rescues Surgery‐Induced Neurogenesis and Memory Deficits in Aged Mice

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Surgery‐induced MS/vDB → DG cholinergic decline impairs hippocampal neurogenesis and memory in aged mice; galantamine‐mediated cholinergic potentiation or sustained chemogenetic activation rescues these deficits, highlighting therapeutic potential for POCD.

AAV.PHP.eB-based strategies for precise modulation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in neurons and astrocytes in the adult mouse brain

Scientific Reports
Precise control of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) in specific brain cell types is crucial for understanding its role in neural circuit function and disease.
