Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 345-356, August 2026.Major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) remain leading causes of disability, providing the impetus for receptor‐level treatment strategies beyond monoamine reuptake. The serotonin 5‐HT2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) is uniquely positioned at the interface of central‐antidepressant mechanisms and peripheral cardiac risks.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 16, Page 4512-4531, August 2026.The G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily consists of the most common targets of approved drugs. Targeting GPCRs offers appealing avenues for therapeutic development. Antibodies and their fragments, such as single‐domain antibodies (VHHs or nanobodies), have emerged as useful alternatives to small molecule pharmacophores as building blocks in ...

GIP in Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease: From Physiology to Pharmacology
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6509-6532, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aims To provide a comprehensive overview of the cardiovascular and renal effects of glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) by integrating its physiological role with recent human trial data on tirzepatide, the first dual GIP and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonist.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6941-6949, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Glucagon is a key regulator of glucose and energy metabolism, yet the dose–response effects of glucagon on markers of metabolism in humans are not fully characterised. We investigated the dose‐dependent effects of glucagon on glucose metabolism, β‐cell secretion and markers of hepatic metabolism in healthy adults.

A Myocyte‐Enriched Long Non‐Coding RNA NRMLncR Enhances Myogenesis in Mouse
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.We identified a novel myocyte‐enriched, Notch‐repressed myogenic lncRNA, NRMLncR, that is induced by myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) during myogenic progression in mouse. NRMLncR localizes to cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments, associates with the RNA‐binding protein CUGBP Elav‐like family member 1 (CELF1), and is linked to neighboring gene Tbx1 ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

β-arrestin 1 regulates β2-adrenergic receptor-mediated skeletal muscle hypertrophy and contractility
Skeletal Muscle, 2018 Background β2-adrenergic receptors (β2ARs) are the target of catecholamines and play fundamental roles in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and skeletal muscle physiology.

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, Volume 127, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Macrophage metabolism has been increasingly studied in recent years for its potential as a therapeutic target across multiple pathologies. In this article, we propose that the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme alpha‐ketoglutarate (KG) dehydrogenase (KGDH) serves as a nexus for regulating macrophage polarization toward pro‐inflammatory (M1)

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 644-671, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the
