A Thermodynamic Model for Receptor Clustering [PDF]
, 1999 Intracellular signaling often arises from ligand-induced oligomerization of cell surface receptors. This oligomerization or clustering process is fundamentally a cooperative behavior between near-neighbor receptor molecules; the properties of this cooperative process clearly affects the signal transduction.

Cargo binding promotes KDEL receptor clustering at the mammalian cell surface [PDF]
Sci. Rep. 6, 28940, 2016, 2017 Transmembrane receptor clustering is a ubiquitous phenomenon in pro- and eukaryotic cells to physically sense receptor/ligand interactions and subsequently translate an exogenous signal into a cellular response. Despite that receptor cluster formation has been described for a wide variety of receptors, ranging from chemotactic receptors in bacteria to ...

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Although attractive for relevance to real‐world scenarios, real‐world data (RWD) is typically used for drug repurposing and not therapeutic target discovery. Repurposing studies have identified few effective options in neurological diseases such as the rare disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which has no disease‐modifying treatments ...

Understanding ligand binding, selectivity and functions on the G protein-coupled receptors: A molecular modeling approach [PDF]
, 2014 The assessment of target protein molecular structure provides a distinct advantage in the rational drug design process. The increasing number of available G protein-coupled receptor crystal structures has enabled utilization of a varied number of ...

High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 30th Dec. 2016, Vol. 4 no. e13051, 2016 NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability. There are different NMDA receptor subtypes which differ in their single-channel conductance.

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a relatively new diagnostic entity, and no medication has been approved. Recent data suggest that mirtazapine, a tetracyclic antidepressant, could improve outcomes in ARFID. We conducted a retrospective chart review to examine the effects of mirtazapine on ARFID treatment in youth.

Chronic morphine treatment attenuates cell growth of human BT474 breast cancer cells by rearrangement of the ErbB signalling network. [PDF]
, 2013 There is increasing evidence that opioid analgesics may interfere with tumour growth. It is currently thought that these effects are mediated by transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-controlled ERK1/2 and Akt signalling.

Wellcome Open Research, 2018 Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction/Objectives: Agoutis is a medium‐sized wild rodent with potential for use as an experimental model. This study aimed to evaluate physiological parameters of arrhythmogenesis in this species, by HR‐ECG and VCG techniques, under physical and pharmacological containment (ketamine‐xylazine and butorphanol). Materials and methods: Eight
