Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous and oral (S)‐ketamine: Investigating metabolite contribution to subjective effects

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Oral administration of (S)‐ketamine for treatment‐resistant depression (TRD), as alternative to the registered intranasal or off‐label intravenous administrations, has high potential. However, it is characterized by an extensive first‐pass metabolism, resulting in low (S)‐ketamine exposure and high levels of active metabolites, including (S ...

Critical Period Regulation by Thyroid Hormones: Potential Mechanisms and Sex-Specific Aspects

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Adequate perinatal levels of thyroid hormones (THs) are required for normal brain function and development. Studies in non-mammalian species suggest that TH might be involved in the regulation of critical periods (CPs) of heightened plasticity.

Mutations in M2 alter the selectivity of the mouse nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for organic and alkali metal cations [PDF]

, 1992
We measured the permeability ratios (PX/PNa) of 3 wild-type, 1 hybrid, 2 subunit-deficient, and 22 mutant nicotinic receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes for alkali metal and organic cations using shifts in the bi-ionic reversal potential of the ...

Precision modulation of tumor excitability: Targeting cell phenotypic heterogeneity for next‐generation cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This Perspective introduces tumor electrical excitability as a previously overlooked dimension of cancer biology. It proposes that tumor–neural interactions enable malignant cells to acquire neuron‐like properties and form bidirectional chemical and electrical communications with nerves.

A Novel Patient‐Specific Landmark‐Guided Approach for Intramuscular Botulinum Neurotoxin Injections Into the Rotator Cuff: A Cadaveric Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) causes chronic shoulder pain. Supraspinatus and infraspinatus, rotator cuff muscles innervated by the suprascapular nerve, are commonly affected. Intramuscular botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections near motor points (i.e., visible nerve branch entry sites used as a proxy for motor endplates) are an effective ...

Induced‐Fit Recognition by a Calixarene–Pyrene Conjugate for Single‐ and Dual‐Wavelength Fluorescence Sensing in Water

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A sulfonatocalix[4]arene–pyrene conjugate functions as a fluorescence chemosensor for the optical detection of biorelevant analytes in water. Its photoinduced electron transfer (PET) response is triggered by an induced‐fit recognition mechanism. Noncovalent assembly with an additional dye affords dual‐color ratiometric signaling via competitive PET ...

Engineering Lipid Nanoparticles for Precision RNA Delivery: Design Principles, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Prospects

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the most clinically advanced platform for RNA delivery and have enabled major breakthroughs in vaccines and gene therapies. However, their broader application is still limited by inefficient extrahepatic delivery, immunogenicity, and insufficient control over tissue‐ and cell‐specific targeting. This review
