Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Molecular basis for a pore block of Tentonin 3 expressed in HEK293 cells by a conopeptide, NMB‐1
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Tentonin 3 (TTN3/TMEM150C) is a mechanosensitive ion channel that plays critical roles in mechanotransduction processes. TTN3 forms a tetramer with a predicted rectangular shape and a central pore. A conotoxin ρ‐TIA and its synthetic analog, noxious mechanosensation blocker 1 (NMB‐1), were initially developed to inhibit slowly ...

Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the
