Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Gasdermin‐Mediated Pyroptosis: Novel Strategies Against Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Pyroptosis is a double‐edged sword in colorectal cancer (CRC): chronic low‐grade pyroptosis promotes tumor progression, whereas acute induction of pyroptosis in cancer cells triggers antitumor immunity and enhances therapeutic response. Targeting gasdermin‐mediated pyroptosis represents a promising strategy for CRC treatment.

Lactate Accelerates Early Angiogenesis and Bone Regeneration Through Macrophage M1 Polarisation

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During the early stage of bone defect healing, lactate accumulates and contributes to increasing NOD1 expression by stabilising HIF1α that in turn triggers a calcium influx, which ultimately polarises macrophages towards the M1 phenotype and accelerates vascularisation of endothelial cells.
