Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects up to 50% of men over 40. While phosphodiesterase‐5 inhibitors (PDE5i) are the first line of medical treatment, they are not always effective. Alprostadil, available in injectable, topical, and intraurethral forms, offers an alternative treatment modality.

Abstract Background Myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors regulate essential transcriptional programs in various cell types. The activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2 factors is modulated through interactions with cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, which are dependent on cell context and physiological state.

Papaverine safety during pregnancy: Insights from a large population‐based cohort of pregnancies
Abstract Aims Papaverine hydrochloride functions as an antispasmodic and vasodilator medication. Data concerning the teratogenic risk of papaverine is currently lacking. The aims of this paper are to examine the association between first‐trimester exposure to papaverine and major congenital malformations and the association between third trimester ...

Arrestin‐centred interactions at the membrane and their conformational determinants
Abstract More than 30 years after their discovery, arrestins are recognised multiprotein scaffolds that play essential roles in G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) regulation and signalling. Originally named for their capacity to hinder GPCR coupling to G proteins and facilitate receptor desensitisation, arrestins have emerged as key hubs for a myriad of
