Arrestin-biased AT1R agonism induces acute catecholamine secretion through TRPC3 coupling

Nature Communications, 2017
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-mediated acute catecholamine release is modulated by β-arrestin. Here the authors show that β-arrestin-1 recruits the Ca2+channel TRPC3 and the PLCγ to the AT1R-β-arrestin complex, triggering G protein-independent ...

Phosducin regulates the expression of transducin betagamma subunits in rod photoreceptors and does not contribute to phototransduction adaptation. [PDF]

, 2007
For over a decade, phosducin's interaction with the betagamma subunits of the G protein, transducin, has been thought to contribute to light adaptation by dynamically controlling the amount of transducin heterotrimer available for activation by ...

Cancer Neuroscience: Innovative Conception and Emerging Strategy of Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this review, we summarize nerve–cancer interactions and conclude two additional interactions, “perineural invasion” and “neuro‐microbic‐oncology.” Emphasizing the important role of nerves in tumor progression. The nervous system also contributes to the development of cancer comorbidities such as cancer depression and cognitive dysfunction.

Signal Amplification in the HPT Axis—Evidence for Its Existence, Location, Significance, and Molecular Mechanisms

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Thyroid hormones (THs) are under negative feedback regulation via the hypothalamic–pituitary‐thyroid (HPT) axis. How this axis operates to keep the circulating THs within a narrow physiological range is not well understood quantitatively. Led by the design principle of robust homeostatic feedback control, here we review and synthesize the ...

Melatonin and the Dental Pulp: A Scoping Review

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 590-613, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In general medicine, melatonin is known to enhance wound healing and promote stem cell differentiation. Its potential relevance in endodontics, however, remains underexplored. Objectives This scoping review aimed to systematically assess the available evidence on the effects of melatonin (a) on dental pulp tissue and (b) on human ...

Homodimerization of CB2 cannabinoid receptor triggered by a bivalent ligand enhances cellular signaling

Pharmacological Research
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist within a landscape of interconvertible conformational states and in dynamic equilibrium between monomers and higher-order oligomers, both influenced by ligand binding.

β-Arrestin-1 expression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in laryngeal carcinoma

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2019
Aim: The novel primary end-point of the present study was to ascertain β-arrestin-1 expression in a cohort of consecutive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) with information available on their cigarette-smoking habits. A secondary end-

Rsp5-mediated ubiquitination of a functional analog of the Rim8 arrestin facilitates Rim pathway activation in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio
Pathogenic microorganisms use varied cellular processes to adapt to the particular stresses encountered in the infected host. These stresses include rapid alterations in ambient temperature, nutrient availability, and extracellular pH.

Deletion of arrestin-3 does not reduce drug-seeking behavior in a longitudinal paradigm of oral morphine self-administration

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionOpioid drugs are potent analgesics that mimic the endogenous opioid peptides, endorphins and enkephalins, by activating the µ-opioid receptor.
