The Antipsychotic Aripiprazole Induces Cytotoxicity in Bladder Cancer Cells While Preserving Urothelial and Bladder Function. [PDF]
Current bladder cancer therapies can cause toxicity and bladder dysfunction. Brief intravesical‐like aripiprazole exposure reduced bladder cancer cell viability and was associated with redox stress and caspase‐3 activation, while ex vivo findings suggested preserved bladder structure and function, warranting further investigation as a potential ...

MiR-21-5p Protects Embryonic Growth and Heart Function During Developmental Hypoxia by Dampening HIF Responses and Altering Gene Expression. [PDF]
miR‐21‐5p protects embryonic growth and heart function during developmental hypoxia by dampening HIF responses and shifting gene networks toward improved cardiomyocyte survival and calcium handling. This work identifies miR‐21‐5p as a promising therapeutic target for preventing fetal growth restriction and cardiovascular impairment in high‐risk ...

Water Drinking Behavior Associated with Aversive Arousal in Rats: An Integrative Approach
Cholinergic muscarinic stimulation of vast areas of the limbic brain induced a well-documented polydipsia in laboratory rats. This excessive water-drinking behavior has not received any convincing biological and physiological interpretation for the last ...

KV7 Channel Expression and Function Within Rat Mesenteric Endothelial Cells
Background and Purpose: Arterial diameter is dictated by the contractile state of the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which is modulated by direct and indirect inputs from endothelial cells (ECs).

Muscarinic Receptors as Targets for Metronomic Therapy in Ovarian Cancer
Aim: In this study, the effects of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist carbachol on the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant (A2780cis) and cisplatin-free (SKOV-3) ovarian cancer cell line were for the first time investigated to further ...

Carbachol and Nicotine in Prefrontal Cortex Have Differential Effects on Sleep-Wake States
The role of the brainstem cholinergic system in the regulation of sleep-wake states has been studied extensively but relatively little is known about the role of cholinergic mechanisms in prefrontal cortex in the regulation of sleep-wake states.
