Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

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

British 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.

SFRP4 signalling of apoptosis and angiostasis uses nitric oxide-cGMP-permeability axis of endothelium

, 2017
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in endothelial functions such as cellular migration, vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from "pre-existing" ones is a carefully regulated process and essential ...

Tonic and phasic nitric oxide signals in hippocampal long-term potentiation [PDF]

, 2006
Nitric oxide ( NO) participates in long-term potentiation (LTP) and other forms of synaptic plasticity in many different brain areas but where it comes from and how it acts remain controversial.

Re‐thinking peripheral dysfunctions in obesity: The emerging role of sulphaceutics and sulphanutraceutics

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

sGC stimulator BAY 41‐8543 improves survival and ventricular function in a rat model of doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy with nephrotic syndrome

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOXO) remain a cornerstone of cancer therapy but are associated with a high risk of cardiotoxicity and subsequent heart failure (HF). Impairment of NO/soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP pathway has been reported in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy.

Dietary melatonin and its benefits on cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, with a disproportionate burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Melatonin, a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland, exhibits notable antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that may confer cardiovascular benefits.

Ligand binding represses bacterial histidine kinase activity by inhibiting its dimerization

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PdtaS is a kinase in the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that senses copper and nitric oxide and controls virulence gene expression, but how the kinase senses these compounds was unclear. We show that PdtaS is active as a dimer with each monomer phosphorylating the other in trans.

Cell Therapy for Periodontal, Soft‐Tissue, and Craniofacial Regeneration

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The clinical translation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represents a major advancement in dentistry, especially for periodontal, soft‐tissue, and craniofacial regeneration. However, several challenges remain to be addressed, including the absence of standardised protocols, limited scalability, regulatory hurdles, a lack of well‐controlled ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
