Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Modulators from Cone Snails
Marine Drugs, 2018 Marine cone snails are a large family of gastropods that have evolved highly potent venoms for predation and defense. The cone snail venom has exceptional molecular diversity in neuropharmacologically active compounds, targeting a range of receptors, ion

The Potential Role of Calcium Channels in Pulmonary Hypertension
BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe cardiovascular syndrome characterized by progressively elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and driven pathologically by sustained vasoconstriction and irreversible vascular remodeling. Growing evidence underscores the central role of calcium ion (Ca2+) signaling networks in PH pathogenesis, which dynamically ...

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 11, December 2025.ABSTRACT The medial habenula–interpeduncular nucleus pathway is a highly conserved and densely innervated brain circuit known for its unique cholinergic transmission and exceptional expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This pathway plays a critical role in regulating motivational and emotional processes, particularly those related to ...
