Modulation of neural cell membrane conductance by the herbal anxiolytic and antiepileptic drug aswal [PDF]
To evaluate the effects of aswal on ionic fluxes and neuronal excitation, we performed extracellular and whole cell patch clamp recordings on CA1 pyramidal neurons of guinea pigs and Long-Evans rats.

9-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)-2,6,7-trihydroxy-xanthene-3-one is a potentially novel antiplatelet drug which antagonizes the effect of thromboxane A2 [PDF]
Background: Currently, used oral antiplatelet drugs are both limited and associated with the risk of treatment failure/resistance. Research in this area is hence highly desired.

Drug-Induced Gingival Overgrowth—Molecular Aspects of Drug Actions
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is one of the side effects produced by therapeutic agents, most commonly phenytoin, nifedipine and cyclosporin A. However, the precise mechanism of DIGO is not entirely understood.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Acute antagonism in three-drug combinations for vaginal HIV prevention in humanized mice
Adolescent girls and young women in low- to middle-income countries are disproportionately at risk of becoming HIV-1 infected. New non-vaccine biomedical products aimed at overcoming this global health challenge need to provide a range of safe, effective,

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibiting drugs (SSRIs) are widely used for endogenous depression. In addition to depleting the nerve terminals of serotonin they also lower blood platelet serotonin levels.
