Aberrant ɑSMA expression reveals broad mossy fiber reorganization integrating with tangle and plaque formation and mitoenergetic alteration in the human hippocampus

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Neural network and bioenergetic abnormalities occur with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. METHODS We explored mossy fiber (MF) and mitoenergetic alteration using ɑ‐smooth muscle actin (ɑSMA) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) immunolabeling in human hippocampus relative to tangle and plaque formation by referring to Braak (0–VI)

Structural basis of divergent substrate recognition and inhibition of human neurolysin

open access: yesScientific Reports
A zinc metallopeptidase neurolysin (Nln) processes diverse bioactive peptides to regulate signaling in the mammalian nervous system. To understand how Nln interacts with various peptides with dissimilar sequences, we determined crystal structures of Nln ...

Role of PBN‐CeA Circuit in Paclitaxel‐Induced Neuropathic Pain and Negative Emotions

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Paclitaxel‐induced neuropathy recruits the PBN–CeA pathway and increases CeA PDYN expression, contributing to pain hypersensitivity and negative emotional behaviors. Suppressing PBN inputs to the CeA or blocking KOR with Navacaprant mitigates both sensory hypersensitivity and negative emotional symptoms.

The endogenous opioid system in human alcoholics: molecular adaptations in brain areas involved in cognitive control of addiction

open access: yes, 2013
The endogenous opioid system (EOS) plays a critical role in addictive processes. Molecular dysregulations in this system may be specific for different stages of addiction cycle and neurocircuitries involved and therefore may differentially contribute to ...

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4880-4897, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...

Role of Opioid Ligands in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999
Endogenous opioid peptides – enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphins – are located in specific sites of the brain, the spinal cord, the autonomic ganglia and the enteric nervous system.

Therapeutic potential of spexin in diabetic neuropathy: Insights from in vitro and in vivo models

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3800-3817, 1 August 2026.
Abstract The present study investigated the therapeutic potential of spexin (SPX) on both in vitro and in vivo models of diabetic neuropathy (DN). A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into four experimental groups (n = 10 per group): a normoglycaemic control, an untreated DN group and two SPX treatment groups (DN+SPX‐12.5 and DN+SPX ...

Lateral olivocochlear neurons contain both enkephalin and dynorphin immunoreactivities: immunocytochemical co-localization studies.

open access: yes, 1988
Antibodies to methionine enkephalin and to dynorphin B were used in an immunocytochemical study examining co-containment of enkephalins and dynorphins in olivocochlear neurons in the guinea pig lateral superior olive.

Opioid and non-opioid activities of the dynorphins [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2005
Endogenous opioid peptides a-neoendorphin, dynorphin A (Dyn A), dynorphin B (Dyn B) and big dynorphin (Big Dyn) consisting of Dyn A and Dyn B, collectively known as dynorphins are derived from the precursor protein prodynorphin (PDYN).
