Cyclic Treatment With WIN 18,446, a Potential Male Contraceptive, is as Effective as Continuous Treatment for Suppression of Spermatogenesis in Mice

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1472-1478, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Retinoic acid plays a critical role in spermatogenesis during both spermatogonial differentiation and spermiation. Mice lacking enzymes that synthesize retinoic acid, Aldh1a1/1a2, in the testes are infertile. WIN 18,446 reversibly inhibits spermatogenesis by inhibiting ALDH1A1/1A2 and is a promising approach to male contraception ...

Cannabinoid and adenosine A2A receptor crosstalk regulates postnatal and adult hippocampal neurogenesis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5440-5457, September 2026.
Background and purpose Adult neurogenesis is a tightly regulated process affected by both cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and adenosine 2A (A2A) receptors, both of which modulate neural progenitor cell activity. While emerging evidence suggests an interaction between these neuromodulatory systems, the extent and mechanism of their interplay in ...

Adolescent Exposure to a THC‐Rich Cannabis Extract Produces Genotype‐Dependent Effects on Cognition and Glial Morphology in Serine Racemase Mutant Mice

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 9, September 2026.
Adolescent exposure to a THC‐rich cannabis extract produced genotype‐dependent, contrasting effects in mice. In wild‐type animals, it altered behavior and brain glial cell structure, whereas in mice with a genetic deficiency in serine racemase, a model of impaired NMDA receptor signaling relevant to schizophrenia, it prevented cognitive and ...

Electrostatic tuning of NaV channel activation by the domain II S3–S4 extracellular loop

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 17, Page 7210-7224, 1 September 2026.
Abstract figure legend Voltage‐gated sodium (NaV) channels are critical for electrical signalling, yet the molecular determinants that tune isoform‐specific activation remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that charged amino acids in the extracellular DII S3–S4 loop of NaV1.7 play a key role in setting voltage‐dependent activation.

N‐Arachidonoyl‐phosphatidylethanolamide phospholipase D activation by muscarinic receptors

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 18, Page 7721-7738, 15 September 2026.
Abstract figure legend Activating muscarinic M3 receptors activates Gq‐pathway signalling, including the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and release of calcium from internal stores as shown in the upper panel. It remains unclear whether the calcium acts on N‐arachidonoyl‐phosphatidylethanolamide phospholipase D (NAPE‐PLD) itself or upstream at N ...
