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 ...

Plasma endocannabinoid alterations in individuals with substance use disorder are dependent on the mirror effect of schizophrenia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder strongly associated with substance use disorders. Theoretically, schizophrenia and SUD may share endocannabinoid alterations in the brain reward system.

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 ...

Endocannabinoids in Synaptic Plasticity and Neuroprotection

open access: yesThe Neuroscientist, 2014
Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are endogenous lipid mediators involved in a variety of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological processes. While activation of the eCB system primarily induces inhibitory effects on both GABAergic and glutamatergic ...

mGluR5 in ECCCK to BLA Circuit Modulates Depressive‐Like Phenotypes through CCK Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
Dysregulation of mGluR5 and CCK signaling contributes to major depressive disorder, yet circuit‐level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the ECCCK→BLA pathway is identified as a critical regulator of affective behavior. mGluR5 modulates synaptic function and CCK signaling within this circuit, controlling stress susceptibility and depressive‐like states ...

Endocannabinoids modulate cortical development by configuring Slit2/Robo1 signaling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2014
Local environmental cues are indispensable for axonal growth and guidance during brain circuit formation. Here, we combine genetic and pharmacological tools, as well as systems neuroanatomy in human fetuses and mouse models, to study the role of ...

Dorsal raphe tau pathology disrupts sleep‐wake orchestration and sleep architecture in a sex‐specific manner

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Sleep disturbances are frequent symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), mirrored by early pathology in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). Whether early DRN pathology can drive sleep disturbances, and the relative contributions of serotonin (5‐HT) and sex, has not been directly tested.

Electroacupuncture Treatment on Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Haemodialysis: An Effective Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment has been utilized for recovery from neuromuscular‐related diseases and may play a significant role in the treatment of sarcopenia. This interventional, randomized controlled clinical study aims to explore the efficacy of EA treatment in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients with sarcopenia ...

Early and Divergent Lipid Mediator Remodelling in Fast Versus Slow Skeletal Muscles of Female hSOD1G93A Mice

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) drives loss of muscle strength, function and quality of life in ALS patients. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates muscle homeostasis via regenerative and metabolic processes, and although ECS alterations have been reported in ALS neural tissues, ECS remodelling ...

Resmetirom Ameliorates Fibrogenesis in Hepatic Stellate Cells via Thyroid Hormone Receptor Alpha‐Fatty‐Acid Amide Hydrolase 1 Signaling Pathway

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
1. Resmetirom attenuates the activation of HSCs induced in in vitro and in vivo models. 2. Resmetirom attenuates the activation of HSCs through its specific action on the thyroid hormone receptor alpha. 3. Resmetirom requires fatty‐acid amide hydrolase 1 to reduce HSC activation. ABSTRACT Resmetirom is a liver‐directed, thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ)
