GPCR‐G protein signalling and its mutational landscape in cancer—Driver or passenger

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cellular signalling, regulating various physiological processes. Abnormal expression and mutations of GPCRs have been implicated in several types of cancer, influencing tumour initiation, progression and immune response.

5-HT6R Viral Vector-Mediated Indirect Pathway Activation in the Dorsolateral Striatum: A Discussion on Basal Ganglia Habitual and Goal-Directed Circuits [PDF]

, 2018
Altering maladaptive behavioral tendencies is relevant for clinical interventions, making research on underlying mechanisms of habit essential. Mechanisms of habit are explored here with differential activation of the indirect pathway in the basal ...

Electroacupuncture as a treatment for suspected trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking in 42 horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used successfully as a treatment for trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking (TMHS) in a small case series, but results from a larger number of cases are lacking. Objectives To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of EA as a treatment for horses with TMHS.

Proteomic analysis of plasma proteins during fentanyl withdrawal in ovariectomized female rats with and without estradiol

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence from both clinical and preclinical studies indicates that females experience a faster progression to drug addiction and more severe addiction‐related health effects compared with males. Estradiol (E2) plays a critical role in these sex differences.

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]

, 1995
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

Clinical significance of exercise‐induced hypoalgesia in individuals with temporomandibular disorders and neck pain: A clinical trial protocol

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence reports positive effects of neck motor control and aerobic exercises (AEs) to improve pain in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and neck pain. A single bout of exercise typically leads to an increase in pain thresholds up to 30 min post‐exercise, known as exercise‐induced hypoalgesia (EIH).

The effectiveness of aerobic exercise on pain and disability in individuals with neck pain: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The present review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of aerobic exercise (AE) compared to other interventions in decreasing pain intensity and reducing disability in individuals with neck pain. A systematic review (SR) of randomized controlled trials was conducted. This SR was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021231231).

Replica-Exchange Simulated Tempering Method for Simulations of Frustrated Systems

, 2000
We propose a new method for the determination of the weight factor for the simulated tempering method. In this method a short replica-exchange simulation is performed and the simulated tempering weight factor is obtained by the multiple-histogram ...
