Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Distinctly altered TRPC3 and TRPC6 expression patterns in human Alzheimer's disease cortex and hippocampus

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Divergent remodeling of TRPC channels occurs in Alzheimer's disease, with TRPC3 increased in neurons and reactive astrocytes and TRPC6 reduced in pyramidal neurons. These alterations may contribute to calcium dysregulation, neuroinflammation, and synaptic dysfunction during AD progression.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Excitotoxicity Triggered by Neonatal Monosodium Glutamate Treatment and Blood-Brain Barrier Function

, 2014
It is likely that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the excitotoxin that has been most commonly employed to characterize the process of excitotoxicity and to improve understanding of the ways that this process is related to several pathological conditions of

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Selective modulation of NaV channel gating counteracts aberrant hyperexcitability and rescues motor function and survival in a model of spinal muscular atrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by SMN1 gene loss, leading to reduced survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and progressive motor neuron degeneration. Although SMN‐restoring therapies improve outcomes, residual disease burden and non‐curative efficacy underscore the need for complementary treatments ...

Natural product‐derived TRPM7 channel inhibitors in neurological injury: Mechanisms, pharmacological potential and translational challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Disruption of intracellular ionic homeostasis is a convergent pathological feature across diverse neurological injuries and disorders, including ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and brain tumour.

Temporal Changes in Mitochondria-Centric Excitotoxic Responses Following Severe Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injury

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant and urgent medical concern for the US military. TBI triggers excitotoxic responses immediately, involving mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by loss of calcium (Ca2+) cycling,
