Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]

, 2018
GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.

Treating age‐related loss of muscle mass and function: Where should we be focusing?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Perturbations contributing to the age‐related loss of muscle mass and strength. A, in the spinal cord, self‐reinforcing cycles of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation mediated by cells, including microglia, contribute to motor neuron degeneration.

Identification of Crucial Drug Targets and Pathways to Reprogram Drug Resistance Through Epigenetic Modulation in Advanced Lung Cancer Using Integrated Bioinformatics Approach

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be

Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 718-727, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Astrocytes as central integrators of neural circuit function: Mechanisms and dysregulation in neuropsychiatric disorders

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
1. Astrocytes are central integrators of neural circuit function through tripartite synapse modulation and neurovascular coupling. 2. Dysregulation of glutamate/GABA homeostasis and neuroinflammation represents shared mechanisms across diverse neuropsychiatric disorders. 3.

Structural and biochemical investigation into stable FGF2 mutants with novel mutation sites and hydrophobic replacements for surface-exposed cysteines.

PLoS ONE
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is an attractive biomaterial for pharmaceuticals and functional cosmetics. To improve the thermo-stability of FGF2, we designed two mutants harboring four-point mutations: FGF2-M1 (D28E/C78L/C96I/S137P) and FGF2-M2 (D28E/

Challenges and possible clinical applications of human embryonic stem cell research [PDF]

, 2012
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) are harvested from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo and possess several unique characteristics. First, they are self-renewing, meaning they can grow indefinitely in an appropriate culture environment ...

Blood Serum From Obese Women Raises ROS Production by Neural Stem Cells

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Maternal obesity has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and altered fetal development, but the direct influence of circulating maternal factors on early human neural cells remains poorly understood. Neural stem cells (NSCs) provide a controlled system to examine how metabolic and inflammatory changes may affect early ...

Increased FGF2 expression promotes immune cell infiltration and correlates with an unfavorable prognosis in thyroid cancer

Heliyon
To delve into the expression and functions of FGF2 in patient with thyroid cancer (THCA), we conducted a systematic analysis of the association of FGF2 with immune cell infiltration, and prognosis in THCA patients.

FGF2 gene's antisense protein, NUDT6, plays a depressogenic role by promoting inflammation and suppressing neurogenesis without altering FGF2 signalling

The Journal of Physiology
AbstractFibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF2) is involved in the regulation of affective behaviour and shows antidepressant effects through the Akt and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 pathways. Nudix hydrolase 6 (NUDT6) protein is encoded from FGF2 gene's antisense strand and its role in the regulation of affective behaviour is unknown ...
