β2-adrenergic receptor promotes liver regeneration partially through crosstalk with c-met

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the majority of cellular responses to external stimuli. Aberrant expression of β2AR results in various pathophysiological disorders, including tumorigenesis, but ...

Development and functional adaptation of intestinal macrophages across the lifespan

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 6, 2026.
This article discusses intestinal macrophage development, including the influence of developmental origins and life stages; ontogeny and functional heterogeneity; preclinical and clinical evidence. Abstract Macrophages of the gastrointestinal system are central regulators of gut development, homeostasis and disease, yet their origin, functional ...

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2619-2633, June 2026.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Restoring Iron Homeostasis via Smoothened Inhibition: A Novel Strategy Against Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
 . ABSTRACT Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) induced by noise or aminoglycoside antibiotics is a significant public health concern without any FDA‐approved pharmaceutical therapies. Dysregulation of iron homeostasis and its subsequently induced ferroptosis has increasingly been identified as a key mechanism underlying cochlear hair cell (HC) damage ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 inhibition improves erectile function through amelioration of endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress in a rat model of type 2 diabetes

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2019
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). It has been demonstrated that G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) overexpression contributes to diabetic endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, which also ...

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Tissue Homeostasis and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous group of immune cells with phenotypic and functional plasticity. ILCs dynamically regulate various immune cell types and play a crucial role in the pathophysiological processes of specific organs during sepsis. Targeting ILCs is a promising strategy for treating sepsis.

The β-blocker Nebivolol Is a GRK/β-arrestin Biased Agonist [PDF]

, 2013
Nebivolol, a third generation β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) antagonist (β-blocker), causes vasodilation by inducing nitric oxide (NO) production. The mechanism via which nebivolol induces NO production remains unknown, resulting in the genesis of much of the ...

Signal Amplification in the HPT Axis—Evidence for Its Existence, Location, Significance, and Molecular Mechanisms

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Thyroid hormones (THs) are under negative feedback regulation via the hypothalamic–pituitary‐thyroid (HPT) axis. How this axis operates to keep the circulating THs within a narrow physiological range is not well understood quantitatively. Led by the design principle of robust homeostatic feedback control, here we review and synthesize the ...
