Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]
Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

The dorsal and ventral regions of the striatum represent key brain areas for the expression of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) core symptoms. In the present work, we report that different forms of long‐term synaptic plasticity are impaired in the dorsal striatum of a phenotypic mouse model of ASD, carrying the ASD‐associated R451C mutation in the ...

Ligand-guided homology modeling drives identification of novel histamine H3 receptor ligands [PDF]
In this study, we report a ligand-guided homology modeling approach allowing the analysis of relevant binding site residue conformations and the identification of two novel histamine H3 receptor ligands with binding affinity in the nanomolar range.

ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer‐related mortality, especially in the Western world, and its incidence is expected to increase in the years to come. Prevention and early detection are key strategies to improve CRC morbidity and mortality.

Assessment of the molecular mechanisms of action of novel 4-phenylpyridine-2-one and 6-phenylpyrimidin-4-one allosteric modulators at the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]
Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that target the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (M1 mAChR) are potential treatments for cognitive deficits in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Thymol as a Potential Natural Antiemetic: Insights From In Vivo and In Silico Studies
According to the study, thymol (THY) greatly decreased retches and enhanced latency in a model of chick emesis; the highest effectiveness was shown at 20 mg/kg. According to molecular docking, THY binds strongly to important emetic receptors (5‐HT3A, D2, M3, and H1), indicating a multi‐target mechanism.

Ferroptosis in Cancer and Inflammatory Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications
Ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron and lipid peroxidation, serves as a bridge between cancer and inflammatory diseases. Microenvironmental factors such as oxidative stress collectively regulate this process. In cancer, ferroptosis exhibits dual roles: while it eliminates drug‐resistant cells, it may also promote tumor metastasis.

Induction of Anti-Hebbian LTP in CA1 Stratum Oriens Interneurons: Interactions between Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and M1 Muscarinic Receptors [PDF]
An anti-Hebbian form of LTP is observed at excitatory synapses made with some hippocampal interneurons. LTP induction is facilitated when postsynaptic interneurons are hyperpolarized, presumably because Ca(2+) entry through Ca(2+)-permeable glutamate ...

Pancreatic Islet Cell Hormones: Secretion, Function, and Diabetes Therapy
The pancreatic islets, composed of α, β, δ, ε, and PP cells, play a central role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This review examines the mechanisms of islet hormone secretion and their functional crosstalk networks, alongside the pathophysiology of diabetes driven by hormonal dysregulation.
