Recent Developments in the Optical Control of Adrenergic Signaling

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 1307-1322, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Adrenoceptors (ARs) play a vital role in various physiological processes and are key therapeutic targets. The advent of optical control techniques, including optogenetics and photopharmacology, offers the potential to modulate AR signaling with precise temporal and spatial resolution. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in the

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Glial Cells: A New Potential Target for Neuroprotection?

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation that finally lead to slow neuronal degeneration and death. Although neurons are the principal target, glial cells are important players as they contribute by either ...

Selective Effects of Acutely Administered N‐Acetyl‐Cysteine in Rodent Models of Nicotine‐Conditioned Behaviours

open access: yesAddiction Biology, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Chronic nicotine administration leads to neuroadaptations, an important process in nicotine and tobacco dependence for which treatments are limited. The cysteine pro‐drug, N‐acetyl‐cysteine (NAC), is a promising glutamatergic agent that has shown some clinical efficacy in reducing nicotine use in humans.

Developing HaloTag and SNAP‐Tag Chemical Inducers of Dimerization to Probe Receptor Oligomerization and Downstream Signaling

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 35, August 25, 2025.
Controlling protein interactions is key to studying signaling. Antibody methods have limits, but chemical inducers of dimerization (CIDs) using HaloTags and SNAP‐Tags offer precise control. We present CIDs to covalently link heteromers with varied linkers and a FRET‐based sensor.

Aberrant Modular Dynamics of Functional Networks in Schizophrenia and Their Relationship With Neurotransmitter and Gene Expression Profiles

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 46, Issue 12, 15 August 2025.
By harmonizing resting‐state fMRI data from a relatively large multi‐site sample, this study reveals altered modular dynamics in schizophrenia. These alterations are associated with multiple neurotransmitter systems and transcriptomic profiles that are preferentially enriched for biological processes of transmembrane transport and brain development, as

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 29, August 7, 2025.
In ARHL, the stria vascularis, acting as a cochlear battery, gradually loses its ability to maintain the endocochlear potential, leading to impaired hair cell function and progressive hearing loss. Single‐cell sequencing reveals age‐related cellular changes in the cochlea, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of aging and potential ...

The Role of Peripheral N‐Methyl‐D‐Asparate (NMDA) Receptors in Itch and Pain: A Narrative Review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 7, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective NMDA receptors, predominantly located in the central nervous system and known for their roles in synaptic plasticity and central sensitisation of pain and itch, are also expressed in peripheral sensory neurons. Emerging evidence suggests that peripheral NMDA receptors contribute to pathological pain and potentially ...
