Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Orchestrates Neuronal Regulation Of The Astrocytic Glutamate-Releasing Mechanism System x\u3csub\u3ec\u3c/sub\u3e\u3csup\u3e−\u3c/sup\u3e [PDF]

, 2016
Glutamate signaling is achieved by an elaborate network involving neurons and astrocytes. Hence, it is critical to better understand how neurons and astrocytes interact to coordinate the cellular regulation of glutamate signaling.

Molecular determinants of acute kidney injury [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition that leads to a rapid deterioration of renal function associated with impairment to maintain electrolyte and acid balance, and, if left untreated, ultimately irreversible kidney damage and renal ...

Beyond the tumor: Enhancing pancreatic cancer therapy through glutamine metabolism and innovative drug delivery

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2025.
The top row shows key drivers‐KRAS, c‐Myc and HIF‐1a‐alongside gut and tumor microbiota, all converging on glutamine metabolism in PDAC. At the center, glutamine handling is depicted as the linchpin of tumor growth, biosynthesis and immune modulation. The green panel lists major intervention strategies: DON‐loaded nanoparticles, prodrugs (DRP‐104/JHU ...

Ca2+-Dependent Induction of Intracellular Ca2+ Oscillation in Hippocampal Astrocytes During Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
We have investigated whether the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) oscillations induced in astrocytes using the metabotropic glutamate-receptor agonist, (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (t-ACPD) are Ca2+-dependent, using ...

A PI3K-mediated negative feedback regulates Drosophila motor neuron excitability [PDF]

, 2008
Negative feedback can act as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain neuronal activity at a particular specified value. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, a mutation in the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor gene (mGluRA) increased motor neuron ...

Astrocyte in Neurological Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapy

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
This review provides comprehensive overview of astrocytes in neurological disorders. Astrocytes contribute to neurological disorders via A1/A2 polarization, inducing neuroinflammation, synaptic, and BBB dysfunction. Metabolic disturbances in glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways leading to oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.

Pharmacological And Genetic Reversal Of Age-Dependent Cognitive Deficits Attributable To Decreased Presenilin Function [PDF]

, 2010
Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is the leading cause of cognitive loss and neurodegeneration in the developed world. Although its genetic and environmental causes are not generally known, familial forms of the disease (FAD) are attributable to mutations in a

Dimerisation of the VIP receptor VIPR2 is essential to its binding VIP and Gαi proteins, and to its functions in breast cancer cells

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 15, Page 3612-3627, August 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

The effect of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate and N-acetyl-aspartate on white matter oligodendrocytes [PDF]

, 2009
Elevations of the levels of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) are associated with myelin loss in the leucodystrophies Canavan's disease and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease. NAAG and NAA can activate and antagonize neuronal
