Ionotropic glutamate receptors and their implications in cancer and cancer therapeutics
Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2021 Glutamine, an excitatory neurotransmitter, is necessary for physiological as well as pathological processes. Other than neuronal disorders and/or cancers, glutamate receptors have also been associated with an array of other malignancies. The metabotropic

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]
, 1995 To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy
Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—

Conformational diversity in class C GPCR positive allosteric modulation
Nature CommunicationsThe metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) are class C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that form obligate dimers activated by the major excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate.

Regulatory T Cells and Nanomaterials: Dual Perspectives in Therapeutics and Immunomodulation
Small Science, EarlyView.Tregs control immune tolerance but can also enable tumor escape. Nanomaterials can now expand or stabilize Tregs to treat autoimmunity and support transplantation or conversely disrupt tumor Tregs to boost antitumor immunity. We also discuss unintended Treg modulation by nanoparticles, safety and manufacturing challenges, and future translational ...

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]
, 2008 Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.
