The mRNA Translation Inhibitor Vioprolide A Prevents Inflammatory Pain‐Like Behaviour With Limited Action on Already Established Pain‐Like Behaviour in Mice

European Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 8, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Accumulating evidence indicates that pharmacological inhibition of the translational machinery is a therapeutic strategy for various diseases. However, whether inhibitors of mRNA translation might be suitable for pain therapy remains poorly understood. Here, we tested the potential analgesic effects of the natural product vioprolide

Targeting metabotropic glutamate receptors for novel treatments of schizophrenia

Molecular Brain, 2017
Support for the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction hypothesis of schizophrenia has led to increasing focus on restoring proper glutamatergic signaling as an approach for treatment of this devastating disease.

Central Pattern Generators in Spinal Cord Injury: Mechanisms, Modulation, and Therapeutic Strategies for Motor Recovery

JOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
This study explores the role of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) in locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). It examines CPG organization, function, and modulation through amino acids, biogenic amines, and acetylcholine. Therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological, electrical, and optogenetic approaches, are reviewed, alongside current

Recent Developments in the Optical Control of Adrenergic Signaling

Medicinal 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 Receptor 5 and 8 Modulate the Ameliorative Effect of Ultramicronized Palmitoylethanolamide on Cognitive Decline Associated with Neuropathic Pain

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
This study investigated whether metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) 5 and 8 are involved in the effect of ultramicronizedpalmitoylethanolamide (um-PEA) on the cognitive behavior and long term potentiation (LTP) at entorhinal cortex (LEC)-dentate ...

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

Addiction 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.

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy

Advanced 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

European 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 ...

Role and Mechanism of Microglia in White Matter Injury Recovery in Ischemic Stroke

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Many studies have shown that stroke can cause microglia activation, and activated microglia differentiate into different types according to different time and region, and different types of microglia play an important role in the process of white matter recovery.
