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.

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.

European Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 6, July 2025.ABSTRACT Background Glutamate, the primary neurotransmitter released by nociceptors, is predominantly synthesised by the enzyme Glutaminase 1 (GLS1). The involvement of GLS1 in pain pathways is well supported, as Gls1 heterozygous mice exhibit altered nociception and GLS1 levels increase in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) under chronic peripheral ...

Immunostaining for Homer reveals the majority of excitatory synapses in laminae I-III of the mouse spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2016 The spinal dorsal horn processes somatosensory information before conveying it to the brain. The neuronal organization of the dorsal horn is still poorly understood, although recent studies have defined several distinct populations among the interneurons,

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.Neurotoxicity of Hcy. (A figure that best represents the scope of the paper.) Homocysteine can reduce the tightness of endothelial cell connections, increase vascular permeability, and damage the blood–brain barrier. Homocysteine activates various glutamate receptors on the surfaces of neurons and glial cells, triggering excitotoxicity, promoting the ...
