Apo‐state structure of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 transmembrane domain obtained using a photoswitchable ligand

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) is implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, making it an attractive drug target. Although several ligand‐bound crystal structures of mGlu5 exist, their apo‐state crystal structure remains unknown.

Therapeutic Targeting of the α7 Nicotinic Receptor: Challenges and Prospects for Cognitive Improvement in Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) has emerged as a key target for treating cognitive dysfunction in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia. α7 nAChRs play essential roles in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation and synaptic plasticity, not only in neurons but also in glial cells, where they ...

Interplay between metabotropic glutamate type 4 and adenosine type 1 receptors modulate synaptic transmission in the cerebellar cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
The synapses between parallel fibers and Purkinje cells play a pivotal role in cerebellar function. They are intricately governed by a variety of presynaptic receptors, notably by type 4 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu4) receptors and type 1 adenosine (A1 ...

Liquiritigenin‐Rich Hydroalcoholic Extract of Brazilian Red Propolis Reduces Dyskinesia Induced by 3,4‐ Dihydroxyphenylalanine in Hemiparkinsonian Rats

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The set‐up and progression of dyskinesia induced by 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA) are strongly linked to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The aim of this work was to study and characterize the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Brazilian red propolis (HERP) on L‐DOPA–induced dyskinesia (LID) in hemiparkinsonian rats injected

Repeated \u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-Acetylcysteine Administration Alters Plasticity-Dependent Effects of Cocaine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cocaine produces a persistent reduction in cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc− in the nucleus accumbens that may contribute to pathological glutamate signaling linked to addiction.

Neurotransmitter modulation of extracellular H+ fluxes from isolated retinal horizontal cells of the skate

open access: yes, 2004
Self-referencing H+-selective microelectrodes were used to measure extracellular H+ fluxes from horizontal cells isolated from the skate retina. A standing H+ flux was detected from quiescent cells, indicating a higher concentration of free hydrogen ions

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3044-3067, July 2025.
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Drug-Induced Plasticity Contributing to Heightened Relapse Susceptibility: Neurochemical Changes and Augmented Reinstatement in High-Intake Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A key in understanding the neurobiology of addiction and developing effective pharmacotherapies is revealing drug-induced plasticity that results in heightened relapse susceptibility.
