Role of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Glioblastoma Growth and Its Implications in Treatment
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma is a highly malignant and invasive type of primary brain tumor that originates from astrocytes. Glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain plays a crucial role in excitotoxic cell death. Excessive glutamate triggers a pathological process known as glutamate excitotoxicity, leading to neuronal damage.

GABAB Receptor: Structure, Biological Functions, and Therapy for Diseases
Within the GABAergic system, GABABRs are potential therapeutic targets for dealing multiple metabolic and binge eating disorders and food addiction. Allosteric modulators and small peptides targeting GABABR signaling pathways may be developed as attractive drug candidates that avoid the side effects of agents that directly bind these receptors ...

Reactive astrocytes release various molecules, which play a role in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. (1) Gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), ATP, and D‐serine, are secreted by vesicular exocytosis. In addition, astrocytes can also release ATP and glutamate through (2) P2X7Rs, (3) connexin‐43 (Cx43 ...

Summary: Activation of postsynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) modulates neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity, while deregulation of mGluR signaling has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. Overstimulation of mGluRs is
