Acute Alcohol‐Induced Changes Measured With Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Positron Emission Tomography [PDF]
This proof‐of‐concept study provides evidence that acute alcohol administration reduces mGluR5 availability and increases relative blood flow in the human brain, as measured by [11C]ABP688 PET. The observed effects align with preclinical evidence of alcohol‐induced glutamate release.

Enhanced mGluR5 intracellular activity causes psychiatric alterations in Niemann Pick type C disease [PDF]
Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is caused by mutations in the cholesterol transport protein NPC1 leading to the endolysosomal accumulation of the lipid and to psychiatric alterations.

Altered surface mGluR5 dynamics provoke synaptic NMDAR dysfunction and cognitive defects in Fmr1 knockout mice [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) is crucially implicated in the pathophysiology of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS); however, its dysfunction at the sub-cellular level, and related synaptic and cognitive phenotypes are unexplored.

Presynaptic density determined by SV2A PET is closely associated with postsynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 availability and independent of amyloid pathology in early cognitive impairment [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is involved in regulating integrative brain function and synaptic transmission. Aberrant mGluR5 signaling and relevant synaptic failure play a key role in the pathophysiological mechanism of ...

Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome

Preso1, mGluR5 and the machinery of pain [PDF]
By bringing mGluR1/5 and proline-directed kinases together, the scaffold protein Preso1 stabilizes the interaction between mGluR1/5 and Homer. This mechanism may attenuate calcium influx into spinal neurons and reduce pain.
