Wild/Woodland Mushroom Poisoning: The Experience of Bucharest Emergency Hospital-Retrospective Study of ER 2023–2024 Presentations

Journal of Fungi
The global trend of increasing mushroom consumption, combined with traditional practices in Romania and other Eastern European countries of collecting and consuming “wild mushrooms”, may contribute to the rising incidence of emergency presentations due ...

Repurposing Pilocarpine Hydrochloride for Treatment of Candida albicans Infections

mSphere, 2019
Acetylcholine modulates the virulence of Candida albicans and regulates an appropriate immune response to infection in a Galleria mellonella infection model. Indeed, the evidence suggests that C.

Improved Cholinergic Transmission is Detrimental to Behavioural Plasticity in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

Biology, 2012
Unravelling the role of neuromessenger processes in learning and memory has long interested researchers. We investigated the effects of an acetylcholinesterase blocker, Methyl Parathion (MeP), on honeybee learning.

A growing understanding of the role of muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology and treatment of schizophrenia

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Pre-clinical models, postmortem and neuroimaging studies all support a role for muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology of schizophrenia. From these data it was proposed that activation of the muscarinic M1 and/or M4 receptor would reduce the ...

Lactoferrin treatment activates acetylcholinesterase, decreasing acetylcholine levels in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell culture supernatants, inhibiting cell survival

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Representation of the suggested mode of action of lactoferrin (Lf) in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells. Lf induces activation of caspase‐3 by activating p53 and AChE leading to decreased ACh concentrations. In turn, ACh signaling leads to activation of VEGF and AKT and blocking of caspase‐3.

Novel 3D‐Printed Biophotonic Scaffold Displaying Luminescence under Near‐Infrared Light for Photopharmacological Activation and Biological Signaling Compound Release

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Despite significant efforts in developing novel biomaterials to regenerate tissue, only a few of them have successfully reached clinical use. It has become clear that the next generation of biomaterials must be multifunctional. Smart biomaterials can respond to environmental or external stimuli, interact in a spatial‐temporal manner, and trigger ...

Antipsychotic-like effect of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist BuTAC in non-human primates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cholinergic, muscarinic receptor agonists exhibit functional dopamine antagonism and muscarinic receptors have been suggested as possible future targets for the treatment of schizophrenia and drug abuse. The muscarinic ligand (5R,6R)-6-(3-butylthio-1,2,5-

Evidence that cholinergic mechanisms contribute to hyperexcitability at early stages in Alzheimer’s disease

Frontiers in Dementia
A long-standing theory for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been that deterioration of synapses and depressed neuronal activity is a major contributing factor.

Cortico‐Striatal‐Midbrain Circuit Dysregulation Underlying MK‐801 Induced Impulsivity and the Ameliorative Effects of SEP

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Impulsivity is a symptom across multiple psychiatric disorders, yet its neural basis remains elusive. This study shows that the NMDAR antagonist MK‐801 elevates dopamine release and disrupts neuronal selectivity in the nucleus accumbens, leading to impulsive behavior.
