Electromechanical modelling and simulation of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes predict drug‐induced contractility effects

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A study described in this paper describes a new tool for hiPSC‐CM electromechanical behaviour simulations using mathematical modelling. The model enables in silico assays making drug testing quick, comprehensive and accurate. New hiPSC‐CM models can be used as a platform to integrate in vitro and in silico findings.

Distribution of Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors and Related Signal [PDF]

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
Muscarinic receptors are members of G protein coupled receptor family. Molecularcloning studies indicate five intronless genes that encode five muscarinic receptorglycoproteins.

Agonist-selective activation of individual G-proteins by muscarinic receptors

Scientific Reports
Selective activation of individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors is a promising way to safely alleviate a wide range of pathological conditions in the central nervous system and the periphery as well.

Structural determinants at the M2 muscarinic receptor modulate the RGS4-GIRK response to pilocarpine by impairment of the receptor voltage sensitivity

Scientific Reports, 2017
Membrane potential controls the response of the M2 muscarinic receptor to its ligands. Membrane hyperpolarization increases response to the full agonist acetylcholine (ACh) while decreasing response to the partial agonist pilocarpine.

Differential Neuronal Development in iPSC‐Derived Neural Stem Cells From Monozygotic Twin Cases With Treatment‐Resistant Schizophrenia and Discordant Responses to Clozapine

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
We investigated early neuronal development using iPSCs from twins with treatment‐resistant schizophrenia discordant for clozapine response. The non‐responder exhibited more pronounced impairment in differentiation than the responder. Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct developmental gene expression profiles, suggesting that early ...

Dysregulation of CD39/Ectonucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolase 1 Causes Urinary Bladder Dysfunction with Abnormal Smooth Muscle Contractility

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
Abnormal extracellular ATP levels cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of ENTPD1 (CD39TG)—an ATP/ADP converting enzyme—reduces voiding frequency while increasing void volume. Conversely, ENTPD1 deficiency results in frequent, small‐volume voiding.

Is muscarinic receptor agonist effective and tolerant for schizophrenia?

BMC Psychiatry
Background Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have recently examined the efficacy and tolerability of muscarinic receptor agonists in schizophrenia. However, whether therapeutics targeting muscarinic receptors improve symptom management and reduce

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Inhibitory Effect of Lidocaine on Duodenal Peristalsis During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional antispasmodics used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), such as hyoscine butylbromide and glucagon, are often contraindicated in elderly patients with comorbidities. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of lidocaine for inhibiting duodenal peristalsis during ERCP.

Axon Initial Segment: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized axonal domain critical for maintaining neuronal polarity, action potential initiation, and network stability. This review summarizes the necessary elements for maintaining AIS structure and plasticity, discussing crucial biological functions of AIS in neuronal signaling and the neural circuit homeostasis,
