Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

We review the non‐motor symptoms of MG and their potential pathogenesis, hoping to contribute to personalized diagnosis and treatment. ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), driven by T cells, mediated by B cells, and dependent on autoantibodies.

Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A for the Management of Melasma: A Split‐Face, Randomized Control Study
ABSTRACT Background Melasma management remains challenging due to its multifactorial nature pathogenesis and recurrent nature. Previous studies showed positive effects of botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) for treating and preventing ultraviolet‐induced hyperpigmentation.

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

.: In small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized and secreted, and it acts as an autocrine growth factor through activation of its receptors, muscarinic receptor (mAChR) and nicotinic receptor (nAChR). Alteration of tumor growth

Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction
Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,
