Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Xanomeline/trospium-induced polyuria: A patient case report [PDF]

Mental Health Clinician
Xanomeline/trospium is a newly approved agent for the management of schizophrenia. Unlike traditional antipsychotics, which are D2 receptor antagonists, xanomeline is an M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist coformulated with trospium, a ...

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The interaction between cancer cells and peripheral nerves: (1) tumor cells could induce the growth of new neural axons and constructing a neural fiber network within the tumor tissue through secreting nerve growth factors; (2) nerve‐derived bioactive molecules can induce perineural invasion of tumor and regulate the malignant phenotype of tumor, such ...

The Forefront for Novel Therapeutic Agents Based on the Pathophysiology of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapy of Overactive Bladder

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, which is characterized by a complex of storage symptoms (urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and urgency incontinence) is highly prevalent within the general population, causing major distress to patients in terms of ...

Pathogenic Gαo Mutants Drive Dominant GPCR Coupling in GNAO1 Encephalopathies

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Mutations in GNAO1, the gene encoding Gαo, are associated with a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, we show that Gαo variants linked to the most severe patient phenotypes fail to disengage from activated Gi/o‐coupled GPCRs, thereby blocking GRK‐mediated receptor phosphorylation and internalization.

Muscarinic Acetylcholine Type 1 Receptor Activity Constrains Neurite Outgrowth by Inhibiting Microtubule Polymerization and Mitochondrial Trafficking in Adult Sensory Neurons

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
The muscarinic acetylcholine type 1 receptor (M1R) is a metabotropic G protein-coupled receptor. Knockout of M1R or exposure to selective or specific receptor antagonists elevates neurite outgrowth in adult sensory neurons and is therapeutic in diverse ...

Assessment of Novel Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Rat Cerebral Cortex by a Tissue Segment Binding Method

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) of rat cerebral cortex were evaluated using a tissue segment radioligand binding assay. [3H]-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB, a hydrophobic ligand) specifically bound to mAChRs in the cortex segments.
