Novel aspects of cholinergic regulation of colonic ion transport [PDF]

, 2015
Nicotinic receptors are not only expressed by excitable tissues, but have been identified in various epithelia. One aim of this study was to investigate the expression of nicotinic receptors and their involvement in the regulation of ion transport across

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-dependent and NMDA receptor-dependent LTP and LTD share the common AMPAR trafficking pathway

iScience, 2023
Summary: The forebrain cholinergic system promotes higher brain function in part by signaling through the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) of excitatory synaptic transmission in the

Reduction of glutamatergic activity through cholinergic dysfunction in the hippocampus of hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide precursor protein knockout mice

Scientific Reports, 2022
Cholinergic activation can enhance glutamatergic activity in the hippocampus under pathologic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the relationship between glutamatergic neural functional decline and ...

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3249-3300, July 2025.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Assessment of the molecular mechanisms of action of novel 4-phenylpyridine-2-one and 6-phenylpyrimidin-4-one allosteric modulators at the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

, 2018
Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that target the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (M1 mAChR) are potential treatments for cognitive deficits in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Expression Profiles of Neuropeptides, Neurotransmitters, and Their Receptors in Human Keratocytes In Vitro and In Situ. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Keratocytes, the quiescent cells of the corneal stroma, play a crucial role in corneal wound healing. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters are usually associated with neuronal signaling, but have recently been shown to be produced also by non-neuronal ...

Role for the M1 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Top-Down Cognitive Processing Using a Touchscreen Visual Discrimination Task in Mice.

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2015
The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtype has been implicated in the underlying mechanisms of learning and memory and represents an important potential pharmacotherapeutic target for the cognitive impairments observed in neuropsychiatric ...

Benzochalcogenodiazoles, Synthesis, and Applications in Medicinal Chemistry and Photomedicine

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 23, June 23, 2025.
Benzochalcogenodiazoles (BXD) including benzoxadiazoles, benzothiadiazoles, and benzoselenadiazoles are initially mainly designed for optoelectronic materials as electron‐deficient cores. Nevertheless, they are now extending their application to biology.
