A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

In hippocampal CA1, muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (mAChR) activation via exogenous application of cholinergic agonists has been shown to presynaptically inhibit Schaffer collateral (SC) glutamatergic inputs in stratum radiatum (SR), and ...

We report that some menthol‐like cooling compounds, including (R)‐(‐)‐carvone, act as inhibitors of TAS2R31 and TAS2R43, which are taste receptors responsible for the intrinsic bitter aftertastes of saccharin and acesulfame K. However, there was little correlation between the intensity of the cooling sensation and the potency of bitterness inhibition ...

Mechanisms of phospholipase D stimulation by m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]
In human embryonic kidney cells stably expressing the human m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtype, agonist (carbachol) activation stimulated phospholipase C, increased cytoplasmic calcium concentration, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of various cellular proteins and activated phospholipase D. Bypassing membrane receptors, phospholipase

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptor distribution in the guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
In the enteric nervous system, acetylcholine is the most common neurotransmitter to induce gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions. Cholinergic signaling is mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of smooth muscle cells.

Intratumoral Nerve Phased Development: A Promising Therapeutic Target
ABSTRACT The nervous system has emerged as a critical regulator of tumor biology, engaging in dynamic crosstalk with cancer cells. Although the protumorigenic role of innervation is well established, increasing attention is now directed toward reciprocal influences—how tumors actively shape and remodel local nerve networks within the tumor ...

Neuronal Reshaping of the Tumor Microenvironment in Tumorigenesis and Metastasis: Bench to Clinic
This graphical abstract illustrates the multidimensional crosstalk between neurons and tumor microenvironment as well as targeted intervention strategies identified in the study. It highlights three core interaction axes: nerve‐tumor crosstalk mediated by neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors, neuro‐vascular communication driving angiogenesis via ...

Extrinsic intestinal denervation modulates tumor development in the small intestine of ApcMin/+ mice [PDF]
Background Innervation interacts with enteric immune responses. Chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We aimed to study potential extrinsic neuronal modulation of intestinal tumor development in a mouse ...

Endothelial Cell Organization Drives Distinct Agonist‐Specific Ca2+ Dynamics in Arteries and Veins
ABSTRACT Aim The endothelium regulates cardiovascular function by detecting and interpreting multiple extracellular signals from blood and surrounding tissues, even when these inputs are complex and conflicting. The major challenge faced by the endothelium is decoding this dynamic chemical environment to produce coordinated endothelial cellular ...

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: G protein‐coupled receptors
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,
