During endothelial cell Ca2+ wave propagation, IP3 in the initiating cell activates IP3Rs on the endoplasmic reticulum, releasing Ca2+ into the cytoplasm. We show that IP3 is required for signal propagation to neighboring cells and propose that this is due to activation of membrane‐bound pore‐dead IP3Rs, as part of a noncanonical signaling inside‐out ...

Hailey‐Hailey Disease: An Updated Review With a Focus on Therapeutic Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Background Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD), or familial benign chronic pemphigus, is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by chronic, painful, erythematous, erosive plaques and fissures at sites of friction such as the neck, axilla, groin, and perineum.

The Interplay of Cross‐Organ Immune Regulation in Inflammation and Cancer
Organs interact dynamically through immune regulation, influencing systemic immune responses and disease progression. We review molecular and cellular mechanisms of cross‐organ immune regulation in inflammation and cancer, focusing on gut, liver, and brain interactions with other organs.

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

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 ...

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Ligand-guided homology modeling drives identification of novel histamine H3 receptor ligands [PDF]
In this study, we report a ligand-guided homology modeling approach allowing the analysis of relevant binding site residue conformations and the identification of two novel histamine H3 receptor ligands with binding affinity in the nanomolar range.

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...
