Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3044-3067, July 2025.
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 bias at the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family: opportunities and challenges.

open access: yesNeuropharmacology
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by the endogenous neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh).

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3151-3162, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

Regulation of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases in the Rat Striatum by Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. This transmitter binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) to regulate activity of a variety of intracellular signaling molecules.

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Muscarinic—but Not Nicotinic—Acetylcholine Receptors Mediate a Nitric Oxide-Dependent Dilation in Brain Cortical Arterioles: A Possible Role for the M5 Receptor Subtype [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2000
Increases in cortical cerebral blood flow are induced by stimulation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. This response is mediated in part by nitric oxide (NO) and reportedly involves both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, some of which are possibly located in the vessel wall.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

open access: yesBritish 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

Memory consolidation — Mechanisms and opportunities for enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Memory consolidation is the process by which relevant information is selected and transferred from a short-term, fragile state, into a stable, longer term domain from which it can be recalled.
