Normal and Pathological Tau Uptake Mediated by M1/M3 Muscarinic Receptors Promotes Opposite Neuronal Changes

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
The microtubule associated protein tau is mainly found in the cell’s cytosol but recently it was also shown in the extracellular space. In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), pathological tau spreads from neuron to neuron enhancing

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Clozapine:norclozapine ratio as a marker of metabolic risk and therapeutic response and effect of valproate on clozapine levels

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic in treatment‐resistant schizophrenia. Clozapine causes weight gain and increased diabetes risk. The role of its metabolite norclozapine and clozapine:norclozapine ratio (CLZ/NCLZ) in metabolic effects has been debated.

Twenty years of inhaler therapy: A nationwide drug utilization study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to map nationwide trends and prescribing patterns in inhaler use from 2004 to 2023. In light of evolving clinical guidelines and attention to the environmental impact of inhalers within recent years, we also examined variation in prescribing behaviour and patient‐level treatment choices. Methods Using nationwide health registries,

Histamine and the mechanisms of nausea and vomiting: Translating the uncertain pharmacology of cyclizine

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyclizine is a long‐established, short‐acting drug, registered for preventing motion sickness, post‐operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and ‘vomiting of known cause’. The latter is not defined but may include pregnancy and patients receiving palliative care, historically accepted without large, controlled trials.
