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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Muscarinic receptors and ligands in cancer

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2009
Emerging evidence indicates that muscarinic receptors and ligands play key roles in regulating cellular proliferation and cancer progression. Both neuronal and nonneuronal acetylcholine production results in neurocrine, paracrine, and autocrine promotion of cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and other features critical for cancer cell survival ...

Acetylcholine From Solitary Chemosensory Cell, Not Neuron, Regulates Basal Cell Fate Driving Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study identifies that Ach levels are elevated in eCRSwNP and primarily released from SCCs rather than neurons. Ach induces epithelial remodeling in eCRSwNP by binding to M1R/M3R and activating YAP signaling in basal cells, driving basal cell hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation. Blocking M1R/M3R with TB inhibits eCRSwNP progression.

Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Mediating Positive and Negative Inotropy in the Developing Chick Ventricle

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
The inotropic response to muscarinic receptor stimulation of isolated chick ventricular myocardium was examined at various developmental stages, and the receptor subtype involved was pharmacologically characterized.

Effect of the Arg16Gly β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphism on Long‐Term Mepolizumab Response and Clinical Remission in Severe Eosinophilic Asthma: A Genotype‐Stratified, Multicenter Study

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study examines the association between the rs1042713 (Arg16Gly) polymorphism of the β2‐adrenergic receptor and the risk of severe eosinophilic asthma, as well as its influence on mepolizumab long‐term effectiveness and clinical remission. The Arg16 allele is associated with increased risk of severe disease and potentially diminished long‐term ...

Genetics of infertility and “assisted fertilization” in the Bible: The case of Abraham and his family

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Couple infertility is a very ancient medical condition. One of the first descriptions of familial infertility/subfertility is contained in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, written in the 10th century BC and reporting tales from the oral tradition even occurred about 800 years earlier.

Vasoreactivity as a Measure of Kidney Viability During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of warm ischemic injury on renal vascular responsiveness to vasoactive drugs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). We found that the vascular responses to dopamine and norepinephrine could be used as objective indicators to assess kidney viability during NMP.
