Mechanisms of spinal glial activation in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy: Focus on microglia and astrocytes

Ibrain, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 65-85, Spring 2026.
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

Activation and Desensitization of Peripheral Muscle and Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors by Selected, Naturally-Occurring Pyridine Alkaloids

Toxins, 2016
Teratogenic alkaloids can cause developmental defects due to the inhibition of fetal movement that results from desensitization of fetal muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

From Pharmaceutical to Biophysical Therapies: New Horizons in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management

JCC Plus, Volume 1, Issue 2, March 2026.
Important limitations exist in the current pharmacological landscape of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), such as variable response rates and treatment‐limiting adverse effects. In this review, we perform a critical assessment of the current literature on novel multimodal biophysical approaches showing alternative mechanisms of action to, and potential

RgIA4 Potently Blocks Mouse α9α10 nAChRs and Provides Long Lasting Protection against Oxaliplatin-Induced Cold Allodynia

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Transcripts for α9 and α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits are found in diverse tissues. The function of α9α10 nAChRs is best known in mechanosensory cochlear hair cells, but elsewhere their roles are less well-understood.

Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Cancer Neuro‐Immunity

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tumour cells influence neural activity and microbiota homeostasis through cytokines and immune modulation. Meanwhile, gut microbiota regulates neural function through metabolic products, affects immune responses via neurotransmitters, feedback regulates neural activity and influences tumour microenvironment.

Effects of soluble β-amyloid on the release of neurotransmitters from rat brain synaptosomes.

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Contradictory results have been reported on the interaction of beta-amyloid (Aβ) with cholinergic receptors. The present paper investigates the modulatory effect of Aβ1-40 on the neurotransmitter release evoked by nicotinic (nAChRs) and muscarinic ...

Efficacy of combined varenicline and nicotine replacement therapy compared with varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy alone for smoking cessation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 499-509, March 2026.
Abstract Aims To assess whether combining nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with varenicline improves long‐term smoking cessation rates compared with varenicline or NRT alone. Method Systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi‐RCTs, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.

Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 1449-1468, March 2026.
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

Cholinergic Modulation of Locomotion and Striatal Dopamine Release Is Mediated by α6α4* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

, 2010
Dopamine (DA) release in striatum is governed by firing rates of midbrain DA neurons, striatal cholinergic tone, and nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on DA presynaptic terminals.
