Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Phloroglucinol inhibits human ureteral contractions via activation of cAMP‐PKA pathway

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Phloroglucinol is used to treat renal colic, especially when non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are contraindicated. This study aimed to clarify its mechanism by examining effects on human ureteral contractility and underlying signalling pathways. Experimental Approach Urinary levels of neurokinin A (NKA), substance P

Investigation of the mechanisms and modulation of irinotecan‐induced emesis in Suncus murinus

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Irinotecan is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent that frequently causes nausea and emesis. Its emetic mechanism of action is poorly understood and the choice of drugs to reduce nausea and emesis is largely empirical. Experimental Approach Using Suncus murinus, we examined (i) the dose–response and temporal profile of ...

The Expression of Neuropeptides in Pulpitis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuropeptides play key roles in the inflammatory, nociceptive and reparative processes of the dental pulp. Their upregulation has been frequently observed in inflamed pulps, suggesting potential diagnostic value supporting a role for neurogenic inflammation in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Swiss Practice Recommendations for Chronic Prurigo Including Prurigo Nodularis

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Chronic prurigo, including prurigo nodularis, is a chronic, often treatment‐refractory condition characterized by persistent pruritus and chronic scratch lesions. Advances in the understanding of its underlying pathophysiology have enabled the development of novel targeted therapies; however, management remains challenging due to the expanding range of

Scalp Dysesthesia: Emerging Pathophysiologic Insights and Therapeutic Implications

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Scalp dysesthesia is a chronic condition diagnosed through exclusion. This scoping review synthesized data from 59 patients to identify recurrent clinical features, comorbidities, and management strategies that may support earlier diagnosis. Emerging patterns suggest that neuronal sensitization may underlie common symptoms.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Neurokinin‐1 receptor antagonist (maropitant) for treatment of chronic idiopathic rhinitis in dogs: a pilot study

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Chronic idiopathic rhinitis is a common canine nasal disease with unknown aetiology and poor response to treatment. Neurokinin‐1 receptor activation has been associated with rhinitis in experimental animals. The aim of this pilot study was to compare the effects of oral neurokinin‐1 receptor antagonist (maropitant) with placebo on clinical ...

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...

Effects of photobiomodulation therapy on pulmonary inflammation in chronic asthma: Dosimetric study in an experimental model

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) was evaluated across a radiant energy range (1–7.5 J) in a murine model of chronic ovalbumin‐induced asthma to identify the optimal therapeutic dose. PBMT attenuated airway inflammation and remodelling, suppressed Th2 cytokines, and enhanced regulatory immune responses, highlighting a dose‐dependent immunomodulatory ...
