A novel anxiety-associated SNP identified in LYNX2 (LYPD1) is associated with decreased protein binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
IntroductionAnxiety disorders are among the most common mental illnesses in the US. An estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experience any anxiety disorder at some time in their lives.

Stac2 genetic deletion alters mouse chromaffin cells’ CaV channel composition, increases membrane excitability and reduces vesicle exocytosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stac2 adaptor protein is expressed in neurons and endocrine cells. Using a global Stac2 knockout mouse model here we investigated the role of endogenous Stac2 in adrenal gland mouse chromaffin cell (MCC) excitability and catecholamine vesicle exocytosis.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous and oral (S)‐ketamine: Investigating metabolite contribution to subjective effects

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 2260-2271, July 2026.
Aims Oral administration of (S)‐ketamine for treatment‐resistant depression (TRD), as alternative to the registered intranasal or off‐label intravenous administrations, has high potential. However, it is characterized by an extensive first‐pass metabolism, resulting in low (S)‐ketamine exposure and high levels of active metabolites, including (S ...

α7nAChR agonist GTS‐21 ameliorates sepsis‐induced acute kidney injury via MEF2/PGC‐1α/HO‐1 axis in mice

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This diagram illustrates opposing pathways regulating AKI (acute kidney injury). The left pathway shows LPS/TLR4 triggering mitochondrial damage (low MMP, Cyt C release, ROS) leading to apoptosis. The right pathway shows α7nAChR agonists activating MEF2 to upregulate PGC‐1α/HO‐1, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and inhibiting injury, highlighting ...

Neurodevelopmental Consequences Induced by Early‐Life Lead Exposure Through Disruption of Neurotransmitter Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms: A Systematic Review

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lead is a toxic heavy metal with significant health risks, as maternal lead exposure during pregnancy disrupts fetal neural development through placental transfer, leading to persistent neurological, developmental, and long‐term health consequences in the progeny.

Multi‐Targeting Ligands as Prospective Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease, a Prevalent Neurodegenerative Disorder: Mechanistic Insights, Emerging Targets and Drug Discovery Campaigns

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1173-1229, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory deterioration, and neuronal dysfunction. Its complex pathophysiology involves multiple interlinked processes, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

Low‐frequency electroacupuncture attenuates insulin resistance in a rat model of diet‐induced maternal obesity

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Maternal obesity is highly prevalent worldwide, conferring elevated risks of maternal/fetal complications and adult‐onset disease in offspring. Obesity and pregnancy are both states of insulin resistance. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of skeletal muscle, better known as electroacupuncture (EA), mitigates insulin resistance ...

Tuft cells trigger neurogenic inflammation in the urethra

Cell Reports
Summary: Cholinergic urethral tuft cells (UTCs) are regarded as sentinels of microbial products in the urogenital tract, initiating reflex micturition as a protective mechanism.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.
