Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Movement Disorders, from Principles to a Systematic Review of Evidence

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The vagus nerve (VN), the principal component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), mediates bidirec communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral organs. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), delivered through invasive (iVNS) or non‐invasive (transcutaneous cervical [tcVNS] and ...

Navigating Solute Carrier Transporters—A Comprehensive Review of Functionalized Small Molecule Probes for Target Identification and Characterization

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are integral membrane proteins that play pivotal roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by mediating the transport of a diverse range of substrates across cell membranes. With their involvement in fundamental physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, neurotransmitter signaling, and drug transport ...

Investigation of the Mechanism of Cinnamaldehyde in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Based via Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Animal Experiments

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Through network pharmacology and molecular docking, it has been discovered that CA can target MAOB, among other proteins, to exert a therapeutic effect in IBS. In vivo, CA lowered visceral hypersensitivity, anxiety and depression‐like behaviors, and fecal water content, highlighting its therapeutic potential for IBS via anti‐inflammatory pathways ...

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Overview of Non-neuronal Cholinergic Systems and Their Biological

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a phylogenetically ancient molecule involved in cell-to-cell signaling in almost all life-forms on earth. Cholinergic components, including ACh, choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase, and muscarinic and nicotinic ACh ...

Expanding the Reach of Membrane Protein–Ligand Interaction Studies Through the Integration of Mass Spectrometry and Membrane Mimetics

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) offers robust, label‐free approaches for characterizing ligand–protein interactions through two main strategies: affinity‐based and stability‐based assays. However, their application to membrane proteins (MPs)—a major class of drug targets—has been limited by challenges such as structural complexity, low native ...

Inhibitory effects of pine nodule extract and its component, SJ-2, on acetylcholine-induced catecholamine secretion and synthesis in bovine adrenal medullary cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
Extract of pine nodules (matsufushi) formed by bark proliferation on the surface of trees of Pinus tabulaeformis or Pinus massoniana has been used as an analgesic for joint pain, rheumatism, neuralgia, dysmenorrhea and other complaints in Chinese ...

Uniquely human CHRFAM7A gene increases the hematopoietic stem cell reservoir in mice and amplifies their inflammatory response. [PDF]

, 2019
A subset of genes in the human genome are uniquely human and not found in other species. One example is CHRFAM7A, a dominant-negative inhibitor of the antiinflammatory α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR/CHRNA7) that is also a neurotransmitter ...

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.
