Molecular basis for a pore block of Tentonin 3 expressed in HEK293 cells by a conopeptide, NMB‐1

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Tentonin 3 (TTN3/TMEM150C) is a mechanosensitive ion channel that plays critical roles in mechanotransduction processes. TTN3 forms a tetramer with a predicted rectangular shape and a central pore. A conotoxin ρ‐TIA and its synthetic analog, noxious mechanosensation blocker 1 (NMB‐1), were initially developed to inhibit slowly ...

Microscopic and molecular aspects of skeletal muscle alterations in cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Cerebral palsy, caused by non‐progressive brain injury, is frequently accompanied by skeletal muscle alterations. This review synthesizes current evidence from muscle biopsy studies, revealing cellular and molecular adaptations in muscle tissue. Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP), the most prevalent childhood‐onset motor disability, frequently entails ...

Editorial Perspective: Smoking, vaping and mental health – a perspective on potential causal mechanisms

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
This editorial perspective focuses on the complex relationship of cigarette smoking and e‐cigarette use (‘vaping’) with mental health problems. It is challenging to reliably determine the causal nature of these associations because both (e‐)smoking and mental health problems generally arise during adolescence, and both are highly multifactorial in ...

Dual impact of smoking cessation and post‐cessation weight change on psoriasis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Although smoking cessation generally reduced the risk of psoriasis, especially psoriasis vulgaris and palmoplantar pustulosis, post‐cessation weight gain weakened this benefit, mainly for psoriasis vulgaris. Nonetheless, cessation maintained a substantial protective effect against palmoplantar pustulosis, and long‐term advantages outweighed the adverse

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

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.

GABAB receptor‐mediated modulation of sensory neuron excitability: Roles of CaV2.2, G‐protein‐coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, and hyperpolarisation‐activated cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels in human and mouse nociception

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic visceral pain is a key symptom of irritable bowel syndrome. Modulation of voltage‐gated calcium and potassium channels by G protein‐coupled receptors plays a key role in dampening nociceptive transmission. Both baclofen and the analgesic peptide α‐conotoxin Vc1.1 activate GABAB receptors (GABABR), resulting in inhibition of CaV2.2 and ...
