Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.

Cell-surface translational dynamics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
Synapse efficacy heavily relies on the number of neurotransmitter receptors available at a given time. In addition to the equilibrium between the biosynthetic production, exocytic delivery and recycling of receptors on the one hand, and the endocytic ...

Neural mechanisms and clinical features of anti‐influenza drug‐related psychiatric adverse events

VIEW, EarlyView.
Anti–influenza drugs, while essential, have been increasingly associated with psychiatric adverse events (pAEs). Our study systematically investigated these pAEs by utilizing large pharmacovigilance databases and animal models, thereby revealing key clinical features and underlying neural mechanisms.

Effect of varenicline on major adverse liver outcomes in alcohol‐associated liver disease: An exploratory analysis

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, EarlyView.
This real‐world study assessed whether varenicline improves outcomes in patients with ALD and AUD. Using data from a large electronic health record network, 1278 matched patients were analyzed. Varenicline use was associated with reduced all‐cause mortality and hepatic encephalopathy compared with FDA‐approved AUD therapies (acamprosate or naltrexone),

Pharmacological and Mechanistic Interventions for Cognitive Impairment Associated With Schizophrenia: A Review of Registered Clinical Trials

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Schizophrenia is characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Current pharmacological treatments often fail to address cognitive deficits. In this review of clinical trials, we aim to identify studies that explore neurobiological (non‐psychological) strategies to address Cognitive Impairment Associated with ...

Psychedelic‐assisted treatment for substance use disorder: A narrative systematic review

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims This is the first systematic review of the extant literature on all major psychedelic‐assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), tobacco use disorder (TUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD). We aimed to summarise the evidence for efficacy of psychedelic‐assisted treatment for AUD, TUD, and SUD; to evaluate its

Nicotinic Receptor Activity Alters Synaptic Plasticity

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
Studies using specific agonists, antagonists, and lesions have shown that nicotinic cholinergic systems participate in attention, learning, and memory[1,2].

Severe drug-induced repetitive behaviors and striatal overexpression of VAChT in ChAT-ChR2-EYFP BAC transgenic mice

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
In drug users, drug-related cues alone can induce dopamine release in the dorsal striatum. Instructive cues activate inputs to the striatum from both dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons, which are thought to work together to support motor learning and ...

Breast and Nipple Dermatoses During Lactation

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lactation and breastfeeding can present both psychological and physical challenges for breastfeeding mothers. In addition, many nursing mothers will also suffer from breast and nipple dermatoses during this period, compounding these difficulties. Common causes of breast and nipple dermatitis during lactation include eczema, psoriasis, mastitis,

Acetylcholine From Solitary Chemosensory Cell, Not Neuron, Regulates Basal Cell Fate Driving Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study identifies that Ach levels are elevated in eCRSwNP and primarily released from SCCs rather than neurons. Ach induces epithelial remodeling in eCRSwNP by binding to M1R/M3R and activating YAP signaling in basal cells, driving basal cell hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation. Blocking M1R/M3R with TB inhibits eCRSwNP progression.
