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 ...

Activation of endplate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by agonists [PDF]

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2015
The interaction of a small molecule made in one cell with a large receptor made in another is the signature event of cell signaling. Understanding the structure and energy changes associated with agonist activation is important for engineering drugs, receptors and synapses.

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Worsens Prognosis in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Propensity‐Matched Cohort Study

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Few data are available on the impact of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Objective We conducted a retrospective study using TriNetX to compare the outcomes of patients with IBD and those with concomitant IBD and PSC.

Nicotine Inhibits Clostridium difficile Toxin A-Induced Colitis but Not Ileitis in Rats

International Journal of Inflammation, 2016
Nicotine is protective in ulcerative colitis but not Crohn’s disease of the small intestine, but little is known about the effects of nicotine on Clostridium difficile toxin A-induced enteritis.

Dyskinesia and brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels after long-term levodopa and nicotinic receptor agonist treatments in female mice with near-total unilateral dopaminergic denervation

BMC Neuroscience, 2018
Background The treatment of Parkinson’s disease is often complicated by levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists can alleviate LID in animal models but may be less effective in conditions of severe dopaminergic ...

Developmental synaptic changes at the transient olivocochlear-inner hair cell synapse [PDF]

, 2019
In the mature mammalian cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) are mainly innervated by afferent fibers that convey sound information to the CNS. During postnatal development, however, medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent fibers transiently innervate the IHCs ...

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),

Cholinergic suppression: A postsynaptic mechanism of long-term associative learning [PDF]

, 1986
Food avoidance learning in the mollusc Pleurobranchaea entails reduction in the responsiveness of key brain interneurons in the feeding neural circuitry, the paracerebral feeding command interneurons (PCNs), to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (AcCho).

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 ...
