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.

Anti‐inflammatory effects of physical stimuli: The central role of networks in shaping the future of pharmacological research

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

Conformational dynamics of a nicotinic receptor neurotransmitter site

eLife
Agonists enhance receptor activity by providing net-favorable binding energy to active over resting conformations, with efficiency (η) linking binding energy to gating.

Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Association of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with central respiratory control in isolated brainstem-spinal cord preparation of neonatal rats

Biological Research, 2006
Nicotine exposure is a risk factor in several breathing disorders Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) exist in the ventrolateral medulla, an important site for respiratory control.

Endocrine Functions of Bone Are Suppressed by Orally Administered Glucose Regardless of Bodyweight

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Bone is a target for diabetic complications, but the impact of metabolic changes on bone metabolism is less understood. Bones participate in energy metabolism by via secreted osteokines. Glucose ingestion reduces bone resorption, but the effects on osteokines remain unknown. Further, it is not known whether the response is altered in

Baseline characteristics in the SYNCHRONIZE™‐2 randomized phase 3 trial of survodutide, a glucagon receptor/GLP‐1 receptor dual agonist, for obesity in people with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Survodutide is an investigational glucagon receptor/glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor dual agonist that has shown promise for treating obesity and its complications in Phase 2 trials. Two double‐blind, randomized, global Phase 3 trials are designed to assess the efficacy and safety of survodutide for treatment of obesity—SYNCHRONIZE™‐1 in ...
