Phosphocholine-Modified Lipooligosaccharides of Haemophilus influenzae Inhibit ATP-Induced IL-1beta Release by Pulmonary Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Phosphocholine-modified bacterial cell wall components are virulence factors enabling immune evasion and permanent colonization of the mammalian host, by mechanisms that are poorly understood.

Incidence of major cardiovascular events in patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in the general population

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Aims Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) related to cardiovascular disease are a major cause of death in patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We explored the impact of MASLD on incident MACE and overall mortality in the general population in Germany.

Activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by nicotine selectively up-regulates cyclooxygenase-2 and prostaglandin E₂ in rat microglial cultures

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2005
Background Nicotinic acetylcholine (Ach) receptors are ligand-gated pentameric ion channels whose main function is to transmit signals for the neurotransmitter Ach in peripheral and central nervous system.

Achieving maximal speed of solution exchange for patch clamp experiments. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Resolving the kinetics of agonist binding events separately from the subsequent channel gating processes requires the ability of applying and removing the agonist before channel gating occurs.

A fluorophore attached to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta M2 detects productive binding of agonist to the alpha delta site [PDF]

, 2004
To study conformational transitions at the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (nAChR), a rhodamine fluorophore was tethered to a Cys side chain introduced at the beta-19' position in the M2 region of the nAChR expressed in Xenopus oocytes ...

Reward learning as a potential target for pharmacological augmentation of cognitive remediation for schizophrenia: a roadmap for preclinical development. [PDF]

, 2013
RationaleImpaired cognitive abilities are a key characteristic of schizophrenia. Although currently approved pharmacological treatments have demonstrated efficacy for positive symptoms, to date no pharmacological treatments successfully reverse cognitive

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

An original potentiating mechanism revealed by the cryo-EM structures of the human α7 nicotinic receptor in complex with nanobodies

Nature Communications, 2023
The human α7 nicotinic receptor is a pentameric channel mediating cellular and neuronal communication. It has attracted considerable interest in designing ligands for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. To develop a novel class of α7

Identification of critical residues in loop E in the 5-HT(3AS)R binding site [PDF]

, 2002
BACKGROUND: The serotonin type 3 receptor (5-HT(3)R) is a member of a superfamily of ligand gated ion channels. All members of this family share a large degree of sequence homology and presumably significant structural similarity.

Vanillin Modulates the Sedative Effect of Diazepam, Possibly Through GABAergic Interaction Pathways in Thiopental Sodium‐Induced Sleeping Mice

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Vanillin showed moderate sedative and modulatory synergistic activities on diazepam in thiopental sodium‐induced sleeping mice. These effects are implicated with GABAergic intervention. ABSTRACT Insomnia is a common sleep disorder affecting approximately 10% of adults.
