Macrophages and autophagy: partners in crime

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a key regulator of macrophage function, influencing critical processes like polarization, cytokine secretion, and phagocytosis. Its impact on macrophage behavior varies across different tissues and disease contexts, where it can either promote protective responses or contribute to detrimental outcomes, depending on the physiological or ...

Two Amino Acid Residues Contribute to a Cation-π Binding Interaction in the Binding Site of an Insect GABA Receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Cys-loop receptor binding sites characteristically possess an "aromatic box," where several aromatic amino acid residues surround the bound ligand. A cation-π interaction between one of these residues and the natural agonist is common, although the ...

An adamantane‐based ligand as a novel chemical tool for thermosensory TRPM8 channel therapeutic modulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) is a cationic thermosensory channel crucial for cold sensation and menthol response. TRPM8 dysfunction leads to sensory symptoms such as cold allodynia. Targeting TRPM8 is important for treating diseases like peripheral neuropathies and cancer.

d‐amino acids: new functional insights

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This review explores recent advances in understanding d‐amino acids (d‐AAs) and their pivotal roles across organisms, from plants to humans. d‐AAs have been implicated in key physiological processes, including cancer, inflammation, immune regulation, kidney disease, diabetes, and nervous system function.

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 505-516, April 2025.
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...

Single-channel behavior of heteromeric α1β glycine receptors: an attempt to detect a conformational change before the channel opens [PDF]

, 2004
The α1β heteromeric receptors are likely to be the predominant synaptic form of glycine receptors in the adult. Their activation mechanism was investigated by fitting putative mechanisms to single-channel recordings obtained at four glycine ...

Spontaneous enteric nervous system activity generates contractile patterns prior to maturation of gastrointestinal motility

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Spontaneous neuronal network activity is critical for circuit maturation, yet whether this is a feature of enteric nervous system development has yet to be established. Here, we identify clustered ripples, a previously undescribed form of neurogenic gastrointestinal motility that shares many features with spontaneous neuronal networks in other systems.

Discrepancies Between Recommendations in Evidence‐Based Guidelines for the Management of Obesity in Adolescents and Adults: An Evidence Map

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Aim The aim of this evidence map is to provide a systematic overview of evidence‐based guidelines for the management of obesity and to highlight discrepancies between recommendations for the pediatric and adult populations. Knowing about these discrepancies may be relevant during the transition from pediatrics to adult healthcare to
