Nicotinic receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Regulation of normal or abnormal behaviour is critically controlled by the central serotonergic systems. Recent evidence has suggested that serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission dysfunction contributes to a variety of pathological conditions, including ...

Varenicline for cannabis use disorder: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Although cannabis use is widespread and prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) is increasing, limited advancements have been made in CUD medication development. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of varenicline with medical management for reducing cannabis use in treatment‐seeking individuals with CUD ...

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

Neurodevelopmental burden in young adults undergoing opioid substitution therapy: The role of inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms

open access: yesThe American Journal on Addictions, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is recognized as a condition that can persist into adulthood, often with psychiatric comorbidities that worsen the overall prognosis. ADHD has been associated with substance use disorders (SUDs), especially through symptoms like hyperactivity and impulsivity, while the ...

A Cation-π Interaction in the Binding Site of the Glycine Receptor Is Mediated by a Phenylalanine Residue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cys-loop receptor binding sites characteristically contain many aromatic amino acids. In nicotinic ACh and 5-HT3 receptors, a Trp residue forms a cation-{pi} interaction with the agonist, whereas in GABAA receptors, a Tyr performs this role.

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

open access: yesAllergy, 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.

When, where and how? Focus on neuronal calcium dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), since its characterization as a precise form of dementia with its own pathological hallmarks, has captured scientists\u2019 attention because of its complexity.

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

open access: yesBritish 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.

A Systematic Review on Drugs Acting as Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonists in the Treatment of Dementia

open access: yesCells
Acetylcholine signaling is attenuated in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. A significant reduction in the expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain of AD patients has also been reported in several molecular ...
