Monthly buprenorphine depot injection (SUBLOCADE®) for opioid use disorder during pregnancy

The American Journal on Addictions, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnancy is associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes, maternal morbidity, and maternal mortality. This article will inform clinicians about the use of monthly extended‐release buprenorphine (BUP‐XR, SUBLOCADE®) to treat OUD during pregnancy and postpartum.

Dysregulated homeostasis of acetylcholine levels in immune cells of RR-multiple sclerosis patients [PDF]

, 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Acetylcholine (ACh) contributes to the modulation of central and peripheral inflammation.

Compression‐Expansion: Miniaturization, Modularity, and Logistics Beyond Earth

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If the Cold War space race culminated in a return to Earth, at present we are experiencing a renewed interest in space. Drawing on fieldwork among people working in the space sector in Sweden, this article focuses on some of the imaginaries underpinning this resurgence and the contemporary commercialization of space. Specifically, I hone in on

Mutations affecting agonist sensitivity of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Biophysical Journal, 1991
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is a pentameric transmembrane protein (alpha 2 beta gamma delta) that binds the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and transduces this binding into the opening of a cation selective channel. The agonist, competitive antagonist, and snake toxin binding functions of the AChR are associated with the alpha ...

Medication review interventions for adults living with advanced chronic kidney disease: A scoping review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 4, Page 1132-1156, April 2025.
Abstract Structured medication reviews (SMRs) were introduced into the National Health Service (NHS) Primary Care to support the delivery of the NHS Long‐Term Plan for medicines optimization. SMRs improve the quality of care, reduce harm and offer value for money. However, evidence to support SMRs for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage G4‐

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

Uniquely human CHRFAM7A gene increases the hematopoietic stem cell reservoir in mice and amplifies their inflammatory response. [PDF]

, 2019
A subset of genes in the human genome are uniquely human and not found in other species. One example is CHRFAM7A, a dominant-negative inhibitor of the antiinflammatory α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR/CHRNA7) that is also a neurotransmitter ...

Channel blocking properties of a series of nicotinic cholinergic agonists

Biophysical Journal, 1993
Inhibition of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) by channel blockade has been demonstrated with a variety of large organic cations, including several nicotinic agonists. We have studied the kinetics of channel blocking of a series of agonists which vary systematically in size and hydrophobicity due to a hydrocarbon chain from one to six ...

Novel FKBP prolyl isomerase 1A (FKBP12) ligand promotes functional improvement in SOD1G93A amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 11, Page 2466-2486, June 2025.
Background and Purpose Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. ALS pathogenesis involves intricate processes within motor neurons, characterized by dysregulated Ca2+ influx and buffering in early ALS‐affected motor neurones. This study proposes the modulation of ryanodine receptors (
