Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) engage sites distinct from the orthosteric CB1 cannabinoid receptor binding site. GAT211, a racemic ligand, contains GAT228 (R) and GAT229 (S) enantiomers. Whether enantiomer‐mediated differences in allosteric activation or positive allosteric modulation translate into differences in

Neuroimmune alterations and nociceptive behavior in oral carcinogenesis in rats
Abstract Oral cancer pain is a frequent and debilitating symptom associated with tumor progression. Although neuronal mechanisms have been extensively studied, the role of immune and glial cells in the trigeminal nociceptive pathway remains poorly understood.

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Abstract A recent study showed that female medaka lacking the estrogen receptor gene esr2b are unreceptive to male courtship and instead court other females. In this study, we investigated the brain transcriptome of esr2b‐deficient females to explore the underlying mechanisms of this behavioral phenotype, and identified npyb, one of the two ...

This study identified a functional proopiomelanocortin–β‐endorphin system in the rat colon. Peripheral CRF and repeated water avoidance stress increased colonic POMC expression, which was associated with reduced visceral pain. These findings suggest that, outside the pituitary, a CRF‐ and stress‐sensitive enteric POMC–β‐endorphin system may help ...

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic pain condition associated with widespread symptoms and perceptual distortions beyond nociception. Alterations in body image, body representation, and interoception may contribute to symptom severity and reduced quality of life. This review synthesizes evidence related to body image in adults with fibromyalgia.

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the algesic peptides, opioid peptides, naloxone-sensitive nonopioid peptides, naloxone-insensitive peptides, and peptides with mixed effects. The chapter presents certain criteria that need to be fulfilled to demonstrate the involvement of an endogenous peptide in nociception.

Understanding intracranial nociceptive innervation is essential to understand the pathophysiology of headaches. Our knowledge about human intracranial nociception comes from sparse observations during neurosurgical procedures performed in awake patients, from human anatomical studies and from experimental studies in animals.
