Oxytocin Receptor Signaling in Vascular Function and Stroke

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) is a G protein-coupled receptor with a diverse repertoire of intracellular signaling pathways, which are activated in response to binding oxytocin (OXT) and a similar nonapeptide, vasopressin.

Dual Pathways Coupled to Oxytocin Molecular Signals in Cultured Astrocytes

Cells
Oxytocin’s capacity to affect the glial cell functions is increasingly recognized. We previously reported that oxytocin could cause both excitation and inhibition of Ca2+ signals and glutamate release in the processes of adult rodent astrocytes.

Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...
