Are we doing enough for the patient with myopia? A literature review
British and Irish Orthoptic Journal, 2011 Aim: Myopia is one of the most common eye conditions and often has a progressive nature. With higher degrees come greater risks of visual disability; however, typically no treatment is offered clinically to tackle myopic progression. This review aims to

Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]
, 2011 Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...

Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]
, 2015 Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be

Cholinergic-mediated IP3-ereceptor activation induces long-lasting synaptic enhancement in CA1 pyramidal neurons [PDF]
, 2008 Cholinergic–glutamatergic interactions influence forms of synaptic plasticity that are thought to mediate memory and learning. We tested in vitro the induction of long-lasting synaptic enhancement at Schaffer collaterals by acetylcholine (ACh) at the ...

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 1251-1274, July 2025.ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

Acetylcholine regulates ghrelin secretion in humans [PDF]
, 2004 Ghrelin secretion has been reportedly increased by fasting and energy restriction but decreased by food intake, glucose, insulin, and somatostatin. However, its regulation is still far from clarified.
