Optochemical modulation of corneal cold nerve terminal impulse activity with a photochromic ion channel blocker

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 3, Page 545-559, February 2026.
Background and Purpose The functional organization of corneal cold nerve endings, critical structures in maintaining the ocular surface, remains poorly understood. Here, the photoisomerizable small‐molecule diethylamine‐azobenzene‐quaternary ammonium (DENAQ) was used to photomodulate activity of cold‐sensing nerve terminals in control and chronic tear ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

The P2X7 Receptor and Its Relation to Neglected Tropical Diseases: Focusing on Chagas Disease

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that can lead to severe cardiac complications, including chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. While NTDs are caused by a variety of pathogens—such as protozoa, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, Chagas disease remains underexplored, particularly regarding host immune responses.

Mechanism and role of regulated cell death in tumor immunity and immunotherapy

Cancer Communications, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 1456-1495, November 2025.
Abstract Cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought breakthroughs, but only about one‐third of cancer patients benefit from ICIs. In recent years, targeting non‐apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD) subtypes, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, cuproptosis, and pyroptosis, has emerged as a novel strategy in cancer therapy due to ...

Astrocytic Connexin43 Channels Are Essential for Breathing Pattern Stabilization in the preBötzinger Complex

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Both pharmacological blockade and genetic knockdown of astrocytic connexin43 channels in the preBötzinger complex induce a high‐frequency breathing pattern, thereby enhancing respiratory motor output. This effect is mediated by astrocytic activation and subsequent ATP release, which activates P2Y1 receptors on somatostatin‐expressing preBötzinger ...

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Ischaemic Heart Disease: Lessons From Large Animal Models

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The coronary microvasculature is principally responsible for matching coronary blood flow to myocardial demand of oxygen and nutrients. Short‐term control of coronary blood flow is achieved via alterations in coronary microvascular tone, whereas long‐term control of coronary flow also involves remodelling of the coronary microvasculature ...

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

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3151-3162, July 2025.
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
