Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

The lung is more than an organ of gas exchange: immunocompetency, platelets and implications for drug discovery

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The lungs have for a long time been recognised as having pharmacological significance as a specific organ to modulate the pharmacokinetics of endogenous substances needed to maintain homeostasis. The lungs are therefore the site of action of certain drugs that act on these homeostatic processes, resulting in systemic effects on the ...

Exercise‐related microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics: Conserved pathways, divergent microRNAs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Exercise‐related microRNAs cel‐miR‐249‐3p and cel‐miR‐77‐5p in C. elegans regulate lifespan, fitness, mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. Although lacking direct mammalian orthologs, H2O2‐induced microRNAs mmu‐miR‐181a‐5p and mmu‐miR‐378a‐3p regulate myogenesis, autophagy, mitochondrial content and respiration in murine myoblasts ...

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...

Age- and Experience-Related Plasticity of ATP-Mediated Signaling in the Neocortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
There is growing recognition of the important role of interaction between neurons and glial cells for brain longevity. The extracellular ATP have been shown to bring significant contribution into bi-directional glia-neuron communications, in particular ...

Synergistic Effects of Bacterial Mimetic and Mechanical Stimulation in Dental Pulp Cell Inflammatory Signalling: A Laboratory Investigation

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Mechanical and/or microbial stimuli can prompt extracellular ATP release in many cell types, where it acts as an inflammatory mediator to amplify pain signals and inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of microbial and/or mechanical stimulation on ATP and cytokine release from dental pulp cells (DPCs ...

Trichomoniasis immunity and the involvement of the purinergic signaling

open access: yesBiomedical Journal, 2016
Innate and adaptive immunity play a significant role in trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. In the urogenital tract, innate immunity is accomplished by a defense physical barrier constituted by epithelial ...

Postnatal developmental changes in the laryngeal chemosensory cell clusters of rats

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Chemosensory cell clusters appeared in the rat larynx 2 days after birth and were already connected to afferent nerve fibers. Their number increased until 3 weeks of age, then stabilized while continuing to grow through the addition of new cells. Because their number reached a plateau around the time of weaning, their development may be linked to ...

Antipsychotics‐Induced Hyposalivation Mediated by Impaired Salivary Ca2+ Signaling

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Antipsychotic‐induced salivary dysfunction such as hyposalivation is a prevalent clinical challenge that severely compromises oral health and quality of life. Although typical and atypical antipsychotics have their therapeutic target in the central nervous system, their direct molecular mechanisms within the salivary glands remain ...
