Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily consists of the most common targets of approved drugs. Targeting GPCRs offers appealing avenues for therapeutic development. Antibodies and their fragments, such as single‐domain antibodies (VHHs or nanobodies), have emerged as useful alternatives to small molecule pharmacophores as building blocks in ...

Muscarinic M2 receptor promotes vasopressin synthesis in mice supraoptic nuclei
, 2018 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been suggested to be implicated in arginine–vasopressin secretion because intracerebroventricular muscarinic agonist administration induces arginine–vasopressin release into the circulation.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

Allostery of atypical modulators at oligomeric G protein-coupled receptors
Scientific Reports, 2021 Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are therapeutic targets, with most drugs acting at the orthosteric site. Some GPCRs also possess allosteric sites, which have become a focus of drug discovery.
