Microscopy and spectroscopy approaches to study GPCR structure and function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The GPCR signalling cascade is a key pathway responsible for the signal transduction of a multitude of physical and chemical stimuli, including light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones. Understanding the structural and functional properties of the GPCR cascade requires direct observation of signalling processes in high spatial and ...

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

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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

Altered desensitization and internalization patterns of rodent versus human glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. An important drug discovery challenge

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The gut hormone glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) signals via the GIP receptor (GIPR), resulting in postprandial potentiation of glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion. The translation of results from rodent studies to human studies has been challenged by the unexpected effects of GIPR‐targeting compounds.

The path to the G protein‐coupled receptor structural landscape: Major milestones and future directions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

Characterisation of neurogenic lipolytic responses in white adipose tissue ex vivo

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 9, Page 1975-1988, May 2025.
Background and Purpose Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction, including metabolic syndrome and obesity. Understanding mechanisms of neurogenic control of white adipose tissue is key to understanding adipose physiology and pathophysiology, though there is limited research exploring this in adipose ...

Vitamin D deficiency induces erectile dysfunction: Role of superoxide and Slpi

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and erectile dysfunction (ED). We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D receptor (VDR) knockout causes ED and analysed the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Ketotic Hypoglycaemia Following Sleeve Gastrectomy

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐bariatric surgery hypoglycaemia is typically mediated by hyperinsulinaemia, although the exact mechanisms are incompletely understood. Two cases of non‐insulin mediated, ketotic hypoglycaemia following sleeve gastrectomy are presented. After fasting for 40 and 65 h, respectively, both patients developed symptomatic hypoglycaemia, with ...

Approach to the Management of Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Patients With Phaeochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Managing gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) is challenging due to the risk of catecholaminergic crisis with many commonly prescribed medications, especially in functional tumours.
