Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Amylin analogues as a novel perspective in anti‐obesity therapy
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

Educational Forum - Calcitonin gene-related peptide: Understanding its role [PDF]
, 2004 Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a 37 amino acid neuropeptide, identified in multiple species, has widespread distribution and expression. CGRP acts through G protein-coupled receptors whose presence and changes in function modulate the peptide′s ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The current obesity drug landscape, dominated by GLP‐1 receptor agonists and emerging multi‐agonist therapies, has reinforced that long‐term weight loss is achieved in large part through central mechanisms that suppress appetite and reshape energy balance.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Chronic migraine (CM) is a highly disabling condition that remains suboptimally treated. Metabolic disturbances may trigger migraine chronification, whereas impaired endogenous pain inhibition contributes to CM development. Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs), used for type 2 diabetes and obesity, show efficacy ...

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The role of amylin signalling in energy balance control has been understudied in calcitonin receptor (CTR) expressing nuclei such as the mesopontine laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDTg). Our lab has shown that LDTg amylin signalling reduces feeding and body weight, but the neuronal phenotype and downstream targets of LDTgCTR cells ...
