The Roles of Immunoregulatory Networks in Severe Drug Hypersensitivity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The immunomodulatory effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and co-signaling receptors have gained much attention, as they help balance immunogenic and immunotolerant responses that may be disrupted in autoimmune and infectious diseases.

Drugs for Allosteric Sites on Receptors [PDF]
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2014 The presence of druggable, topographically distinct allosteric sites on a wide range of receptor families has offered new paradigms for small molecules to modulate receptor function. Moreover, ligands that target allosteric sites offer significant advantages over the corresponding orthosteric ligands in terms of selectivity, including subtype ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Change of dopamine receptor mRNA expression in lymphocyte of schizophrenic patients
BMC Medical Genetics, 2001 Background Though the dysfunction of central dopaminergic system has been proposed, the etiology or pathogenesis of schizophrenia is still uncertain partly due to limited accessibility to dopamine receptor. The purpose of this study was to define whether

Receptor heteromerization and drug discovery [PDF]
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that convert extracellular information into intracellular signals. They are involved in many biological processes and therefore represent powerful targets to modulate physiological and pathological states.

Repurposing of the Drug Tezosentan for Cancer Therapy
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Tezosentan is a vasodilator drug that was originally developed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It acts by inhibiting endothelin (ET) receptors, which are overexpressed in many types of cancer cells. Endothelin-1 (ET1) is a substance produced by

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Kathmandu University Medical Journal, 2012 In present-day pharmacology and medicine, it is usually taken for granted that cells contain a host of highly specific receptors. Drugs act on the cell membrane by physical and/or chemical interactions. This is usually through specific drug receptor sites known to be located on the membrane. These are defined as proteins on or within the cell that bind
