The development of effective approaches to the treatment of patients with symptomatic tumor epilepsy was determined by the level of our fundamental knowledge of the basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis on cellular and molecular level.

Glutamatergic Mechanisms in Glioblastoma and Tumor-Associated Epilepsy
The progression of glioblastomas is associated with a variety of neurological impairments, such as tumor-related epileptic seizures. Seizures are not only a common comorbidity of glioblastoma but often an initial clinical symptom of this cancer entity ...

Enigmatic orphan glutamate delta receptors (GluD) are one of the four classes of the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that play key roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity. While members of other iGluR families viz AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors are gated by glutamate, the GluD receptors neither bind glutamate nor evoke ligand-induced ...

The prodrug strategy used in this study offers new promise for cancer metabolism‐based therapies. JHU083, a prodrug that, when cleaved by protease in the tumor microenvironment, yields the glutamine antagonist DON. JHU083 inhibits tumor growth by targeting glutamine‐addicted cancer cells and suppressing glutamine‐dependent M2 macrophages, leading to a ...

It has been suggested that opioid tolerance and dependence share common mechanisms with neuropathic pain. This short review deals with the role of glutamate and glutamate receptors in opioid tolerance and dependence, and neuropathic pain.

Ubiquitin-dependent trafficking and turnover of ionotropic glutamate receptors
Changes in synaptic strength underlie the basis of learning and memory and are controlled, in part, by the insertion or removal of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at the postsynaptic membrane of excitatory synapses.

Two Adjacent Phenylalanines In the NMDA Receptor GluN2A Subunit M3 Domain Interactively Regulate Alcohol Sensitivity and Ion Channel Gating [PDF]
The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a key target of ethanol action in the central nervous system. Alcohol inhibition of NMDA receptor function involves small clusters of residues in the third and fourth membrane-associated (M) domains.

Intersection Between Local Anesthetics and Cancer Biology: What Now? Where Are We Going?
Local anesthetics (LAs), widely used in anesthesia, may also play a role in cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor growth, reducing metastasis, and enhancing immune responses. They modulate key pathways like AKT/mTOR and RAS/ERK while affecting angiogenesis and tumor innervation and the immune response.

Glutamate receptor expression and chronic glutamate toxicity in rat motor cortex
In addition to the loss of spinal motor neurons, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is also associated with degeneration of corticospinal layer V pyramidal neurons and decreased glutamate transport in the cortex. We characterized the glutamate receptors
