Cardiac muscarinic receptor overexpression in sudden infant death syndrome.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundSudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) remains the leading cause of death among infants less than 1 year of age. Disturbed expression of some neurotransmitters and their receptors has been shown in the central nervous system of SIDS victims but no

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Metformin shows potential in combating clozapine‐induced weight gain (CIWG). However, current evidence for its use remains limited. Through an audit we determined the prevalence of metformin use among clozapine‐treated patients and its impact on weight and waist circumference (WC).

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2023 The physiological significance of metabotropic acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematodes remains largely unexplored. Here, three different Trichinella spiralis G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors (TsGAR-1, -2, and -3) were identified in the ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 The microtubule associated protein tau is mainly found in the cell’s cytosol but recently it was also shown in the extracellular space. In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), pathological tau spreads from neuron to neuron enhancing

Accuracy of direct gradient sensing by cell-surface receptors [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Chemotactic cells of eukaryotic organisms are able to accurately sense shallow chemical concentration gradients using cell-surface receptors. This sensing ability is remarkable as cells must be able to spatially resolve small fractional differences in the numbers of particles randomly arriving at cell-surface receptors by diffusion.

Head‐To‐Head Comparison of Biologic Efficacy in Asthma: What Have We Learned?
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We performed an in‐depth appraisal of indirect head‐to‐head comparisons of biologics approved for asthma, including anti‐IL5/5Rα (mepolizumab, benralizumab), anti‐IL4Rα (dupilumab), anti‐TSLP (tezepelumab) and anti‐IgE (omalizumab), which was neither a systematic review nor a meta‐analysis.
