High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex [PDF]

Physiological Reports, 30th Dec. 2016, Vol. 4 no. e13051, 2016
NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability. There are different NMDA receptor subtypes which differ in their single-channel conductance.

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

Agonist-selective activation of individual G-proteins by muscarinic receptors

Scientific Reports
Selective activation of individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors is a promising way to safely alleviate a wide range of pathological conditions in the central nervous system and the periphery as well.

Muscarinic M1 receptors stimulated by intracerebroventricular administration of McN-A-343 reduces the nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity via GABAB receptors rather than GABAA receptors in mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
Cholinergic neurons play an important role in the higher functions of the brain, such as the memory, cognition, and nociception. However, the exact mechanism behind how the stimulation of all the muscarinic M1 receptors in the entire brain results in the

Cargo binding promotes KDEL receptor clustering at the mammalian cell surface [PDF]

Sci. Rep. 6, 28940, 2016, 2017
Transmembrane receptor clustering is a ubiquitous phenomenon in pro- and eukaryotic cells to physically sense receptor/ligand interactions and subsequently translate an exogenous signal into a cellular response. Despite that receptor cluster formation has been described for a wide variety of receptors, ranging from chemotactic receptors in bacteria to ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Periodontitis presenting among betel quid users: A case series

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Betel leaf chewing habit has been studied extensively, as it has been an ancient practice in many Asian countries. Although betel leaf has been reported to have potential beneficial properties, it has also been shown to have a strong association with oral diseases, including periodontitis. This case series addresses the presentation

Immune cell dynamics in heart failure: implicated mechanisms and therapeutic targets

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract The relationship between heart failure (HF) and immune activation has garnered significant interest. Studies highlight the critical role of inflammation in HF, affecting cardiac structure and function. Despite promising anti‐inflammatory therapies, clinical trials have faced challenges, indicating an incomplete understanding of immune ...

PET mapping of receptor occupancy using joint direct parametric reconstruction [PDF]

Receptor occupancy (RO) studies using PET neuroimaging play a critical role in the development of drugs targeting the central nervous system (CNS). The conventional approach to estimate drug receptor occupancy consists in estimation of binding potential changes between two PET scans (baseline and post-drug injection).
