Possible involvement of neuropeptide and neurotransmitter receptors in Adenomyosis
Background Accumulating data indicate that sensory nerve derived neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene related-protein (CGRP) can accelerate the progression of endometriosis via their respective receptors, so can agonists to their ...

Current status and future directions of botulinum neurotoxins for targeting pain processing. [PDF]
Current evidence suggests that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A1 and B1, given locally into peripheral tissues such as skin, muscles, and joints, alter nociceptive processing otherwise initiated by inflammation or nerve injury in animal models and humans.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

The functional unit for inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system is the neuronal synapse. The number of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors at the cell surface is an important determinant of synaptic efficacy and plasticity.

An in vivo biosensor for neurotransmitter release and in situ receptor activity. [PDF]
Tools from molecular biology, combined with in vivo optical imaging techniques, provide new mechanisms for noninvasively observing brain processes. Current approaches primarily probe cell-based variables, such as cytosolic calcium or membrane potential ...

NKCC1: A key regulator of glioblastoma progression
Glioblastoma (GBM) progression is driven by disrupted chloride cotransporter homeostasis. NKCC1 is highly expressed in stem‐like, astrocytic, and progenitor cells, correlating with earlier recurrence, while overall survival remains unaffected. NKCC1 serves as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target, linking chloride transporter imbalance ...

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Antipsychotic-Induced Parkinsonism
Among neurological adverse reactions in patients with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotics (APs), drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the most common motility disorder caused by drugs affecting dopamine receptors.

The role of the neuromodulator adenosine in alcohols actions. [PDF]
The interaction between the neuromodulator adenosine and adenosine receptors on the surface of neurons modifies the neurons responses to neurotransmitters.

Dopamine-D1 and δ-opioid receptors co-exist in rat striatal neurons [PDF]
Cocaine’s enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway plays a critical role in the initial reinforcing properties of this drug. However, other neurotransmitter systems are also integral to the addiction process.
