Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide (CGRP)‐Expressing Neurons in the External Lateral Parabrachial Area Regulate Pain‐Induced Sleep Disturbances

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lynch et al., identified novel targets on the wake‐promoting pathways that can effectively treat pain‐induced sleep disturbances. The authors demonstrated that Calcitonin gene‐related peptide‐expressing neurons (CGRP) in the external lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBelCGRP) serve as the primary relay node for pain stimuli that cause sleep disruption ...

Amelioration of injury-induced tissue acidosis by a nonsteroidal analgesic attenuates antinociceptive effects of the pH-dependent opioid agonist NFEPP

Scientific Reports, 2022
Opioid agonists are powerful drugs for managing pain. However, their central side effects are limiting their use and drugs with similar potency, but a lower risk profile are needed. (±)-N-(3-fluoro-1-phenethylpiperidine-4-yl)-N-phenylpropionamide (NFEPP)

Generation of Neural Organoids and Their Application in Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neural organoids provide a versatile platform for neurological research. Advances in organoid technology have partially achieved human neural tissue complexity in terms of tissue structure, cell diversity, and neural signaling, offering insights into neural disorders and regenerative strategies. Technology advances from biomaterials, bio‐manufacturing,

Opioid and GABAB receptors differentially couple to an adenylyl cyclase/protein kinase A downstream effector after chronic morphine treatment.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Opioids are intensely addictive, and cessation of their chronic use is associated with a highly aversive withdrawal syndrome. A cellular hallmark of withdrawal is an opioid sensitive protein kinase A-dependent increase in GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1 ...

Five Decades of Research on Opioid Peptides: Current Knowledge and Unanswered Questions

Molecular Pharmacology, 2020
In the mid-1970s, an intense race to identify endogenous substances that activated the same receptors as opiates resulted in the identification of the first endogenous opioid peptides.

Weight Cycling Deregulates Eating Behavior in Mice via the Induction of Durable Gut Dysbiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Weight cycling in Humans is suspected to dysregulate eating behavior. Mice submitted to body weight cycling by alternating western‐type and regular chow diets display increased hedonic appetite when exposed to a palatable diet, reminiscent of binge‐eating episodes.

Analgesia linked to Nav1.7 loss of function requires µ- and δ-opioid receptors [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

Physiology, signaling, and pharmacology of opioid receptors and their ligands in the gastrointestinal tract: current concepts and future perspectives

Journal of gastroenterology, 2013
Opioid receptors are widely distributed in the human body and are crucially involved in numerous physiological processes. These include pain signaling in the central and the peripheral nervous system, reproduction, growth, respiration, and immunological ...

Opioid system is necessary but not sufficient for antidepressive actions of ketamine in rodents

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has generated intense excitement as a therapy for treatment-resistant depression. However, ketamine and its metabolites can act on a wide range of targets, including opioid receptors, which has raised ...

Nano‐Anesthetics Regulate Neuro‐Immune Interaction for Treating Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ce‐UiO‐66‐Bupivacaine (CUB) demonstrates triple therapeutic innovation: 1) Sustained analgesia with ROS scavenging synergistically resolves neuropathic pain; 2) Microglia/astrocyte polarization switch reprograms the pro‐regenerative immune microenvironment; 3) CGRP‐TSP‐1 axis activation couples inflammation suppression to axon regeneration, defining a ...
