Study of opioid receptors [PDF]
1 ABSTRACT In this Thesis, we studied properties of μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors in lymphocytes isolated from rat spleen. This splenocytes were exposed to mitogen concanavalin A or opiate morphine and cultivated for 48 hours.

Contextual cues recruit the glutamatergic vCA1–dmPFC pathway to retrieve morphine reward memory by reshaping cell‐type‐specific prefrontal microcircuit activity. Distinct regulation of PV+ and SST+ interneurons defines this hippocampal–prefrontal mechanism.

Opposite effects of neuropeptide FF on central antinociception induced by endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 in mice. [PDF]
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is known to be an endogenous opioid-modulating peptide. Nevertheless, very few researches focused on the interaction between NPFF and endogenous opioid peptides. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of NPFF system

Stress-evoked opioid release inhibits pain in major depressive disorder [PDF]
To determine whether stress-evoked release of endogenous opioids might account for hypoalgesia in major depressive disorder (MDD), the μ-opioid antagonist naltrexone (50 mg) or placebo was administered double-blind to 24 participants with MDD and to 31 ...

Hederagenin is identified as a GABAA1‐targeting natural compound that suppresses morphine‐associated reward by restraining Ca2+–CaMK–cAMP–CREB signaling in ventral tegmental dopaminergic neurons. RVG29‐modified liposomal delivery further enhances brain accumulation and behavioral efficacy, providing a mechanistically defined strategy for natural ...

Recent experimental and clinical research has demonstrated that opioids can produce potent and receptor-specific analgesic effects outside the central nervous system. Opioid receptors are localized on peripheral terminals of sensory nerves and their endogenous ligands, opioid peptides, have been discovered in immune cells within inflamed tissue.

The role of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel in adenosine receptor-mediated cytoprotection [PDF]
The rat embryonic cardiomyoblast-derived H9c2 cell line is increasingly used for studies into cardioprotection, as these cells display similar properties to primary cardiomyocytes.

STING/Type I Interferon Pathway Activation Confers Multimodal Therapeutic Benefits in Osteomyelitis
STING/type I interferon signaling counteracts osteomyelitis through coordinated control of pain, bone destruction, and abscess formation. It inhibits pathogen‐induced nociceptor activation, restrains osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption, and suppresses IL‐1β‐driven neutrophil recruitment.

Molecular mechanism of allosteric modulation of opioid receptors
Opioid analgesics provide potent pain relief but are limited by severe adverse effects, tolerance, and interindividual genetic variability in response. Poly-pharmacology and allosteric modulation of opioid receptors offer promising strategies to enhance ...
