Opioids and Their Receptors [PDF]

, 2020
The interest in opioids such as morphine, the prototypical opioid ligand, has been maintained through the years. The identification of endogenous opioids and their receptors (mu, delta, kappa, and nociceptin), molecular cloning, and the elucidation of ...

Proteomic exploration of potential blood biomarkers in haemophilic arthropathy

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Background and Aims The pathophysiology of haemophilic arthropathy (HA) is complex and largely undefined. Proteomic analyses provide insights into the intricate mechanisms of the HA. Our study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in relation to the severity of HA, explore their pathophysiological roles, and evaluate their ...

Early life interventions metformin and trodusquemine metabolically reprogram the developing mouse liver through transcriptomic alterations

Aging Cell, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2024.
This study examined the effects of metformin (MF) and trodusquemine (MSI‐1436) on the livers of young, developing mice. We discovered that MSI‐1436 significantly alters mRNA and miRNA expression more potently than MF, impacting key metabolic pathways.

Scale‐Dependent Rheology of Synovial Fluid Lubricating Macromolecules

Small, Volume 20, Issue 21, May 23, 2024.
A multiscale methodology using optical tweezers is developed to examine the interactions between hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycan‐4 (PRG4/lubricin), which are major lubricating biomolecules of synovial fluid in the joints. For the first time, the length scale dependent structure and rheology in solution are characterized, providing a framework for

Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) treatment improves skin wound healing in a porcine model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 38, Issue 6, 31 March 2024.
Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is commonly found in synovial fluid of the articular joint and serves as a boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Interestingly, we show that human recombinant proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) improves healing of porcine full‐thickness skin injuries. rhPRG4 treatment decreases fibrosis, increases vascularization, and retains adipocytes

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SOMATOMEDIN RECEPTOR FROM THE A1684 HUMAN CHONDROSARCOMA CELL LINE

, 1984
In studies aimed at understanding the mechanism of action of somatomedins on their target cells, a human chondrosarcoma cell line (A1684) was utilized to study the interaction of a somatomedin with its specific receptor.

Advances in the Use of Biologics and Biomaterials toward the Improvement of Pancreatic Islet Graft Survival in Type 1 Diabetes

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2024.
Although islet transplantation has the potential to serve as a curative treatment for type 1 diabetes, there are many hurdles to achieving long‐term islet graft survival. This review discusses the recent advances in strategies to improve islet survival function using exogenous compounds and conformal coatings as a promising tool for improving islet ...

Recombinant glycine receptors: stoichiometry and kinetics [PDF]

, 2009
Glycine receptors (GlyR) are anion-permeable channels that belong to the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family. Different GlyR subtypes are known. The main synaptic form is thought to be α1β heteropentamers which mediate fast synaptic inhibition in ...

Identification of a domain which affects kinetics and antagonistic potency of clozapine at 5-HT3 receptors. [PDF]

, 2009
The widely used atypical antipsychotic clozapine is a potent competitive antagonist at 5-HT(3) receptors which may contribute to its unique psychopharmacological profile. Clozapine binds to 5-HT(3) receptors of various species.

GABA_{B} Receptors Regulate Chick Retinal Calcium Waves [PDF]

, 2001
Correlated spiking activity and associated Ca²⁺ waves in the developing retina are important in determining the connectivity of the visual system. Here, we show that GABA, via GABA_{B} receptors, regulates the temporal characteristics of Ca²⁺ waves ...
