What Role Does the Central Nervous System Play in Refractory LUTS, and What Are the Therapeutic Implications? ICI‐RS 2025

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims While many patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improve by treating peripheral causes, a substantial proportion continue to experience symptoms despite apparently successful interventions. Central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms could potentially contribute to persisting symptoms after the initial peripheral cause has been ...

Drosophila Neurotrophins Reveal a Common Mechanism for Nervous System Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Neurotrophic interactions occur in Drosophila, but to date, no neurotrophic factor had been found. Neurotrophins are the main vertebrate secreted signalling molecules that link nervous system structure and function: they regulate neuronal survival ...

Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Presence of Functional Neurotrophin TrkB Receptors in the Rat Superior Cervical Ganglion

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Sympathetic neurons express the neurotrophin receptors TrkA, p75NTR, and a non-functional truncated TrkB isoform (TrkB-Tc), but are not thought to express a functional full-length TrkB receptor (TrkB-Fl).

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

The effect of vitamin D supplementation and high-intensity interval training on BDNF-TrkB expression in rats fed a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet [PDF]

open access: yesMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Īlām
Introduction:  Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has beneficial effects on non-neuronal tissues, particularly cardiovascular cells, but its effects on the BDNF-TrkB pathway in heart tissue have not been studied. Therefore, the aim of the study was

Deletion of Tsc2 in nociceptors reduces target innervation, ion channel expression, and sensitivity to heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is known to regulate cellular growth pathways, and its genetic activation is sufficient to enhance regenerative axon growth following injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems.

Psilocybin as a novel treatment for chronic pain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Psychedelic drugs are under active consideration for clinical use and have generated significant interest for their potential as anti‐nociceptive treatments for chronic pain, and for addressing conditions like depression, frequently co‐morbid with pain.

Cleavage of the TrkB-FL receptor during epileptogenesis: insights from a kainic acid-induced model of epilepsy and human samples

open access: yesPharmacological Research
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for neuronal survival, differentiation, and plasticity. In epilepsy, BDNF exhibits a dual role, exerting both antiepileptic and pro-epileptic effects.
