Thiostrepton alleviates experimental colitis by promoting RORγt ubiquitination and modulating dysbiosis.

Thiostrepton (TST) is a natural antibiotic with pleiotropic properties. This study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic effect of TST on experimental colitis and identify its targets. The effect of TST […]

TRPV4 Activation and its Intracellular Modulation Mediated by Kinin Receptors Contribute to Painful Symptoms Induced by Anastrozole.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, induces painful musculoskeletal symptoms, which affect patients’ quality of life and lead to therapy discontinuation. Efforts have been made to understand the mechanisms involved in these […]

Wnt signaling is involved in crotalphine-induced analgesia in a rat model of neuropathic pain.

The aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin and atypical Wnt/Ryk signaling pathways in the spinal cord is critical for the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Crotalphine is a structural analog to […]

Loss of ATP-sensitive channel expression and function decreases opioid sensitivity in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes.

During diabetes, β-cell dysfunction due to loss of potassium channels sensitive to ATP, known as K channels occurs progressively over time contributing to hyperglycemia. K channels are additionally present in […]

Preclinical study in a postoperative pain model to investigate the action of ketamine, lidocaine, and ascorbic acid in reversing fentanyl-induced, non-glutamate-dependent hyperalgesia.

Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a paradoxical phenomenon in which exposure to opioids can increase sensitivity to painful stimuli. Currently, several drugs have been used in an attempt to prevent OIH. […]

Cryo-EM structures of human GPR34 enable the identification of selective antagonists.

GPR34 is a functional G-protein-coupled receptor of Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), and has pathogenic roles in numerous diseases, yet remains poorly targeted. We herein report a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of GPR34 […]

Intra-articular delivery of an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase galectin-3 fusion protein for osteoarthritis treatment in male Lewis rats.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is driven by low-grade inflammation, and controlling local inflammation may offer symptomatic relief. Here, we developed an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and galectin-3 fusion protein (IDO-Gal3), where IDO increases the […]

Efficacy and safety of intranasal agents for the acute treatment of migraine: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Intranasal agents may be ideal for the treatment of migraine patients. Many new acute intranasal-specific therapies have been developed, but few of them have been directly compared. The aim of […]
