Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2025 Feb; 122(8):e2421717122. PMID: 39977325
While it is known that endocannabinoids (eCB) modulate multiple neuronal functions, the molecular mechanism governing their release and transport remains elusive. Here, we propose an "" model, wherein the formation...

Feng C, Liu R, Brooks R, Wang X, Jespers W, Gorostiola Gonzalez M, et al.
Eur J Pharmacol . 2024 Oct; 985:177081. PMID: 39481631
The serotonin 5-HT receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mainly expressed in the central nervous system. Besides regulating mood, appetite, and reproductive behavior, it has been identified as a...

RSC Med Chem . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39345718
The norepinephrine transporter (NET), encoded by the SLC6A2 gene, is one of three key monoamine neurotransmitter transporters. Inhibition of NET-mediated reuptake of norepinephrine by monoamine reuptake inhibitors has been the...

Chimia (Aarau) . 2024 Sep; 78(7-8):499-512. PMID: 39221845
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a critical regulatory network composed of endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs), their synthesizing and degrading enzymes, and associated receptors. It is integral to maintaining homeostasis and orchestrating...

Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Aug; 25(16). PMID: 39201670
CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) has been linked to many inflammatory and immune diseases, making it a relevant drug target. Yet, all CCR2 antagonists developed so far have failed in...
