    Presynaptic NMDA receptors control nociceptive transmission at the spinal cord level in neuropathic pain

    Chronic neuropathic pain is a debilitating condition that remains challenging to treat. Glutamate N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists have been used to treat neuropathic pain, but the exact sites of...

    C33(S), a novel PDE9A inhibitor, protects against rat cardiac hypertrophy through upregulating cGMP signaling

    Phosphodiesterase-9A (PDE9A) expression is upregulated during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Accumulating evidence suggests that PDE9A might be a promising therapeutic target for heart diseases. The pr...

    Synthesis of the novel PARP-1 inhibitor AG-690/11026014 and its protective effects on angiotensin II-induced mouse cardiac remodeling

    We previously identified AG-690/11026014 (6014) as a novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitor that effectively prevented angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. In the present ...

    G9a is essential for epigenetic silencing of K+ channel genes in acute-to-chronic pain transition

    Chronic neuropathic pain is associated with K+ channel downregulation in primary sensory neurons. The authors show that G9a, a histone-modifying enzyme, is required for transcriptional repression of K+ channel–as...

    Presynaptic glycine receptors as a potential therapeutic target for hyperekplexia disease

    The authors show that a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, DH-CBD, can rescue exaggerated acoustic startle phenotypes caused by startle disease–causing point mutations in the glycine receptor (GlyR) α1 subunit. Homo...
