GPR88 inhibits G-protein signaling of nearby GPCRs, and dampens b-arrestin recruitment by all GPCRs tested, likely by sequestration in intracellular compartments.

The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.

A novel high-throughput, whole organism chemical screening platform was used to identify existing drugs that increase pancreatic beta-cell mass in zebrafish, implicating unique roles for the NF-κB and serotonergic signaling pathways in regulating pancreatic biology.

Modulation of the aging process through cell signaling represents a recent and exciting area of study with the potential for development of therapeutics to extend human health.
There is substantial individual variation in behavioral and neural responses to acute ketamine administration in healthy controls, which emphasises the need for personalized approaches when harnessing ketamine as a treatment for depression.
The microenvironment of brain tumors can be modulated by in vivo conditions that change the brain levels of BDNF and IL-15, with effects on innate immune cell activation.
