5-HT1 receptor antagonists have been discovered with good selectivity over the 5-HT transporter. This is the first report of highly potent, selective ligands for the 5-HT1A/B/D receptors with low intrinsic activity, which represent a useful set of molecules for further understanding the roles of the 5-HT1 receptor subtypes and providing new approaches for the treatment of depression.

Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has been studied in clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) to improve the outcomes from radical prostatectomy (RP) by 'debulking' of high-risk PCa; however, using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) at this point risks castration resistant PCa (CRPC) clonal proliferation. Our goal is to identify alternative NAT that reduce hormone sensitive PCa (HSPC) without affecting androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity. PCa is associated with increased expression and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, including HER2 and ErbB3.

While olfactory behaviors are influenced by neuromodulatory signals, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, consists of anteromedial (am) and lateral (l) domains regulating odor-guided attractive and aversive behaviors, respectively, in which the amOT highly expresses various receptors for feeding-regulated neuromodulators. Here we show functions of appetite-stimulating orexin-1 receptor (OxR1) signaling in the amOT.

Dental Pulp Regeneration in Dogs Using a CCR3 Antagonist Without Transplantation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells.

J Endod

December 2024

Tokyo New Drug Research Laboratories, Pharmaceutical Business Unit, Kowa Company, Ltd., 2-17-43 Noguchi-cho, Higashimurayama, Tokyo, Japan.

Introduction: Our previous study showed that transplantation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in combination with a chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) antagonist into the root canals of aged dogs promoted dental pulp regeneration. In this study, we attempted to regenerate dental pulp in young dogs using a CCR3 antagonist without DPSC transplantation.

Methods: The teeth of dogs were histologically evaluated 4 weeks after extraction of the pulp and administration of scaffold materials and CCR3 antagonist (KDH-136) into the root canal.

Aversive social learning with a dead conspecific is achieved by Pavlovian conditioning in crickets.

Neurobiol Learn Mem

December 2024

Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University Sapporo 060-0810, Japan; Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0812, Japan. Electronic address:

Social learning, learning from other individuals, has been demonstrated in many animals, including insects, but its detailed neural mechanisms remain virtually unknown. We showed that crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) exhibit aversive social learning with a dead conspecific. When a learner cricket was trained to observe a dead cricket on a drinking apparatus, the learner avoided the odor of that apparatus thereafter.
