Elastic Hydrogel Microspheres for Disc Degeneration
2026-09-20
The reference study develops PMCCP, an elastic dual-network hydrogel microsphere that combines mechanically stable delivery with oxidative stimulus-responsive release of miR-155 and chitooligosaccharide. In cell and animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration, the platform reduced inflammatory and oxidative stress signals, limited nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis, and supported restoration of disc-cell function.

GRK Control of M1 Receptor Biased Signaling
2026-09-18
This 2025 study uses BRET-based kinetic interaction profiling to show that GRK subtype behavior helps determine whether M1 muscarinic receptors favor G-protein or β-arrestin coupling. Its analysis of BQCA and other ligands connects receptor pharmacology with measurable changes in signaling-protein engagement, while also defining important limits for translating these findings to cognition or disease models.
