N‑methyl D‑aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are closely associated with the development, growth and metastasis of cancer. Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N‑methyl D‑aspartate‑associated protein 1 (GRINA) is a member of the of the NMDAR family, and its aberrant expression is associated with gastric cancer.

Chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity limits clinical applications for treating cancers. Pyroptosis, a newly discovered programmed cell death, was recently reported to be associated with kidney diseases. However, the role of pyroptosis in chemotherapeutic drug-induced nephrotoxicity has not been fully clarified. Herein

Cutaneous cold-induced vasoconstriction is a normal physiological reaction mediated by alpha 2C-adrenergic receptors (α2C-ARs) expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). When this reaction is exaggerated, Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) ensues. RP is more prevalent in females compared to age-matched men.

Chemical modifications of histones can mediate diverse DNA-templated processes, including gene transcription1-3. Here we provide evidence for a class of histone post-translational modification, serotonylation of glutamine, which occurs at position 5 (Q5ser) on histone H3 in organisms that produce serotonin
