Development of a novel cell-based, In-Cell Western/ERK assay system for the high-throughput screening of agonists acting on the delta-opioid receptor (2022)
Journal Article
Asghar, J., Latif, L., Alexander, S. P. H., & Kendall, D. A. (2022). Development of a novel cell-based, In-Cell Western/ERK assay system for the high-throughput screening of agonists acting on the delta-opioid receptor. Frontiers in Pharmacology, 13, Article 933356. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.933356

Background: Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are important signaling mediators in mammalian cells and, as a result, one of the major areas of research focus. The detection and quantification of ERK phosphorylation as an index of activati...

Environmental pharmacology—Dosing the environment: IUPHAR review 36 (2022)
Journal Article
Connolly, C. N., Alexander, S. P., Davies, J. A., & Spedding, M. (2022). Environmental pharmacology—Dosing the environment: IUPHAR review 36. British Journal of Pharmacology, 179(23), 5172-5179. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.15933

Pesticide action is predominantly measured as a toxicological outcome, with pharmacological impact of sublethal doses on bystander species left largely undocumented. Likewise, chronic exposure, which often results in responses different from acute ad... Read More about Environmental pharmacology—Dosing the environment: IUPHAR review 36.

Planning experiments: Updated guidance on experimental design and analysis and their reporting III (2022)
Journal Article
Curtis, M. J., Alexander, S. P. H., Cirino, G., George, C. H., Kendall, D. A., Insel, P. A., …Ahluwalia, A. (2022). Planning experiments: Updated guidance on experimental design and analysis and their reporting III. British Journal of Pharmacology, 179(15), 3907-3913. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.15868

Scientists who plan to publish in British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) must read this article before undertaking a study. This editorial provides guidance for the design of experiments. We have published previously two guidance documents on experime... Read More about Planning experiments: Updated guidance on experimental design and analysis and their reporting III.

Community guidelines for GPCR ligand bias: IUPHAR review 32 (2022)
Journal Article
Kolb, P., Kenakin, T., Alexander, S. P. H., Bermudez, M., Bohn, L. M., Breinholt, C. S., …Gloriam, D. E. (2022). Community guidelines for GPCR ligand bias: IUPHAR review 32. British Journal of Pharmacology, 179(14), 3651-3674. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.15811

GPCRs modulate a plethora of physiological processes and mediate the effects of one-third of FDA-approved drugs. Depending on which ligand activates a receptor, it can engage different intracellular transducers. This ‘biased signalling’ paradigm requ...
