In the new study, OHSU researchers identified specific sites on a subunit of the #NMDA receptor that—if they could be blocked—could potentially reverse the progression of the disease. medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01-atomic-imag...

These connections are enriched with the #NMDA receptor subunit #GRIN2D, making cancer cells more responsive to neuron-derived glutamate. Glutamate-mediated calcium influx into #CancerCells was found to trigger a signalling cascade that drives tumour growth and metastasis.

This image explains the mechanism of action (MOA) of memantine in Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on the signal-to-noise hypothesis. Key Points from the Image and Caption: NMDA Receptor Dysfunction in AD: Alzheimer's pathology (e.g., Aβ, Tau, energy deficits) causes dysregulated NMDA receptor activity, leading to excessive "synaptic noise." Memantine's Role: Memantine acts as a filter blocking 'synaptic noise' by selectively blocking NMDA receptors. It helps differentiate between pathological noise and relevant synaptic signals. Restoration of Synaptic Plasticity: By filtering excessive noise, memantine allows synaptic plasticity to be restored and improves neuronal communication. Voltage-Dependent Action: Memantine preferentially blocks NMDA receptors under pathological conditions (e.g., excessive glutamate) without disrupting normal synaptic activity.
interesting drug memantine " #NMDA receptor antagonist that improves memory by restoration of homeostasis in the glutamatergic system - too little activation is bad, too much is even worse" - i.e. allows right amount of glutamatergic signal to go through www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
