Expression, distribution and function of kinin B1 receptor in the rat diabetic retina
Conclusion and ImplicationsThis study supports a detrimental role for kinin B1R on endothelial and glial cells in acute and advanced phases of DR. Topical application of the peptide kinin B1R antagonist R‐954 appears a feasible therapeutic approach in the treatment of DR.

Recent Advances in the Development of T ‐type Calcium Channel Blockers for Pain Intervention
Abstract Cav3.2 T‐type calcium channels are important regulators of pain signals in afferent pain pathway, and their activities are dysregulated during various chronic pain states. Therefore it stands to reason that inhibiting T‐type calcium channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons and in the spinal dorsal horn can be targeted for pain relief. This is supported by early pharmacological studies with T‐type channel blockers such as ethosuximide, and by analgesic effects of siRNA depletion of Cav3.2 channels. In the past five years, considerable effort has been applied towards identifying novel classes of T‐type calci...
