Abstract
Cellular signaling involves a large repertoire of membrane receptors operating in overlapping spatiotemporal regimes and targeting many common intracellular effectors. However, both the molecular mechanisms and the physiological roles of crosstalk between receptors, especially those from different superfamilies, are poorly understood. We find that the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) TrkB and the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) together mediate hippocampal synaptic plasticity in response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Activated TrkB enhances constitutive mGluR5 activity to initiate a mode switch that drives BDNF-dependent sustained, oscillatory Ca2+ signaling and enhanced MAP kinase activation. This crosstalk is mediated, in part, by synergy between Gβγ, released by TrkB, and Gαq-GTP, released by mGluR5, to enable physiologically relevant RTK/GPCR crosstalk.

We find that the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), TrkB, and the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), together mediate a novel form of hippocampal synaptic plasticity in response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Activated TrkB enhances constitutive mGluR5 activity to initiate a mode-switch that drives BDNF-dependent sustained, oscillatory Ca 2+ signaling and enhanced MAP kinase activation. This crosstalk is mediated, in part, by synergy between Gβγ, released by TrkB, and Gα q -GTP, released by mGluR5, to enable a previously unidentified form of physiologically relevant RTK/GPCR crosstalk.

Abstract
Two groups of patients with sickle-cell disease were given a single dose of sodium cromoglicate by inhalation or nasal route. The striking decrease in sickle cells after treatment by both routes lends support to the role of sodium cromoglicate in sickle-cell disease treatment.

Abstract
We previously observed that aqueous extracts of the stem bark and leaves of Khaya senegalensis exhibited a strong antisickling activity. These results prompted us to find out the constituent(s) responsible for these properties using an in vitro bio-guided fractionation. The bioassay was based on sickle cells countings, before and after deoxygenation, in blood samples taken from patients with severe sickle cell anemia and pre-incubated with the drugs to be tested. The main active constituent was identified as a rearranged limonoid whose structure was recently elucidated. In comparison with pentoxifylline used as standard, the in vitro antisickling activity of this limonoid was much higher at any concentrations and incubation conditions. In addition, it did not alter significantly the corpuscular indices.

Abstract
The improvement in sickle cell disease (SCD) children receiving cromolyn sodium therapy prompted us to investigate its antisickling activity in vitro. The number of sickle cells was determined in deoxygenated blood samples from 15 children with severe SCD. At the eight concentrations tested, cromolyn sodium exhibited a significantly higher activity than pentoxifylline, the standard compound. Therefore cromolyn sodium would appear to be an interesting candidate for SCD therapy and deserves further in vivo investigations.
