There is now compelling evidence that acceleration of lung aging and associated cellular senescence is a key driving mechanism of several chronic lung diseases, particularly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Senescent cells, arising from oxidative stress and unrepaired damage, can accumulate in the lung and develop a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, spreading senescence and resulting in disease progression. In addition, there is a reduction in normally protective antiaging molecules, such as sirtuins, in the lungs. The role of cellular senescence in chronic lung disease has driven interest in senotherapy that targets senescent cells as a novel approach to treating respiratory diseases, and includes repurposing of existing drugs or developing new therapies. Senomorphics, which prevent the development of senescence and inhibit senescence-associated secretory phenotype mediators, include inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3-kinase-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling, novel antioxidants, and sirtuin activators. Senolytics remove senescent cells by inducing apoptosis and include inhibitors of antiapoptotic proteins, such as B-cell lymphoma-extra large, inhibitors of forkhead box O-4-p53 interaction, heat shock protein 90 inhibitors, and cardiac glycosides. Senotherapies have been effective in animal models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and several clinical trials are currently underway.

It conventionally revolves around two arachidonic acid-derived mediators, N-arachidonoyl-ethanolamine (anandamide) and 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol; their main receptors, the cannabinoid receptors of type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2), and the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 channels; and the enzymes responsible for their biosynthesis and degradation. However, drawing on these discoveries, numerous eCB-like signaling lipids beyond the classical eCBs, have been unveiled, together with their receptors and metabolic enzymes, thus forming a more complex signaling network known as the endocannabinoidome (eCBome). This review explores the physiology, pharmacological complexity, and molecular targets of the mammalian eCBome, highlighting its versatility and redundancy in the context of global health. Emerging mediators, metabolic pathways and mechanisms, receptors, and their implications in human physiology and pathology are described, particularly concerning metabolic disorders, pain, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The importance of other \"eCBomes\" in nonmammalian forms of life that constitute the external and internal environments of mammals is also discussed for the first time in this context. The overarching objective of this article is to gain insights into the potential of eCBome-based therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing both human and environmental well-being. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Lipid-based signaling molecules are ubiquitous in nature, yet their study remains challenging due to intricate regulatory mechanisms. Among lipid signaling pathways, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system and its extended version, the endocannabinoidome (eCBome), are particularly remarkable. Comprising hundreds of mediators, and dozens of receptors and metabolic enzymes, the eCBome regulates critical physiological processes not only in mammals but also across diverse organisms, including plants, fungi, and bacteria.

As a metabolite of GABA it is tightly regulated in terms of synthesis and degradation, and is found in micromolar concentrations in the brain. When GHB is taken in high pharmacological doses, it causes euphoria, relaxation, hypothermia, and sedation, and regulates sleep. Through careful pharmacological and genetic studies, this profile has been convincingly matched to the metabotropic GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor where GHB is a weak agonist. These effects explain the illicit substance use of GHB, but also its clinically useful effects as a drug in alcoholism and narcolepsy. Additionally, GHB binds with high affinity to a discrete binding site with high expression in the forebrain, and with very well defined anatomical, biochemical, and pharmacological characteristics. Despite this clear profile, the molecular identity of this binding protein or alleged \"GHB receptor\" has remained uncertain. However, recently, prompted by the development of GHB analogs with low nanomolar affinity and selectivity for the high-affinity site, the target was revealed to be the Ca<sup>2+</sup>/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II alpha subunit-a highly important brain kinase, mediating both physiological processes in synaptic plasticity, and detrimental Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling and cell death in cases of brain ischemia. The discovery of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha subunit as the high-affinity brain target for GHB represents a major leap forward in our understanding of GHB neurobiology, and dictates new times for GHB research, suggesting a potential role for GHB and GHB analogs as integrators of inhibitory and excitatory brain signaling.

Orphan G protein-coupled receptors (oGPCRs) are a group of approximately 100 nonolfactory GPCRs for which endogenous ligands are unknown or not validated. The absence of modulating ligands adds difficulties to understanding the physiologic significance of oGPCRs and in the determination of high-resolution structures of isolated receptors that could facilitate drug discovery. Despite the challenges, cryo-EM structures of oGPCR-G protein complexes are emerging. This is being facilitated by numerous developments to stabilize GPCR-G protein complexes such as the use of dominant-negative G proteins, mini-G proteins, complex-stabilizing nanobodies or antibody fragments, and protein tethering methods. Moreover, many oGPCRs are constitutively active, which can facilitate complex formation in the absence of a known activating ligand. Consequently, in addition to providing templates for drug discovery, active oGPCR structures shed light on constitutive GPCR activation mechanisms. These comprise self-activation, whereby mobile extracellular portions of the receptor act as tethered agonists by occupying a canonical orthosteric-binding site in the transmembrane core, constitutive activity due to alterations to conserved molecular switches that stabilize inactive states of GPCRs, as well as receptors activated by cryptic ligands that are copurified with the receptor. Cryo-EM structures of oGPCRs are now being determined at a rapid pace and are expected to be invaluable tools for oGPCR drug discovery.

A high degree of homeostatic regulation of the brain microenvironment, and its separation from the variable and potentially neurotoxic contents of the blood, is brought about by the central nervous system barriers. Evidence from clinical and preclinical studies implicates brain microcirculation, cerebral hypoperfusion, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, and reduced amyloid clearance in Alzheimer pathophysiology. Studying this dysregulation is key to understanding Alzheimer disease (AD), identifying drug targets, developing treatment strategies, and improving prescribing to this vulnerable population. This review has 2 parts: part 1 describes the cerebral microcirculation, cerebral blood flow, extracellular fluid drainage, and the neurovascular unit components with an emphasis on the blood-brain barrier, and part 2 summarizes how each aspect is altered in AD. Discussing the neurovascular unit structures separately allows us to conclude that aberrant pericytes are an early contributor and central to understanding AD pathophysiology. Pericytes have multiple functions including maintenance of blood-brain barrier integrity and the control of capillary blood flow, capillary stalling, neurovascular coupling, intramural periarterial drainage, glia-lymphatic (glymphatic) drainage, and consequently amyloid and tau clearance. Pericytes are vasoactive, express cholinergic and adrenergic receptors, and exhibit apolipoprotein E isoform-specific transport pathways. Hypoperfusion in AD is linked to a pericyte-mediated response. Deficient endothelial cell-pericyte (PDGBB-PDGFRβ) signaling loops cause pericyte dysfunction, which contributes and even initiates AD degeneration. We conclude that pericytes are central to understanding AD pathophysiology, are an interesting therapeutic target in AD, and have an emerging role in regenerative therapy.

We focused on neuroendocrine changes during pregnancy and their effects on antidepressant pharmacokinetics. Pregnancy-induced alterations in drug disposition and metabolism impacting mothers and their fetuses are discussed. We considered evidence for the risks of antidepressant use during pregnancy. Teratogenicity associated with ongoing treatment, new prescriptions during pregnancy, or pausing medication while pregnant was examined. The Food and Drug Administration advises caution regarding prenatal exposure to most drugs, including antidepressants, largely owing to a dearth of safety studies caused by the common exclusion of pregnant individuals in clinical trials. We contrasted findings on antidepressant use with the lack of treatment where detrimental effects to mothers and children are well researched. Overall, drug classes such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors appear to have limited adverse effects on fetal health and child development. In the face of an increasing prevalence of major mood and anxiety disorders, we assert that individuals should be counseled before and during pregnancy about the risks and benefits of antidepressant treatment given that withholding treatment has possible negative outcomes. Moreover, newer therapeutics, such as ketamine and κ-opioid receptor antagonists, warrant further investigation for use during pregnancy. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The safety of antidepressant use during pregnancy remains controversial owing to an incomplete understanding of how drug exposure affects fetal development, brain maturation, and behavior in offspring. This leaves pregnant people especially vulnerable, as pregnancy can be a highly stressful experience for many individuals, with stress being the biggest known risk factor for developing a mood or anxiety disorder.
