    8 CONNEC TCFS We have been honored to share the stories of 25 Catalysts Honoring Catalysts in Action over the winter and spring through our website, Facebook and Twitter. We hope you’ll take time to read about their remarkable lives and the courage and persistence they Throughout this issue of SolveCFS we pay tribute to the collective action demonstrate every day. As unique as each one is, they are united in their hope that research led by the CFIDS that has led up to the launch of the Association’s latest research initiative: Association of America will lead to better treatment and the research institute without walls (RIWW). Two individuals warrant spe - healthier futures. cial attention for their immensely important contributions. First, James York , the first person consented and enrolled to participate in the SolveCFS BioBank. James was working as an underwater camera man and marine coordinator in the film industry when pneumonia turned into CFS in 2004. He has turned to writing when cognitive impairment can be kept at bay, as a form of expression and, occasionally, compensation. James enrolled in the BioBank as soon as it was announced. He returned his signed consent James York, adrift and at work on the form promptly; completed the extensive medical award-winning film “Ocean Men: Extreme history questionnaire thoroughly and expeditiously Dive” with an IMAX Mark II camera and even recruited his own matched control to partici - housing in Stargate Cave on Andros Island pate.

    Pharmacological agents currently in clinical trials for disorders in neurogastroenterology Michael Camilleri J Clin Invest. 2013;123(10):4111-4120. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI70837. Clinical Review Esophageal, gastrointestinal, and colonic diseases resulting from disorders of the motor and sensory functions represent almost half the patients presenting to gastroenterologists. There have been significant advances in understanding the mechanisms of these disorders, through basic and translational research, and in targeting the receptors or mediators involved, through clinical trials involving biomarkers and patient responses. These advances have led to relief of patients’ symptoms and improved quality of life, although there are still significant unmet needs. This article reviews the pipeline of medications in development for esophageal sensorimotor disorders, gastroparesis, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation (including opioid-induced constipation), and visceral pain.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

The full contents can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ 10.1111/bph.13348/full. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the eight major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ligand-gated ion channels, voltage-gated ion channels, other ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading.
