Karolinska Institutet is a medical university encompassing 21 departments distributed across three departmental or campus groups. Pharmacological research has a long and successful tradition at the institute with a multitude of seminal findings in the areas of neuronal control of vasodilatation, cardiovascular pharmacology, neuropsychopharmacology, receptor pharmacology, and pharmacogenomics that resulted in, among many other recognitions, two Nobel prizes in Physiology and Medicine, one in 1970 to Ulf von Euler for his discovery of the processes involved in storage, release, and inactivation of neurotransmitters and the other in 1982 to Sune Bergström and Bengt Samuelsson for their work on prostaglandins and the discovery of leukotrienes. Pharmacology at Karolinska Institutet has over the last decade been ranked globally among the top 10 according to the QS World University Ranking. With the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology now celebrating its 75-year anniversary, we wanted to take this as an opportunity to showcase recent research achievements and how they paved the way for current activities at the department. We emphasize examples from preclinical and clinical research where the dpartment's integrative environment and robust infrastructure have successfully facilitated the translation of findings into clinical applications and patient benefits. The close collaboration between preclinical scientists and clinical researchers across various disciplines, along with a strong network of partnerships within the department and beyond, positions us to continue leading world-class pharmacological research at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology for decades to come.

Hearing disorders pose significant challenges to individuals experiencing them and their overall quality of life, emphasizing the critical need for advanced pharmacological approaches to address these conditions. Current treatment options often focus on amplification devices, cochlear implants, or other rehabilitative therapies, leaving a substantial gap regarding effective pharmacological interventions. Advancements in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in hearing disorders induced by noise, aging, and ototoxicity have opened new avenues for drug development, some of which have led to numerous clinical trials, with promising results. The development of optimal drug delivery solutions in animals and humans can also enhance the targeted delivery of medications to the ear. Moreover, large genome studies contributing to a genetic understanding of hearing loss in humans combined with advanced molecular technologies in animal studies have shown a great potential to increase our understanding of the etiologies of hearing loss. The auditory system exhibits circadian rhythms and temporal variations in its physiology, its vulnerability to auditory insults, and its responsiveness to drug treatments. The cochlear clock rhythms are under the control of the glucocorticoid system, and preclinical evidence suggests that the risk/benefit profile of hearing disorder treatments using chronopharmacological approaches would be beneficial. If translatable to the bedside, such approaches may improve the outcome of clinical trials. Ongoing research into the molecular and genetic basis of auditory disorders, coupled with advancements in drug formulation and delivery as well as optimized timing of drug administration, holds great promise of more effective treatments.

Nitric oxide (NO) from endothelial NO synthase importantly contributes to vascular homeostasis. Reduced NO production or increased scavenging during disease conditions with oxidative stress contribute to endothelial dysfunction and NO deficiency. In addition to the classical enzymatic NO synthases (NOS) system, NO can also be generated via the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. Dietary and pharmacological approaches aimed at increasing NO bioactivity, especially in the cardiovascular system, have been the focus of much research since the discovery of this small gaseous signaling molecule. Despite wide appreciation of the biological role of NOS/NO signaling, questions still remain about the chemical nature of NOS-derived bioactivity. Recent studies show that NO-like bioactivity can be efficiently transduced by mobile NO-ferroheme species, which can transfer between proteins, partition into a hydrophobic phase, and directly activate the soluble guanylyl cyclase-cGMP-protein kinase G pathway without intermediacy of free NO. Moreover, interaction between red blood cells and the endothelium in the regulation of vascular NO homeostasis have gained much attention, especially in conditions with cardiometabolic disease. In this review we discuss both classical and nonclassical pathways for NO generation in the cardiovascular system and how these can be modulated for therapeutic purposes.
