Loss of Acetylcholine Signaling Reduces Cell Clearance Deficiencies in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The ability to eliminate undesired cells by apoptosis is a key mechanism to maintain organismal health and homeostasis. Failure to clear apoptotic cells efficiently can cause autoimmune diseases in mammals.

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]
, 2014 Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...
