TRPV4-A Missing Link Between Mechanosensation and Immunity [PDF]
, 2020 Transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 4 (TRPV4) cation channel is widely expressed in all tissues as well as in immune cells and its function as mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel seems to be conserved throughout all mammalian species. Of late, emerging

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...
