The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Immunohistochemistry, electrophysiology and pharmacology are useful tools for understanding protein and channel expression and physiological reactions of calcium‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs). Conventional transmission electron microscopy has provided useful 2‐D information on organelle arrangement, localization and ...

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Inhibition of ANO1/TMEM16A Chloride Channel by Idebenone and Its Cytotoxicity to Cancer Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The expression levels of anoctamin 1 (ANO1, TMEM16A), a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), are significantly increased in several tumors, and inhibition of ANO1 is known to reduce cell proliferation and migration.

Molecular Mechanisms of Electric Signals Generated at Corneal Wounds
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 16, 31 August 2026.Corneal injury triggers cell signaling (including calcium waves) leading to ion channel up‐regulation, increased ion pumping, and enhanced wound electric signals which stimulate wound healing. ABSTRACT Over 150 years ago, it was demonstrated that wounds produce electric fields and currents.

Cell-specific mechanisms of TMEM16A Ca2+-activated chloride channel in cancer
Molecular Cancer, 2017 TMEM16A (known as anoctamin 1) Ca2+-activated chloride channel is overexpressed in many tumors. TMEM16A overexpression can be caused by gene amplification in many tumors harboring 11q13 amplification.

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 6, July 2026.ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Salivary Extracellular Vesicles: Paradigm Shift in Liquid Biopsy Diagnostics
Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, serve as essential messengers for intercellular communication. Due to their involvement in several pathophysiological processes, EVs have recently gained considerable attention as potentially diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various illnesses ...
