ABSTRACT Aim Controversy exists on which metabolites determine the exaggerated exercise pressor reflex (EPR) in peripheral artery disease (PAD). In decerebrated rats, we investigated the role played by lactate and hydrogen ions in a model of PAD, which was simulated by ligating the femoral artery for 72 h before the start of the experiment.

Independent Contribution of Extracellular Proton Binding Sites to ASIC1a Activation [PDF]
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are a group of trimeric cation permeable channels gated by extracellular protons that are mainly expressed in the nervous system. Despite the structural information available for ASIC1, there is limited understanding of the molecular mechanism that allows these channels to sense and respond to drops in extracellular pH.

Abstract Cardiac afferent neurons have been shown to trigger overactivation of neurohormonal systems known to drive adverse cardiac remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI). Acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs) that are highly expressed in cardiac sympathetic afferents sense ischemia‐induced myocardial acidosis.

Background Melanoma is an aggressive and highly lethal form of skin cancer, with pronounced cellular heterogeneity contributing to drug resistance and clinical challenges. Therefore, identifying reliable biomarkers and developing robust prognostic models are critical for improving clinical management and enabling personalized treatment.

NMDAR-Mediated Hippocampal Neuronal Death is Exacerbated by Activities of ASIC1a [PDF]
NMDARs and ASIC1a both exist in central synapses and mediate important physiological and pathological conditions, but the functional relationship between them is unclear. Here we report several novel findings that may shed light on the functional relationship between these two ion channels in the excitatory postsynaptic membrane of mouse hippocampus ...

The Role of Neuro‐Immune Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells induced by an overactive immune system. In addition to the interaction between immune cells and keratinocytes, emerging research highlights the indispensable role of peripheral sensory neurons in the initiation and progression of psoriatic ...

Gating‐associated conformational changes in the pore of ASIC1a
Acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs) are trimeric cation channels that undergo concerted activation and desensitization in response to extracellular acidification. Each subunit has two transmembrane domains (TMs) connected by a large extracellular region with intracellular N‐ and C‐ terminus.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.
