A link among schizophrenia, diabetes, and asthma: Role of Ca2+/cAMP signaling
Asthma has been associated with an increased risk for developing schizophrenia. In addition, schizophrenia has been associated with an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, resulting in an elevated cardiovascular risk and in a limited ...

Peroxynitrite modulates receptor-activated Ca2+ signaling in vascular endothelial cells
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is formed from superoxide (O2-) and .NO. We have previously reported that O2- does not alter endothelial cell Ca2+ signaling. To test whether .NO alters Ca2+ signaling, cells were incubated with the .NO donor, spermine NONOate ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

CPK12 and Ca2+-mediated hypoxia signaling
Hypoxia triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced elevation in cytoplasmic calcium (Ca2+) in the plant cells. Calcium-dependent protein kinase 12 (CPK12) acts as a sensor to recognize the Ca2+ signature and is activated by autophosphorylation. Then,

The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

TGF‐β1 stimulation downregulates lysosomal channel TRPML1 in pulmonary fibroblasts. The TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 suppressed fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast activation and collagen production. Mechanistically, ML‐SA5 inhibited mTOR phosphorylation, restored autophagic flux, and its effects were enhanced by rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) and reversed by MHY1485 ...

INTRACELLULAR Ca2+ HOMEOSTASIS
Ca2+ signaling functions to regulate many cellular processes. Dynamics of Ca2+ signaling or homeostasis is regulated by the interaction between ON and OFF reactions that control Ca2+ flux in both the plasma membrane and internal organelles such as the ...

During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.

Dendritic spines as chemical and electrical compartments : a two-photon imaging study in the hippocampus of the rat [PDF]
Most excitatory synapses are located on small dendritic protrusions called spines. So far, the function of dendritic spines is not fully understood. Imaging experiments have shown that spines can compartmentalize second messengers such as Ca2+.
