Store-operated calcium channels in skin
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The skin is a complex organ that acts as a protective layer against the external environment. It protects the internal tissues from harmful agents, dehydration, ultraviolet radiation and physical injury as well as conferring thermoregulatory control ...

Energetics of discrete selectivity bands and mutation-induced transitions in the calcium-sodium ion channels family [PDF]
, 2013 We use Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations to study the ionic conduction and valence selectivity of a generic electrostatic model of a biological ion channel as functions of the fixed charge Qf at its selectivity filter.

Cavβ surface charged residues contribute to the regulation of neuronal calcium channels
Molecular Brain, 2022 Voltage-gated calcium channels are essential regulators of brain function where they support depolarization-induced calcium entry into neurons. They consist of a pore-forming subunit (Cavα1) that requires co-assembly with ancillary subunits to ensure ...

A functional role for small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in sensory pathways including nociceptive processes [PDF]
, 2005 We investigated the role of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in modulating sensory transmission from peripheral afferents into the rat spinal cord.

Suramin-Induced Neurotoxicity: Preclinical Models and Neuroprotective Strategies
Molecules, 2018 Suramin is a trypan blue analogon originally developed to treat protozoan infections, which was found to have diverse antitumor effects. One of the most severe side effects in clinical trials was the development of a peripheral sensory-motor ...

TRP channels in microglia: role in physiology and disease
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Microglia are responsible for modulating the cellular environment in the nervous system, where they have neuroprotective effects. In these cells has been reported the expression of different ion channels, including those belonging to the transient ...

The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]
, 2012 Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...
