A cyclic effect of cAMP and calcium signaling contributes to jujube growth and development
3′,5′-Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important metabolite that is specifically enriched in jujube. However, the effect of cAMP on jujube cellular responses has not been comprehensively studied.

CaMKIIalpha interacts with multi-PDZ domain protein MUPP1 in spermatozoa and prevents spontaneous acrosomal exocytosis [PDF]
The success of acrosomal exocytosis, a complex process with a variety of inter-related steps, relies on the coordinated interaction of participating signaling molecules.

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Usnic acid as calcium ionophore and mast cells stimulator
Usnic acid (UA), a secondary lichen metabolite, has long been popular as one of natural fat-burning dietary supplements. Similar to 2,4-dinitrophenol, the weight-loss effect of UA is assumed to be associated with its protonophoric uncoupling activity.

A quad‐cistronic fluorescent biosensor system for real‐time detection of subcellular Ca2+ signals
Background and Purpose The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a versatile cellular messenger regulating a variety of biological processes. Compounds modulating subcellular Ca2+ signals hold substantial pharmacological potential. Advances in fluorescent biosensors have revolutionised Ca2+ imaging.

The Effect of Calcium Ionophores on Fragmented Sarcoplasmic Reticulum [PDF]
X-537 A and A 23187, two antibiotics which form liphophilic complexes with divalent cations, function as ionophores in vesicular fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Addition of either ionophore to SR preloaded with calcium in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), causes rapid release of calcium. Furthermore, net calcium accumulation by SR
