BMEMat, EarlyView.HAp@MXene nanocomposites could achieve the programmed regulation of macrophage polarization. They first induce M1 polarization through magnetoelectric induction to combat infection. Subsequently, controlled Ca2+ release drives M2 polarization to promote tissue regeneration. This dual mechanism accelerates bone defect repair and highlights the potential

Connexin domains relevant to the chemical gating of gap junction channels
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 Most cells exchange ions and small metabolites via gap junction channels. These channels are made of two hemichannels (connexons), each formed by the radial arrangement of six connexin (Cx) proteins. Connexins span the bilayer four times (M1-M4) and have

Voclosporin‐induced gingival enlargement: A case report
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Drug‐influenced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a recognized adverse effect of certain medications, particularly immunosuppressants like cyclosporin and tacrolimus. However, there have been no documented cases of DIGE associated with voclosporin, a newer calcineurin inhibitor used primarily to treat lupus nephritis.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Can calmodulin bind to lipids of the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes?
Open BiologyCalmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous calcium-sensitive messenger in eukaryotic cells. It was previously shown that CaM possesses an affinity for diverse lipid moieties, including those found on CaM-binding proteins. These facts, together with our observation

Flagellar Radial Spoke Protein 2 Is a Calmodulin Binding Protein Required for Motility in \u3cem\u3eChlamydomonas reinhardtii\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2004 Genetic and morphological studies have revealed that the radial spokes regulate ciliary and flagellar bending. Functional and biochemical analysis and the discovery of calmodulin in the radial spokes suggest that the regulatory mechanism involves control

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...
