A computational investigation of cardiac caveolae as a source of persistent sodium current
Frontiers in Physiology, 2011 Recent studies of cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains, called caveolae, reveal that caveolae are reservoirs of recruitable sodium ion channels. Caveolar channels constitute a substantial and previously unrecognized source of sodium current in cardiac ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Mucin Glycoprotein Nanoparticles Enable a Selective Antisense Therapy for Oncogenic MicroRNAs
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Mucin glycoproteins are turned into nanoparticles by employing synthetic DNA strands, which have a dual function: they stabilize the nanoparticles and act as binding sites for intracellular miRNA‐21. Thus, upon internalization into tumor cells, these mucin nanoparticles can deplete miRNA‐21 from the cytosol, which induces apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Potential of caveolae in the therapy of cardiovascular and neurological diseases
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Caveolae are membrane micro-domains enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids and caveolins, which are transmembrane proteins with hairpin-like structure. Caveolae participate in receptor-mediated trafficking of cell surface receptors and receptor-mediated ...

Cell Toxicity and Autophagy in A549 Cells Treated With Surface‐Functionalized Graphene Derivatives
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Graphene oxide and its derivatives have unique physical and chemical properties with applications in many different fields. However, their biological effects and mechanisms of intracellular toxicity have not been completely clarified. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic and autophagic activities of graphene oxide and its derivatives ...
