The interplay between dynamic regulation of ion‐channel gating and trafficking in cardiac arrhythmogenesis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.

Statin drugs and lipid modulation: Mechanistic basis considering lipid rafts, kinase signaling, myopathy, and cancer

open access: yesPharmacological Research
Statins are drugs that have been widely used to decrease the levels of cholesterol and are usually well tolerated. Increasing evidence suggests that these lipid-lowering drugs can impact the structural and functional integrity of lipid rafts, which are ...

Differential expression of caveolins and myosin heavy chains in response to forced exercise in rats

open access: yes, 2012
Exercise training can improve strength and lead to adaptations in the skeletal muscle and nervous systems. Skeletal muscles can develop into two types: fast and slow, depending on the expression pattern of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms.

hERG1 channels and potential therapeutics for long QT syndrome

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prolonged QT results from hERG1 channel dysfunction. (A) Physiological anterograde trafficking of hERG1 channels to the plasma membrane, leading to a normal electrocardiogram. (B) Prolonged QT results from the presence of fewer hERG1 channels on the plasma membrane due to decreased anterograde trafficking or reduced function due ...

Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2103-2118, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

Extracellular Vesicles: Classification, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
• EV content maintains cellular homeostasis and is involved in several disease onset and progression. • miRNA export in EVs depends on: RNA‐binding proteins recognizing motif sequences and on epitranscriptomic modifications. • The disclosure of delivery mechanisms is crucial for developing personalized EV‐based therapeutic tools. ABSTRACT Extracellular

Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Ameliorate NaIO3‐Induced Dry AMD by Delivering miR‐486‐3p to Inhibit Lipocalin‐2‐Mediated Ferroptosis

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our study reveals a novel mechanism by which MSC‐derived EVs alleviate NaIO3‐induced dry AMD‐like pathology. MSC‐EVs deliver miR‐486‐3p into retinal cells to directly inhibit the ferroptosis‐promoting target gene Lcn2. Concurrently, downregulated Lcn2 restores intracellular Gpx4 expression, thereby suppressing ferroptosis and rescuing retinal ...

Dapagliflozin Attenuates NKCC2 Protein Expression and Alleviates Diabetic Kidney Disease in Salt Loaded‐Hypertensive Diabetic Db/Db Mice

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
In salt‐loaded, hypertensive diabetic db/db mice with diabetic kidney disease, dapagliflozin lowered blood pressure and reduced tubular and glomerular injury. Mechanistically, dapagliflozin increased cullin E3 ligase abundance, promoting degradation of NKCC2.

Exendin-4 ameliorates cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury via caveolae and caveolins-3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Exendin-4, an exogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the mechanisms for this protection are poorly understood.
