An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are

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

The 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.

Longer action potential duration in the Purkinje network than in the ventricular myocardium delays retrograde activation of the human His‐Purkinje system

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation time (AT) maps from right ventricular apical pacing in a human ventricles model with longer action potential duration in the His‐Purkinje system (HPS) than in the myocardium (MYO). For pacing with a long S1S2 coupling interval (CI), the AT from the myocardial pacing site to the first AT of the HPS (ATMYO) is longer ...

Connexins, renin cell displacement and hypertension

, 2015
Vascular gap junctions formed by specific connexins proteins Cx37, 40, 43 and 45 are important for proper vascular function. This review outlines that defects of the connexin 40 protein leads to hypertension because of dysfunction of renin secreting ...

Age‐ and sex‐specific modulation of human cardiac electrophysiology by doxorubicin

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend DOX differentially impacts cardiac electrophysiology based on sex and age. Sex differences were primarily observed among younger hearts, where action potential duration (APD) prolongation was observed in females, but not in males. Created using BioRender. George, S. (2026) https://BioRender.com/wresf1k Abstract Acute doxorubicin (

Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acidosis depolarises parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and increases their firing frequency by reducing TWIK‐2 channel conductance. Acidosis also activates astrocytes, which further enhance neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor‐dependent glutamatergic signalling.

Chronic hypertension alters the expression of Cx43 in cardiovascular muscle cells

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
Connexin43 (Cx43), the predominant gap junction protein of muscle cells in vessels and heart, is involved in the control of cell-to-cell communication and is thought to modulate the contractility of the vascular wall and the electrical coupling of ...

Pathogenic Variants in HEPACAM Alter Protein Localization and Interactome in Astrocytes of the Developing Mouse Cortex

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 11, November 2026.
Pathogenic variants alter hepaCAM protein distribution. Astrocyte‐specific hepaCAM TurboID reveals KCNQ2 as a new interaction partner. Pathogenic variants alter hepaCAM association with key transmembrane proteins. ABSTRACT Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare leukodystrophy characterized by early‐onset macrocephaly,

Müller Glia Subtypes Define Neuro‐Glial Associations and Spatial Morphogen Axes in the Zebrafish Retina

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 11, November 2026.
Zebrafish Müller glia are heterogeneous in the early larval retina. Zebrafish Müller glia subtypes define a spatial axis of retinoic acid metabolism. Neuron‐associated glial programs identified in Zebrafish Müller glia are evolutionarily conserved in mammals. ABSTRACT Müller glia are instrumental macroglia of the vertebrate retina, once thought to be a

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2265-2278, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.
