Endothelial TRPV4–Cx43 signalling complex regulates vasomotor tone in resistance arteries
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In this study, we investigate, for the first time, the role of endothelial Cx43 hemichannels (hCx43) in the regulation of vasomotor tone. We discovered that TRPV4 channels and Cx43 are in proximity within the endothelium of mouse arterioles.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The volume‐regulated anion channel (VRAC), composed of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins, serves both canonical and non‐canonical functions in vertebrate cells. The canonical function of this channel relates to its original description, which is homeostatic regulation of cell volume in response to hypotonic ...

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...

Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate activates LRRC8 volume‐regulated anion channels through Gβγ signalling
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) binds to Gi protein‐coupled receptor S1PR1. Upon S1PR1 activation, Gβγ is released from the Gαi‐Gβγ heterotrimer, allowing it to recruit phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ) to the plasma membrane. PLCβ cleaves phosphatidylinositol‐4,5‐bisphosphate (PIP2) into inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG).
