Platelets are regulated by extracellular cues that impact on intracellular signaling. The endothelium releases prostacyclin and nitric oxide which stimulate the synthesis of cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP leading to platelet inhibition.

Cyclic nucleotide permeability through unopposed connexin hemichannels
Cyclic AMP is a well-known intracellular and intercellular second messenger. The membrane permeability of such molecules has potential importance for autocrine like or paracrine-like delivery.

Cyclic nucleotide in oocyte In vitro maturation in Assisted Reproductive Technology
In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising assisted reproductive technology (ART) for human infertility treatment. However, when cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) are removed from their follicular environment when manipulated in vitro, it can lead to a ...

Cyclic nucleotide specific phosphodiesterases of
Background Leishmania represent a complex of important human pathogens that belong to the systematic order of the kinetoplastida. They are transmitted between their human and mammalian hosts by different bloodsucking sandfly vectors.

Nucleotides as Bacterial Second Messengers
In addition to comprising monomers of nucleic acids, nucleotides have signaling functions and act as second messengers in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The most common example is cyclic AMP (cAMP).

Biguanides such as metformin have previously been shown to antagonize hepatic glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling independently of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) via direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase by AMP.

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

BOOL-AN: A method for comparative sequence analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction [PDF]
A novel discrete mathematical approach is proposed as an additional tool for molecular systematics which does not require prior statistical assumptions concerning the evolutionary process.
