Essential role of CFTR in PKA-dependent phosphorylation, alkalinization, and hyperpolarization during human dperm capacitation [PDF]
Mammalian sperm require to spend a limited period of time in the female reproductive tract to become competent to fertilize in a process called capacitation.

14‐3‐3 proteins: Regulators of cardiac excitation–contraction coupling and stress responses
Abstract figure legend 14‐3‐3 protein interactions in cardiac regulation. Schematic representation of 14‐3‐3 binding partners in excitation–contraction coupling, transcriptional regulation/development and stress response pathways. Asterisks indicate targets where the exact 14‐3‐3 binding site is unknown.

ENaCs and ASICs as therapeutic targets
The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and acid-sensitive ion channel (ASIC) branches of the ENaC/degenerin superfamily of cation channels have drawn increasing attention as potential therapeutic targets in a variety of diseases and conditions. Originally thought to be solely expressed in fluid absorptive epithelia and in neurons, it has become apparent ...

Inhibition of ENaC by Endothelin-1 [PDF]
The amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is a key player in the regulation of Na(+) homeostasis. Its functional activity is under continuous control by a variety of signaling molecules, including bioactive peptides of endothelin family.

Claudins in the Renal Collecting Duct [PDF]
The renal collecting duct fine-tunes urinary composition, and thereby, coordinates key physiological processes, such as volume/blood pressure regulation, electrolyte-free water reabsorption, and acid-base homeostasis.

Non‐Invasive, High‐Resolution (1H2O) Metabolic Activity Diffusion Imaging [MADI] of Rat Glioma
We employed Metabolic Activity Diffusion Imaging [MADI] and 18FDG‐PET in rats with syngeneic RG2 glioblastoma brain tumors. MADI quantifies kio (the cellular H2O efflux rate constant), cell volume (V), and cell density (ρ), without the use of contrast agents. The kioV product quantifies the rate of water efflux per cell.

CFTR stabilizes ENaC at the plasma membrane [PDF]
CFTR was reported to regulate ENaC channel opening, decreasing ENaC activity in airways and increasing it in sweat ducts. We generated MDCK-I cell lines stably expressing tagged alphabetagammaENaC+CFTR or ENaC alone, and developed an assay to quantify cell-surface half-life of ENaC.

BackgroundStreptococcus pneumoniae is a major etiologic agent of bacterial pneumonia. Autolysis and antibiotic-mediated lysis of pneumococci induce release of the pore-forming toxin, pneumolysin (PLY), their major virulence factor, which is a prominent ...

The public safety zones around small and medium airports [PDF]
Proper planning around airports safeguards the surrounding territory from risks of air accidents. Many countries have defined Public Safety Zones (PSZs) beyond the runway thresholds as a result of targeted risk assessment methods.
