Reducing Extracellular Ca2+ Induces Adenosine Release via Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporters to Provide Negative Feedback Control of Activity in the Hippocampus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
Neural circuit activity increases the release of the purine neuromodulator adenosine into the extracellular space leading to A1 receptor activation and negative feedback via membrane hyperpolarization and inhibition of transmitter release.

Purinergic signaling in cochlear supporting cells reduces hair cell excitability by increasing the extracellular space

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Neurons in developing sensory pathways exhibit spontaneous bursts of electrical activity that are critical for survival, maturation and circuit refinement.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the lung reveals important pathobiology in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2021
Introduction Evidence suggests that abnormalities occur in the lung microvasculature in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We hypothesised that dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could detect alterations in permeability ...

Emergent Properties of Tumor Microenvironment in a Real-life Model of Multicell Tumor Spheroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Multicellular tumor spheroids are an important {\it in vitro} model of the pre-vascular phase of solid tumors, for sizes well below the diagnostic limit: therefore a biophysical model of spheroids has the ability to shed light on the internal workings ...

In vivo hydrogen peroxide diffusivity in brain tissue supports volume signaling activity

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2022
Hydrogen peroxide is a major redox signaling molecule underlying a novel paradigm of cell function and communication. A role for H2O2 as an intercellular signaling molecule and neuromodulator in the brain has become increasingly apparent, with evidence ...

The Dimensions of the Extracellular Space in Sartorius Muscle [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1959
A survey has been made of the amount of muscle water available to inulin, sucrose, and radioiodinated human serum albumin (RISA). The percentage spaces available to the three molecules are of the same order of magnitude, but the sucrose space > inulin space > albumin space.

A biophysical observation model for field potentials of networks of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons

open access: yes, 2012
We present a biophysical approach for the coupling of neural network activity as resulting from proper dipole currents of cortical pyramidal neurons to the electric field in extracellular fluid.

MetaboTools: A comprehensive toolbox for analysis of genome-scale metabolic models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Metabolomic data sets provide a direct read-out of cellular phenotypes and are increasingly generated to study biological questions. Our previous work revealed the potential of analyzing extracellular metabolomic data in the context of the metabolic ...

A Space‐Time Conversion Vehicle for Programmed Multi‐Drugs Delivery into Pancreatic Tumor to Overcome Matrix and Reflux Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2022
The numerous biological barriers, which limit pharmacotherapy of pancreatic carcinoma, including inadequate drug accumulation in the tumor environment, a dense extracellular matrix (ECM) and efficient drug‐efflux mechanisms, illustrate the requirement of

Multiphase modelling of tumour growth and extracellular matrix interaction: mathematical tools and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid.
