A novel transgenic reporter of extracellular acidification in zebrafish elucidates skeletal muscle T‐tubule pH regulation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Disruption of extracellular pH and proton‐sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH‐sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to

Role for inflammatory markers in predicting right ventricular failure in mechanical assist device recipients

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a common complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Due to the complex and limited understanding of RVF pathophysiology, efforts to prognosticate RVF after LVAD have been challenging.

The Role of Gut Microbial Metabolites in Polyphenol‐Mediated Cardiovascular Protection

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Polyphenols, bioactive compounds found in plant‐based foods, exert cardioprotective effects, partly mediated by their interactions with the gut microbiome. This editorial explores how microbial metabolites of polyphenols enhance bioavailability and exert

Threonine 180 Is Required for G-protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 3- and β-Arrestin 2-mediated Desensitization of the µ-Opioid Receptor in Xenopus Oocytes [PDF]

, 2001
To determine the sites in the µ-opioid receptor (MOR) critical for agonist-dependent desensitization, we constructed and coexpressed MORs lacking potential phosphorylation sites along with G-protein activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Bitter Taste Receptor Agonists Induce Apoptosis in Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy, with a 20% recurrence rate. Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) and their genes (TAS2Rs) may regulate survival in solid tumors. This study examined T2R expression and function in PTC cells.

Communication over the network of binary switches regulates the activation of A$_{2A}$ adenosine receptor

, 2014
Dynamics and functions of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are accurately regulated by the type of ligands that bind to the orthosteric or allosteric binding sites.
