Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the early defense against tumors and virally infected cells. Their function is thought to be controlled by the balance between activating and inhibitory receptors, which often compete for the same ...

Mast cell inhibitory receptors
Mast cells play an important role in diverse physiological mechanisms as well as taking part in antimicrobial defense. What is more, these cells are important regulators of a number of pathophysiological processes, involving allergic reactions. Therefore, it seems to be very important to know and understand the factors and receptors influencing mast ...

THE INHIBITORY EFFECT OF GALLAMINE ON MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS [PDF]
The inhibitory effect of gallamine (1.1 μM‐1.1 mM) on negative inotropic responses to acetylcholine (ACh) or carbachol (CCh) was investigated in isolated electrically stimulated atria of the guinea‐pig. Gallamine caused parallel rightward shifts of the dose‐response curves to the agonists, with no depression of the maximal response.Gallamine (0.11‐1.1 ...

Opioid mediated activity and expression of mu and delta opioid receptors in isolated human term non-laboring myometrium [PDF]
The existence of opioid receptors in mammalian myometrial tissue is now widely accepted. Previously enkephalin degrading enzymes have been shown to be elevated in pregnant rat uterus and a met-enkephalin analogue has been shown to alter spontaneous ...

Regulatory Mechanisms and Reversal of CD8+T Cell Exhaustion: A Literature Review
CD8+T cell exhaustion is a state of T cell dysfunction during chronic infection and tumor progression. Exhausted CD8+T cells are characterized by low effector function, high expression of inhibitory receptors, unique metabolic patterns, and altered ...

In the adult brain GABAA receptors (GABAARs) mediate the majority of synaptic inhibition that provides inhibitory balance to excitatory drive and controls neuronal output.

Probing GABAA receptors with inhibitory neurosteroids
γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are important components of the central nervous system and they are functionally tasked with controlling neuronal excitability. These receptors are subject to post-translational modification and also to modulation by endogenous regulators, such as the neurosteroids.

GABA signaling in the thalamus [PDF]
Inhibition of neuronal activity in networks of the mammalian central nervous system is essential for all fundamental brain functions, ranging from perception, to consciousness, to action.
