The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Although purinergic P2Y2 receptor can regulate neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neurogenesis in mammals, it is downregulated following spinal cord injury (SCI). It was previously unknown whether this receptor regulates these processes in the more‐regenerative zebrafish model, where the contribution of these responses allows near‐complete ...

IP3 Measurements of Liquid Crystals at Microwave Frequencies
The nonlinear behaviour of a phase shifter employing two different nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) as a tunable dielectric is investigated in this work. The NLCs used are the quasi-standard NLC 5CB and a highly anisotropic mixture MDA-03-2844.

A novel series of candidate AT1 receptor antagonists based on oxadiazolone‐triazole scaffolds was designed and synthesized. Most compounds reduced angiotensin II‐induced vascular contraction in an initial biological screening, with compound 7f emerging as the most active derivative.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Expression of mRNAs for different types of IP3 receptors in rat kidneys
Cloning studies have extensively characterized two types of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors from the rat. An IP3 receptor from the cerebellum is referred to as type 1, and a second, recently described, receptor is referred to as the type 2 ...

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.
