The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Prevalence and Nationality Distribution of Known and Novel Genetic Variants in Children With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in the State of Qatar

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
CT scan image of a 17‐year‐old female with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) showing dextrocardia and bilateral bronchiectasis. The study describes genetic mutations affecting patients with PCD in Qatar and the corresponding clinical phenotype of affected patients.

C. elegans PPEF-type phosphatase (Retinal degeneration C ortholog) functions in diverse classes of cilia to regulate nematode behaviors

Scientific Reports
Primary (non-motile) cilia represent structurally and functionally diverse organelles whose roles as specialized cellular antenna are central to animal cell signaling pathways, sensory physiology and development.

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

Modelling the Fluid Mechanics of Cilia and Flagella in Reproduction and Development

, 2012
Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-dominated microscale flow, including time-reversal symmetry, drag anisotropy of

Lung organoids as a human system for Mycobacteria infection modeling and drug testing

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are still public health issues. In 2023, TB caused 1.25 million deaths, while NTM remain a clinical challenge for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Hydrodynamic flow patterns and synchronization of beating cilia

, 2006
We calculate the hydrodynamic flow field generated far from a cilium which is attached to a surface and beats periodically. In the case of two beating cilia, hydrodynamic interactions can lead to synchronization of the cilia, which are nonlinear ...

The Evolving Landscape of CHD Genetics: A Contemporary Guide to Genetic Testing and Management

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting an estimated 9.4/1000 infants globally. The genetics of CHD is complex, with most cases thought to have multifactorial aetiology, implicating both genetic and environmental factors.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.
