Promotion of cutaneous penetration of nifedipine for nanoemulsion

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2017
This article reports the development and characterization of a nanoemulsion (NE) able to improve the cutaneous penetration of nifedipine. NE with nifedipine was development and characterized, presenting droplet size of 20 nm with low polydispersity index

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Amyloid β alters vascular CaV1.2 channel spatiotemporal properties

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Amyloid‐β1‐42 (Aβ1‐42) triggers a male‐specific signalling cascade influencing CaV1.2 spatiotemporal properties in cerebral vascular smooth muscle. The signalling pathway involves NADPH oxidase (NOX)‐derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Aβ1‐42 can also activate protein kinase A (PKA).

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

The Effect of Topical Nifedipine in Treatment of Chronic Anal Fissure

Acta Medica Iranica, 2010
Chronic anal fissure is the most common cause of anal pain associated with internal anal sphincter hypertonia. Reduction of hypertonocity is a special treatment for fissure healing.

An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are
