P1 and P2 Purine and Pyrimidine Receptor Ligands

, 2001
Research focused on P1 and P2 purinergic receptor function is currently at a critical stage where considerable efforts in the disciplines of medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacology have resulted in the identification of a number of novel ligands that have been used to enhance understanding of the roles of both P1 (adenosine) and P2 ...

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Localization of CGRP and VEGF mRNAs in the mouse superior cervical ganglion during pre- and postnatal development

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2018
The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mediates inflammation and head pain by influencing the functional vascular blood supply. CGRP is a well-characterized mediator of receptor-regulated neurotransmitter release.

Effect of bacteriophage P1 lysogeny on lipopolysaccharide composition and the lambda receptor of Escherichia coli [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1984
The outer membrane of Escherichia coli was altered as a consequence of lysogeny by bacteriophages P1 and P1 cmts. The predominant change was a reduction in the size of lipopolysaccharide to a heptose-deficient form. P1 cmts lysogens were still sensitive to several bacteriophages but were resistant to lambda vir.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Neuropeptide F regulates courtship in Drosophila through a male-specific neuronal circuit

eLife, 2019
Male courtship is provoked by perception of a potential mate. In addition, the likelihood and intensity of courtship are influenced by recent mating experience, which affects sexual drive.

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of scavenger receptor zebrafish CL-P1

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2011
Scavenger receptors are generally expressed in macrophages and vascular endothelial cells and some scavenger receptors are thought to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.We cloned the cDNA of a zebrafish CL-P1 (collectin placenta 1) and performed a knockdown study using its antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MO).Zebrafish CL-P1 (zCL-P1)

Portable Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Sensor for Rapid Swab‐Based Detection of Norovirus

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports a rapid, portable smartphone‐based sensor capable of detecting four norovirus genotypes from swab samples within 15 min. Sensor selectivity was validated through evaluation against four common live viruses. The swab‐based sampling process enabled simple sample preparation combined with the compact detection system, supporting use of ...

DNA methylation promotes the expression of PPARγ transcript 1 at least in part by preventing NRF1 binding to the promoter P1 of chicken PPARγ gene

Poultry Science
: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a master regulator of adipogenesis. Our previous study revealed that chicken PPARγ has 3 alternative promoters named as P1, P2, and P3, and the DNA methylation of promoter P3 was negatively ...
