Atp4- Activates P2x Receptors [PDF]
P2X receptors are non-selective cation channels that are involved in many important physiological processes, including neurotransmission and inflammation. Extracellular ATP released from synaptic vesicles or damaged tissues has been demonstrated to be the ligand for activating P2X receptors.

Antidepressants inhibit P2X4 receptor function: a possible involvement in neuropathic pain relief
Background Neuropathic pain is characterized by pain hypersensitivity to innocuous stimuli (tactile allodynia) that is nearly always resistant to known treatments such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or even opioids.

Dual functions of SNAP25 in mouse taste buds
Abstract figure legend Conditional knockout of Snap25 in taste cells leads to a marked reduction in the number of sour‐responsive Type III cells in both fungiform and circumvallete papillae of mice. In behavioral assays, Snap25/Trpv1 double knockout mice display increased licking to sour tastants, suggesting impaired aversive responses.

Decoherence Effects in Reactive Scattering
Decoherence effects on quantum and classical dynamics in reactive scattering are examined using a Caldeira-Leggett type model. Through a study of dynamics of the collinear H+H2 reaction and the transmission over simple one-dimensional barrier potentials,

Comparative analysis of P2X1, P2X2, P2X3, and P2X4 receptor subunits in rat nodose ganglion neurons.
Nodose ganglion (NG) neurons are visceral primary sensory neurons. The transmission and regulation of visceral sensation is mediated mainly by the P2X purinoceptor (P2X receptor).

Abstract Background and Purpose Morphine is among the most powerful analgesic, but its long‐term use can cause tolerance. Synaptic ATP supply is critical for maintaining synaptic transmission. Microtubule‐based mitochondrial transport ensures synaptic energy supply.

NLRP3 Inflammasome activation drives inflammatory responses through the production and activation of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Repurposing sulphonylureas and their derivatives to target NLRP3 may act as adjunct therapeutics for autoimmune conditions. ABSTRACT A rapid and cost‐effective arm of the drug discovery and development process is finding new ...

Opioid receptors in cardiovascular function
Opioid receptors are G protein‐coupled receptors expressed by various cells in the heart, including myocytes and nerve fibres, and play a crucial role in modulating cardiac function. These receptors influence neural transmission, heart rate and myocyte contractility, offering cardioprotection.
