Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

Systematic effects of flexible power-to-X operation in a renewable energy system - A case study from Japan

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Management: X, 2023
For achieving a carbon–neutral energy system, economical flexibility mechanisms are crucial to accommodate intermittent and decentralized renewable energy sources. Power-to-X (P2X) is a promising technology for this purpose.

The Multifaceted Etiology of Mental Disorders With a Focus on Trace Elements, a Review of Recent Literature

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental disorders are a significant global public health concern, affecting nearly one in eight individuals worldwide. This review investigates the multifaceted etiology of mental disorders—specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BD)—through genetic, neurobiological, and environmental ...

Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides. Whilst there is a wealth of literature

Point Mutation in the Mouse P2X Receptor Affects Intercellular Calcium Waves in Astrocytes

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2009
Purinergic P2 receptors and gap junctions are two groups of proteins involved in the transmission of ICWs (intercellular calcium waves) between astrocytes.

Enhancing antitumor immunity through the combination of cholesterolized TLR7 agonist liposomes and radiotherapy: a role for IL‐1β and the inflammasome pathway

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Radiotherapy (RT) is a key treatment modality in cancer therapy, utilizing high‐energy radiation to directly kill tumor cells. Recent research has increasingly highlighted RT's potential to indirectly enhance antitumor immunity. However, this immune activation alone often fails to generate sustained systemic antitumor responses.

P2X Receptors as Drug Targets [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Pharmacology, 2013
The study of P2X receptors has long been handicapped by a poverty of small-molecule tools that serve as selective agonists and antagonists. There has been progress, particularly in the past 10 years, as cell-based high-throughput screening methods were applied, together with large chemical libraries.

Allosteric Control of Gating and Kinetics at P2X₄ Receptor Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The CNS abundantly expresses P2X receptor channels for ATP; of these the most widespread in the brain is the P2X₄ channel. We show that ivermectin (IVM) is a specific positive allosteric effector of heterologously expressed P2X₄ and possibly of ...

Particle Kinematics in Horava-Lifshitz Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the deformed kinematics of point particles in the Horava theory of gravity. This is achieved by considering particles as the optical limit of fields with a generalized Klein-Gordon action.

PRIMITIVE ATP-ACTIVATED P2X RECEPTORS: DISCOVERY, FUNCTION AND PHARMACOLOGY

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) is omnipresent in biology. It is therefore no surprise that organisms have evolved multifaceted roles for ATP, exploiting its abundance and restriction of passive diffusion across biological membranes.
