Although purinergic P2Y2 receptor can regulate neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neurogenesis in mammals, it is downregulated following spinal cord injury (SCI). It was previously unknown whether this receptor regulates these processes in the more‐regenerative zebrafish model, where the contribution of these responses allows near‐complete ...

The P2X7 receptor is a trimeric ligand-gated ion channel, present in many mammalian species including the canine. P2X7 activation by its natural ligand, extracellular adenosine 5´-triphosphate (ATP), leads to the opening of a large non-selective pore ...

P2X7, inflammation and gastrointestinal disease [PDF]
The inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are characterised by spontaneously relapsing and remitting inflammation, associated with increased mucosal levels of the inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1 (IL-1)β.

BRET‐Based Approaches for Ion Channels: Emerging Applications and Future Directions
Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) is a versatile method for studying ligand–protein interactions. Its compatibility with high‐throughput screening and real‐time kinetics has made it widely used in drug discovery. Here, we summarize recent applications of BRET‐based methods for studying ligand binding to ion channels, highlighting key ...

Hyperactivation of P2X7 receptors as a culprit of COVID-19 neuropathology
Scientists and health professionals are exhaustively trying to contain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by elucidating viral invasion mechanisms, possible drugs to prevent viral infection/replication, and health cares to minimize ...

Natural product flavonoids have a multi‐target therapeutic intervention effect on osteoarthritis. They promote autophagy and cartilage synthesis while alleviating oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation, and inhibiting matrix degradation. By restoring OPG/RANKL balance and regulating bone metabolism, these compounds synergistically delay the ...

The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Integrated Engineering of CAR‐T Cells for Solid Tumours
Solid tumours pose multifactorial barriers including antigen heterogeneity, immunosuppressive microenvironment, and poor T‐cell trafficking, limiting CAR‐T efficacy compared to hematologic malignancies. Integrated engineering strategies are essential, combining logic‐gated receptors for precision, metabolic‐epigenetic reprogramming for resilience, and ...
