Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.

The second transmembrane domain of P2X7 contributes to dilated pore formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Activation of the purinergic receptor P2X7 leads to the cellular permeability of low molecular weight cations. To determine which domains of P2X7 are necessary for this permeability, we exchanged either the C-terminus or portions of the second ...

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.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,

The role of p2x7 receptor in infectious inflammatory diseases and the influence of ectonucleotidases
Biomedical Journal, 2014 The purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2X7) is ubiquitously expressed in almost all tissues and organs of the body with the highest distribution in the immune cells of monocyte-macrophage origin.

Mapping Trofinetide Polypharmacology in Rett Syndrome: A Multi‐Stage Computational Analysis
Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 21, August 5, 2026.How can a single molecule address the complex symptoms of Rett syndrome? This computational study maps the multi‐target mechanism of trofinetide, revealing diverse modes of binding across five key receptors: GAT1, GABAA, CHRM1, AMPA, and GSK3β. From deep orthosteric anchoring to dynamic surface interactions, these structural insights provide a rational

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.ABSTRACT Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality with limited therapeutic options. Disulfidptosis, a novel cell death modality driven by disulfide stress, represents a promising target, yet its regulation in LUAD is poorly defined. Here, we identify Pannexin 2 (PANX2) as a tumor suppressor in LUAD.
