Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 and Male Infertility: Could Connexin and Pannexin Play a Role?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on male infertility has lately received significant attention. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in humans, has been shown to impose adverse effects

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability. (

Possible role of hemichannels in cancer.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 In humans, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are the building blocks of hemichannels. These proteins are frequently altered in neoplastic cells and have traditionally been considered as tumor suppressors.

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.This review provides a comprehensive overview of how macrophages, neutrophils, T cells and other immune cells infiltrate the aortic wall, undergo phenotypic shifts and interact with one another in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a lethal degenerative vascular disease with no approved clinical drugs. Immune

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Urolithin A (UA) and urolithin B (UB) are gut microbiota‐derived metabolites of ellagitannins reported to influence mitochondrial function, inflammation and muscle metabolism. Their comparative transcriptomic effects in human skeletal muscle cells remain undefined.

Contribution of large-pore channels to inflammation induced by microorganisms
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Plasma membrane ionic channels selectively permeate potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride ions. However, large-pore channels are permeable to ions and small molecules such as ATP and glutamate, among others.

ATP Release and Purinergic Signaling Potentiate β‐Adrenergic Effects on Brown Adipocytes
Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Brown adipose tissue (BAT) specializes in energy consumption and thermogenesis in response to cold stress. Brown adipocytes (BA) express purinergic receptors, yet little is known about the source of extracellular ATP and the role of purinergic signaling, and the potential interaction with β‐adrenergic signaling.
