Cloning and characterization of a P2X receptor expressed in the central nervous system of Lymnaea stagnalis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
P2X receptors are membrane ion channels gated by extracellular ATP. Mammals possess seven distinct P2X subtypes (P2X1-7) that have important functions in a wide array of physiological processes including roles in the central nervous system (CNS) where ...

Enzymatic Degradation of Poly(Butylene Adipate‐co‐Terephthalate)/Poly(Lactic Acid) Blends

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is regularly blended with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) to produce compostable plastic films used in packaging applications, for example. Since PLA and PBAT both contain ester bonds, these PBAT/PLA blends are interesting candidates for enzymatic recycling.

Functional maturation of isolated neural progenitor cells from the adult rat hippocampus [PDF]

, 2004
Although neural progenitor cells (NPCs) may provide a source of new neurons to alleviate neural trauma, little is known about their electrical properties as they differentiate.

Comparative genome analysis of tomato‐pathogenic Clavibacter michiganensis strains reveal genetic diversity in virulence genes

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The present study builds upon this work, focusing on characterising the genomic diversity of Cmm strains exhibiting varying levels of pathogenicity in tomatoes. To this end, 12 Cmm strains displaying differential virulence on tomato were isolated and their genomes sequenced using the NovaSeq 6000 platform, using the reference Cmm strain PD223 as a ...

Photofission of heavy nuclei at energies up to 4 GeV

, 2000
Total photofission cross sections for 238U, 235U, 233U, 237Np, 232Th, and natPb have been measured simultaneously, using tagged photons in the energy range Egamma=0.17-3.84 GeV. This was the first experiment performed using the Photon Tagging Facility in

CFTR mediates noradrenaline-induced ATP efflux from DRG neurons

Molecular Pain, 2011
In our earlier study, noradrenaline (NA) stimulated ATP release from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons as mediated via β3 adrenoceptors linked to Gs protein involving protein kinase A (PKA) activation, to cause allodynia. The present study was conducted

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA. Recent

Altered purinergic signaling in uridine adenosine tetraphosphate-induced coronary relaxation in swine with metabolic derangement [PDF]

, 2017
We previously demonstrated that uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) induces potent and partially endothelium-dependent relaxation in the healthy porcine coronary microvasculature.

Suramin inhibits antibody binding to cell surface antigens and disrupts complement-mediated mesangial cell lysis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
Suramin inhibits immune responses and protects cells against inflammatory cell injury. However, little is known about its mechanisms. Using an in vitro model of glomerular mesangial cell (MC) lysis induced by antibodies plus complement, we investigated ...

The signaling role of extracellular ATP in co-culture of Shiraia sp. S9 and Pseudomonas fulva SB1 for enhancing hypocrellin A production

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Background Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) plays both a central role as an intracellular energy source, and a crucial extracellular signaling role in diverse physiological processes of animals and plants.
