Nimodipine reduces microglial activation in vitro as evidenced by morphological phenotype, phagocytic activity and high‐throughput RNA sequencing

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Nimodipine, an L‐type voltage‐gated calcium channel blocker, is an approved cerebral vasorelaxant. We hypothesized that nimodipine attenuates the pro‐inflammatory shift in microglial phenotypes. Here, we analysed the effects of nimodipine on morphological and functional microglial phenotypes as well as their transcriptomic ...

Connexin43 Promotes the Invasion and Metastasis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma via GJIC‐Dependent Ca2+/ERK Signaling Activation

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Cx43 mediated GJIC‐dependent delivery of second messenger Ca2+ thus activating the ERK signaling pathway. Verapamil, effective effectively inhibits these pathways. ABSTRACT Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is an extremely metastatic cancer with limited available treatment and poor outcomes.

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Pulmonary surfactant and prostaglandin E2 in airway smooth muscle relaxation of human and male guinea pigs

open access: yesPhysiological Reports
Pulmonary surfactant serves as a barrier to respiratory epithelium but can also regulate airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone. Surfactant (SF) relaxes contracted ASM, similar to β2‐agonists, anticholinergics, nitric oxide, and prostanoids. The exact mechanism

Medial femorotibial and femoropatellar articular cartilage delamination following intra‐articular therapy with triamcinolone and gentamicin in five yearlings

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Subchondral lucencies (SCLs) of the medial femoral condyle (MFC) are a cause of lameness in young horses, potentially affecting future athletic performance. Due to the widespread use of pre‐sales screening radiographs for Thoroughbred weanlings and yearlings, these lesions are frequently identified at various stages of progression without the ...

Single injection of intra‐articular autologous protein solution in horses with acute interleukin‐1B‐induced synovitis decreases joint pathology scores

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 806-816, May 2025.
Abstract Background Autologous protein solution (APS) has been shown to decrease lameness in horses with osteoarthritis (OA). Synovitis is an early driver of OA, providing an opportunity to intervene in the progression of disease via intra‐articular (IA) therapeutics.
