Chemosensory signalling in human sperm is controlled by Ca2+ influx via CatSper and Ca2+ clearance via plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Loss of function of the sperm‐specific Ca2+ channel CatSper is a common channelopathy that causes male infertility. CatSper controls the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and, thereby, the motility of human sperm. Activation of CatSper by oviductal ligands evokes a transient Ca2+ increase, which entails changes in the ...

P2Y14 receptor activation of platelets induces Ca2+ mobilization and Rho‐GTPase‐dependent motility that requires an interaction with P2Y1 receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Platelet function during inflammation is dependent on activation by endogenous nucleotides acting on purinergic receptors. The P2Y14 receptor has been reported to be expressed on platelets and is involved in leukocyte recruitment during inflammation.

Vitamin D deficiency induces erectile dysfunction: Role of superoxide and Slpi

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and erectile dysfunction (ED). We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D receptor (VDR) knockout causes ED and analysed the underlying molecular mechanisms.

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 ...

Exploring the Activation of the Keap1‐Nrf2‐ARE Pathway by PAHs in Children's Toys

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Our study evaluated the skin sensitisation risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in toys, revealing that B[k]F, B[b]F and chrysene are highly potent sensitizers. Synergistic effects in PAH mixtures underscore the need to consider combined exposures when assessing environmental risks to children.

Contact Urticaria and Related Conditions: Clinical Review

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contact urticaria (CoU) is an immediate contact reaction occurring within minutes to an hour after exposure to specific proteins or chemicals. CoU is categorised into non‐immunologic (NI‐CoU) and immunologic (I‐CoU) types, with I‐CoU potentially leading to anaphylaxis. Both forms of CoU can be associated with protein contact dermatitis and the

Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes: A Promising Therapeutic Strategy for Age‐Related Diseases

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Mechanisms of MSC‐Exos in the treatment of age‐related diseases. A Immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatory, MSC‐Exos mediate immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatory effects by regulating the polarisation of T cells and macrophages, promoting an anti‐inflammatory state while inhibiting pro‐inflammatory responses; B Suppression of oxidative stress, MSC ...
