Implications of purinergic receptor-mediated intracellular calcium transients in neural differentiation

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2013
Purinergic receptors participate, in almost every cell type, in controlling metabolic activities and many physiological functions including signal transmission, proliferation and differentiation. While most of P2Y receptors induce transient elevations of

Exploratory study of peripheral immune changes associated with diffusion MRI multi‐compartment model in temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Studies in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) have shown that focal inflammation is a key contributor to seizure initiation and maintenance. However, most in vivo studies to date have focused on positron emission tomography (PET) findings. In this exploratory study, we assessed the relationship between multicompartment Neurite Orientation ...

Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

Role of S1P‐ and Rho‐kinase signalling in age‐related myogenic tone deficiency in murine resistance arteries

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The myogenic response in resistance arteries is responsible for basal (myogenic) tone and blood flow autoregulation. G‐protein‐coupled receptors and G12/RhoA/Rho kinase are implicated in myogenic tone (MT), and we aimed to clarify their role in pressure sensing and ...

Role of purinergic receptors in the activation of human airway smooth muscle cells by the antimicrobial peptide LL-37

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2006
Inflammatory cells that infiltrate and surround the airway smooth muscle (ASM) layer express antimicrobial peptides including the cathelicidin LL-37.

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Extracellular Adenosine Diphosphate Ribose Mobilizes Intracellular Ca2+ via Purinergic-Dependent Ca2+ Pathways in Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Background/Aims: Adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), a product of β-NAD+ metabolism generated by the multifunctional enzyme CD38, is recognized as a novel signaling molecule. The catalytic site of CD38 orients extracellularly or intracellularly, capable

The glia‐immune network: Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes as microglial co‐ordinators in health and disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The glia‐immune network involves the communication(s) of glia via immune signalling pathways. In neuro‐homeostasis these pathways have been shown to modulate key processes such as synaptic pruning and myelination. The dynamics of these processes is critical to CNS function.

The P2X7 Receptor in Inflammatory Diseases: Angel or Demon?

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Under physiological conditions, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is present at low levels in the extracellular milieu, being massively released by stressed or dying cells.
