ATP Release and Purinergic Signaling Potentiate β‐Adrenergic Effects on Brown Adipocytes
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.

Abstract The lungs have for a long time been recognised as having pharmacological significance as a specific organ to modulate the pharmacokinetics of endogenous substances needed to maintain homeostasis. The lungs are therefore the site of action of certain drugs that act on these homeostatic processes, resulting in systemic effects on the ...

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Postnatal developmental changes in the laryngeal chemosensory cell clusters of rats
Chemosensory cell clusters appeared in the rat larynx 2 days after birth and were already connected to afferent nerve fibers. Their number increased until 3 weeks of age, then stabilized while continuing to grow through the addition of new cells. Because their number reached a plateau around the time of weaning, their development may be linked to ...

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Glioblastoma Tumor Microenvironment and Purinergic Signaling: Implications for Novel Therapies
Glial-origin brain tumors, particularly glioblastomas (GBMs), are known for their devastating prognosis and are characterized by rapid progression and fatal outcomes.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

RT promotes VG161 replication in BC and its immunostimulatory transgenes expression, which is mediated by the upregulation of GADD34 and HVEM caused by RT. The combination therapy with VG161 and RT increases the abundances of tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes and elicits potent systemic antitumor immunity, thereby effectively inhibiting local tumors and ...

Microplastics (MPs) breach the gut‐brain axis by triggering taurine‐depleting microbiota dysbiosis that accelerates Alzheimer‐like pathology in 5XFAD mice. Taurine supplementation normalizes autophagy, microglial quiescence, and cognition, and plasma taurine inversely tracks cognitive decline in ADNI participants, revealing a readily translatable ...

Spatial Omics in High‐Grade Gliomas: Mapping Immune–Tumor Niches for Precision Therapy
ABSTRACT High‐grade gliomas (HGGs), particularly glioblastoma (GBM), remain among the most lethal human cancers despite decades of molecular profiling and therapeutic innovation. A primary reason for treatment failure is that HGG biology is spatial: malignant cell states, immune suppression, metabolic stress, and therapeutic resistance are organized ...
