Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Epilepsy affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide, and although medications are effective in the majority of cases, seizures persist in approximately 30% of patients. Despite the effort to develop new antiseizure drugs, the rate of pharmacoresistance in patients has not diminished over the past 3 decades. There is thus a real unmet

Purinergic receptors in the endocrine and exocrine pancreas [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2007 The pancreas is a complex gland performing both endocrine and exocrine functions. In recent years there has been increasing evidence that both endocrine and exocrine cells possess purinergic receptors, which influence processes such as insulin secretion and epithelial ion transport. Most commonly, these processes have been viewed separately.

Regional differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry in the epithelium of the intact human lens [PDF]
, 2009 An elevated level of Ca2+ is an important factor in cataract, yet precisely how Ca2+ enters the lens is unknown. Lens epithelial cells contain a range of G-protein–coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases that induce increases in intracellular Ca2+

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The adenylyl cyclase (AC) Rv1625c from M. tuberculosis is a monomeric progenitor of the nine pseudoheterodimeric mammalian AC isoforms. The hexahelical membrane anchor of Rv1625c serves as an inhibitory receptor for fatty acids, particularly oleic acid. One ligand binds into each monomer of the active Rv1625c dimer.

Targeting Purinergic Receptors in Islet Transplantation [PDF]
Diabetes, 2013 Transplanted islets are exposed to a distinctively hostile immunological environment. Grafted islets typically encounter a combination of innate, allogeneic and anti-islet immune responses—the relative contributions of which are not fully understood.

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]
, 2015 The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The majority of L4–L5 dorsal root ganglion cells innervating the triceps surae muscles of healthy rats expressed TRPC6 channels. In decerebrated rats, pharmacological inhibition of TRPC6 channels by injection of antagonists (SAR7334 or BI‐749327) into the arterial supply of the triceps surae muscles inhibited the exercise pressor

Chemoreflex function in pulmonary diseases – A review
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Chemoreflex activation in respiratory diseases and COVID‐19 populations. Abstract The chemoreflex is a vital protective reflex that is crucial in restoring normal blood gas and pH levels. The carotid bodies are peripheral chemoreceptors activated by hypoxia (primarily), hypercapnia, acidaemia, temperature, lactate and potassium ...
