Activation of adenosine A2B receptors enhances ciliary beat frequency in mouse lateral ventricle ependymal cells

open access: yesCerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2009
Background Ependymal cells form a protective monolayer between the brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They possess motile cilia important for directing the flow of CSF through the ventricular system.

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Radioligands targeting purinergic P2X7 receptor [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2020
The purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ligand-gated cationic channel receptor. P2X7R is closely associated with various inflammatory, immune, cancer, neurological, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disorders. P2X7R is an interesting therapeutic target as well as molecular imaging target.

Purinergic Receptor Expression and Potential Association with Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Development

open access: yesCell Journal, 2017
Objective: Due to recent progress in production of human embryonic stem cell-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (hESC-OPCs) for ameliorating myelin disease such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and the role of purinergic signaling in OPCs development,

Regional differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry in the epithelium of the intact human lens [PDF]

open access: yes, 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+

OCT‐Guided Distal Left Main Bifurcation PCI: Mid‐Term Outcomes From a Multicenter South‐Asian Registry

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enhances treatment of complex coronary artery lesions, including left main (LM) disease, by enabling lesion morphology assessment and stent optimization, thereby reducing major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
