Role of Nucleotide P2 Receptors in the Immune System: Focus on Effector T Cells

open access: yesCells
The emergence of purinergic signaling has given ATP and other extracellular nucleotides a whole new perspective. This concept refers to the fact that extracellular nucleotides released by most cells act as signaling molecules via specific membrane ...

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+

Mechanism and role of regulated cell death in tumor immunity and immunotherapy

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought breakthroughs, but only about one‐third of cancer patients benefit from ICIs. In recent years, targeting non‐apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD) subtypes, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, cuproptosis, and pyroptosis, has emerged as a novel strategy in cancer therapy due to ...
