The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Dual control of vascular tone and remodelling by ATP released from nerves and endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2008
Purinergic signalling is important both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling.

Differential sensitivity of brainstem vs cortical astrocytes to changes in pH reveals functional regional specialization of astroglia [PDF]

, 2013
Astrocytes might function as brain interoceptors capable of detecting different (chemo)sensory modalities and transmitting sensory information to the relevant neural networks controlling vital functions.

Optochemical modulation of corneal cold nerve terminal impulse activity with a photochromic ion channel blocker

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The functional organization of corneal cold nerve endings, critical structures in maintaining the ocular surface, remains poorly understood. Here, the photoisomerizable small‐molecule diethylamine‐azobenzene‐quaternary ammonium (DENAQ) was used to photomodulate activity of cold‐sensing nerve terminals in control and chronic tear ...

Transcriptional and translational differences of microglia from male and female brains [PDF]

, 2019
Sex differences in brain structure and function are of substantial scientific interest because of sex-related susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disorders. Neuroinflammation is a common denominator of many of these diseases and thus microglia

Identification of prokineticin‐2 as potential pharmacodynamic biomarker for overcoming doxorubicin resistance in multicellular breast cancer spheroids

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Despite advances in immunotherapy, doxorubicin (Dox) chemotherapy is still the irreplaceable first‐line therapy for solid tumours such as breast cancer. However, chemotherapy resistance is the major limiting factor, requiring the use of high doses of Dox to achieve the anti‐tumour actions, often leading to severe side effects ...

Cell membrane disruption stimulates cAMP and Ca2+ signaling to potentiate cell membrane resealing in neighboring cells

Biology Open, 2017
Disruption of cellular plasma membranes is a common event in many animal tissues, and the membranes are usually rapidly resealed. Moreover, repeated membrane disruptions within a single cell reseal faster than the initial wound in a protein kinase A (PKA)

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora
