ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]

, 2013
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Purinergic Signalling: Pathophysiological Roles

Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1998
In this review, after a summary of the history and current status of the receptors involved in purinergic signalling, we focus on the distribution and physiological roles of purines and pyrimidines in both short-term events such as neurotransmission, exocrine and endocrine secretion and regulation of immune cell function, and long-term events such as ...

Isolation and characterization of Pisum sativum apyrases, PsNTP9 and PsNTP9-DM, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2019
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is widely known as a fuel source for many biochemical processes, and to a lesser degree also as a signaling molecule in plants and animals.

Nimodipine reduces microglial activation in vitro as evidenced by morphological phenotype, phagocytic activity and high‐throughput RNA sequencing

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Nimodipine, an L‐type voltage‐gated calcium channel blocker, is an approved cerebral vasorelaxant. We hypothesized that nimodipine attenuates the pro‐inflammatory shift in microglial phenotypes. Here, we analysed the effects of nimodipine on morphological and functional microglial phenotypes as well as their transcriptomic ...

Spectral remapping of natural signals [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Here we present an algorithm to procedurally remap spectral contents of natural signals. The algorithm takes in two inputs: a signal whose spectral component needs to be remapped and a warping or remapping function. The algorithm generates one output, which is a remapped version of the original signal.

Many faces of DAMPs in cancer therapy [PDF]

, 2013
A new concept of immunogenic cell death (ICD) has recently been proposed. The immunogenic characteristics of this cell death mode are mediated mainly by molecules called ‘damage-associated molecular patterns’ (DAMPs), most of which are recognized by ...

The role of ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 and adenosine signalling in solid organ transplantation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Extracellular adenosine is a potent immunomodulatory molecule that accumulates in states of inflammation. Nucleotides such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) are release from injured and necrotic cells and hydrolysed to ...

Data fusion of multivariate time series: Application to noisy 12-lead ECG signals [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
12-lead ECG signals fusion is crucial for further ECG signal processing. In this paper, a novel fusion data algorithm is proposed. In the method, 12-lead ECG signals are appropriately converted to a single-lead physiological signal via the idea of the local weighted linear prediction algorithm.
