Mammalian α arrestins link activated seven transmembrane receptors to Nedd4 family e3 ubiquitin ligases and interact with β arrestins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The complement of fungal cell surface proteins is widely regulated by ubiquitination of membrane proteins, which results in their endocytosis and vacuolar degradation.

Alpha-1-Adrenergic receptors as new targets in Neuroblastoma

open access: yes, 2021
High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) is an aggressive childhood tumor that originates from progenitor neural crest cells. Even if the therapeutic protocol for NB is articulate and aggressive, the outcome remains dismal, with the 5-year disease-free overall survival below rating 50%.

Multimodal Imaging Reveals Rapid Catecholamine Uptake and Release by Neutrophils

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that immune cells (neutrophils) synthesize, uptake, and store catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine or adrenaline. They also release them in response to specific stimuli (serotonin), which we directly visualize using fluorescent nanosensors. We further demonstrate that catecholamines affect neutrophil functions (NETosis) and platelet

Effects of different frequencies of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on venous vascular reactivity

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a type of therapy used primarily for analgesia, but also presents changes in the cardiovascular system responses; its effects are dependent upon application parameters.

Alpha‐1 adrenergic receptor regulation of seizures and neurodegeneration

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Neurogenesis has potential as a treatment for epilepsy and neurodegeneration. The endogenous neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) may be involved in promoting neurogenesis through the activation of α 1 adrenergic receptors (ARs).

Stretchable Microelectrode Arrays with Microneedles for Reliable Electrophysiological Recording of Human Heart and Brain Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A stretchable 3D microelectrode array with microneedles (3D MN‐sMEA) enables stable, minimally destructive electrophysiological monitoring of 3D organoids. The wafer‐level stud‐bump bonding process facilitates high‐fidelity recordings of heart and cerebral organoids.

To compare the efficacy of tamsulosin and tolterodine in double-J stent-related symptoms: A prospective randomized trial

open access: yesMGM Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: Stent-related symptoms affect nearly 80% of patients with indwelling ureteral stents. Alpha blockers relieve flank pain by blocking alpha-adrenergic receptors and relaxing the smooth muscles of ureter, trigone, and prostatic urethra, thus ...

NMI Regulates Adipose Adaptive Thermogenesis Through TLR4/IRF3 Signaling to Promote Obesity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Adipose tissue‐derived NMI is secreted under metabolic stress and suppresses adaptive thermogenesis through TLR4/IRF3 signaling, repressing the PPARα/PGC‐1α/UCP1 thermogenic transcriptional program. Genetic ablation or anti ‐ NMI monoclonal antibody treatment enhances energy expenditure, protects against DIO, and ameliorates adipose tissue inflammation,

Activation of phospholipase C by alpha 1-adrenergic receptors is mediated by the alpha subunits of Gq family.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
High efficiency transient transfection of Cos-7 cells was previously used to establish the functional coupling between G alpha q/G alpha 11 and phospholipase C beta 1 (Wu, D., Lee, C-H., Rhee, S. G., and Simon, M. I. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 1811-1817).

Adipocyte Myoglobin Is a Determinant of Energy Expenditure and a Potential Target to Limit Obesity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Myoglobin, known as a muscle oxygen‐carrying protein, is shown to play a key role in fat cells that burn energy. Loss of myoglobin reduces the body's ability to generate heat and increases obesity risk, while restoring it improves metabolism. The study identifies myoglobin as a regulator of fat burning and a potential target to enhance energy ...
