Studies of membrane fluidity and heart contractile force in Trypanosoma cruzi infected mice

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
In Chagas disease serious cardiac dysfunction can appear. We specifically studied the cardiac function by evaluating: ventricle contractile force and norepinephrine response, affinity and density of beta-adrenergic receptors, dynamic properties of ...

The interaction of tiotropium with long lasting β2-agonists on lung cell function [PDF]

, 2013
The major question addressed in this thesis was to find the mechanism(s) by which muscarinic receptors interact with β2-adrenergic receptors in human airway fibroblasts.

Internalization dissociates β2-adrenergic receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) self-associate as dimers or higher-order oligomers in living cells. The stability of associated GPCRs has not been extensively studied, but it is generally thought that these receptors move between the plasma membrane ...

Pregnancy modifies the α2-β-adrenergic receptor functional balance in rabbit fat cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
The sympathetic nervous system controls lipolysis in fat by activation of four adrenergic receptors: β1, β2, β3, and α2. During pregnancy, maternal metabolism presents anabolic and catabolic phases, characterized by modifications of fat responsiveness to

Molecular Mechanism for Ligand Recognition and Subtype Selectivity of α2C Adrenergic Receptor

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Adrenergic G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate different cellular signaling pathways in the presence of endogenous catecholamines and play important roles in both physiological and pathological conditions.

Antipsychotic-induced bone loss: the role of dopamine, serotonin and adrenergic receptor signalling

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Antipsychotics are commonly used in treating psychiatric disorders. These medications primarily target dopamine the serotonin receptors, they have some affinity to adrenergic, histamine, glutamate and muscarinic receptors. There is clinical evidence that

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Epigenetic heterogeneity and plasticity in therapy‐induced tumor states through single‐cell multi‐omics

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell multi‐omics reveals epigenetic heterogeneity across therapy‐adaptive tumor states, including quiescent/dormant, drug‐tolerant persister, and EMT‐like phenotypes. By linking regulatory features with state‐associated biomarkers, these approaches inform biomarker‐guided therapeutic strategies for evolving tumors.
