Blood DDIT4 and TRIM13 Transcript Levels Mark the Early Stages of Machado–Joseph Disease
Objective An abundance of select transcripts and proteins has been found to be dysregulated in blood samples of Machado–Joseph disease (MJD) carriers. Here, we aimed to: (1) identify blood transcriptional changes as potential biomarkers of MJD; (2) correlate levels of differentially expressed blood transcripts with MJD carriers features; and (3 ...

Targeting Connexin 43 in Retinal Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival in Glaucomatous Injury
Main Points Astrocytes play an important role in glaucoma. These cells express Cx43 which can form gap junctions and hemichannels. This study shows Cx43 deletion in astrocytes provides neuroprotection in glaucoma, possibly through hemichannel activation.

Potassium‐Dependent Coupling of Retinal Astrocyte Light Response to Müller Glia
Main Points Astrocytes depolarize to light ON and OFF like Müller glia. The astrocyte light response is due to potassium influx. Retinal macroglial current‐voltage responses exhibit rectification which changes with repeated stimulation. ABSTRACT Astrocytes throughout the central nervous system mediate a variety of functions to support proper tissue ...

ABSTRACT Regeneration after peripheral nerve injury is often insufficient for functional recovery. Postoperative electrical stimulation (PES) following injury and repair significantly improves clinical outcomes; recently, conditioning electrical stimulation (CES), delivered before nerve injury, has been introduced as a candidate for clinical ...

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

ROLE OF PURINERGIC RECEPTORS IN IMMUNE RESPONSE
Purine receptors are located on immune and somatic cells of animal and human organisms. Summation of signals from purine and TOLL-like receptors takes place on the level of inflammasome formation and results in summation of the first and second signals of innate immunity.

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

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands
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

Background and Purpose Platelet function during inflammation is dependent on activation by endogenous nucleotides acting on purinergic receptors. The P2Y14 receptor has been reported to be expressed on platelets and is involved in leukocyte recruitment during inflammation.
