The Aquaporin‐4 Expression and Localization in the Olfactory Epithelium Modulate the Odorant‐Evoked Responses and Olfactory‐Driven Behavior

open access: yesGlia, Volume 73, Issue 8, Page 1642-1659, August 2025.
Main Points AQP4ex and OAP‐forming AQP4M23 are expressed in non‐neuronal cells of the olfactory epithelium. AQP4ex‐KO and OAP‐null mice show reduced cell density, including OSNs, and impaired odor responses and behavior, with AQP4ex emerging as key regulator.

Functions of Purinergic Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Purinergic receptors, also known as purinoceptors, are a family of plasma membrane molecules found in many mammalian tissues. Purinergic receptors are transmembrane receptors consisting of two main categories.

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

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 16, Page 3800-3817, August 2025.
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 ...

The Purinome and the preBötzinger Complex – A Ménage of Unexplored Mechanisms That May Modulate/Shape the Hypoxic Ventilatory Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Exploration of purinergic signaling in brainstem homeostatic control processes is challenging the traditional view that the biphasic hypoxic ventilatory response, which comprises a rapid initial increase in breathing followed by a slower secondary ...

Dual role for pannexin 1 at synapses: regulating functional and morphological plasticity

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 15, Page 4237-4253, 1 August 2025.
Abstract figure legend Pannexin 1 (PANX1) regulation of dendritic spines. The postnatal decrease in PANX1 expression could release key spine cytoskeleton‐regulating proteins enabling spine stabilization. Does the physiological decrease in neuronal PANX1 levels across brain development underlie dendritic spine maturation?

ATP Mediates Pyroptosis in the Intestinal Mucosal System During Colitis

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 240, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules released from damaged or dying cells that contribute to inflammation and cell death. Extracellular ATP, a type of DAMP, has been studied primarily in the context of pyroptosis in monocytes.

Short- and long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling involving cell proliferation, differentiation, motility and death in the development and regeneration of most systems of the body, in addition to fast purinergic signalling in neurotransmission ...
