Differential Downregulation of β1‐Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in the Heart

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Chronic sympathetic stimulation drives desensitization and downregulation of β1 adrenergic receptor (β1AR) in heart failure. We aim to explore the differential downregulation subcellular pools of β1AR signaling in the heart.

The structural biology of ryanodine receptors [PDF]

Science China Life Sciences, 2011
Ryanodine receptors are ion channels that allow for the release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum. They are expressed in many different cell types but are best known for their predominance in skeletal and cardiac myocytes, where they are directly involved in excitation-contraction coupling. With molecular weights exceeding 2 MDa,

Semaglutide normalizes increased cardiomyocyte calcium transients in a rat model of high fat diet‐induced obesity

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.
Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

FKBP12 Depletion Leads to Loss of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ Stores in Rat Vas Deferens

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
The immunophilin 12-kDa FK506 binding protein (FKBP12) stabilizes intracellular Ca2+ release channel (CRC) activity in different tissues. In this work, the presence of FKBP12 in rat vas deferens (RVD) and its possible contribution to RVD function was ...

Dependency of calcium alternans on ryanodine receptor refractoriness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Rapid pacing rates induce alternations in the cytosolic calcium concentration caused by fluctuations in calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Phenols Vasodilate Rat Mesenteric Resistance Artery via Phospholipase C (PLC)-Calcium Microdomains-Potassium Channels (BK_Ca) Signals

Biomolecules, 2021
Recent evidence suggests that the reason Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of developing hypertension is partly due to minor components of EVOO, such as phenols. However, little is still known about the mechanism(s)

Accelerating virtual patient generation with a Bayesian optimization and machine learning surrogate model

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 486-494, March 2025.
Abstract The pharmaceutical industry has increasingly adopted model‐informed drug discovery and development (MID3) to enhance productivity in drug discovery and development. Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), which integrates drug action mechanisms and disease complexities to predict clinical endpoints and biomarkers is central to MID3.

“Ryanopathies” and RyR2 dysfunctions: can we further decipher them using in vitro human disease models?

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
The regulation of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is fundamental to maintain normal functions in many cell types. The ryanodine receptor (RyR), the largest intracellular calcium release channel located on the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER),
