Piezo1 in intestinal smooth muscle cells: Emerging perspectives
Abstract figure legend Loss of Piezo1 in SMCs results in delayed gut transit, impaired small bowel contractility, and tissue alterations. But more critically, Piezo1 is shown to be intracellularly localized, highlighting important implications given the phenotype. Adapted from Bautista, G.M. et al.

Modulation of endoplasmic reticulum calcium pump expression during lung cancer cell differentiation [PDF]
Cellular calcium signaling plays important roles in several signal transduction pathways that control proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. In epithelial cells calcium signaling is initiated mainly by calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum ...

Role of the JP45-Calsequestrin Complex on Calcium Entry in Slow Twitch Skeletal Muscles [PDF]
We exploited a variety of mouse models to assess the roles of JP45-CASQ1 (CASQ, calsequestrin) and JP45-CASQ2 on calcium entry in slow twitch muscles.

糖尿病の骨格筋における in vivoカルシウム調節機構 [PDF]
The morphological and functional property in the skeletal muscle is associated with intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i)homeostasis. In this thesis,[Ca2+]i homeostatic control mechanism was investigated by in vivo bioimaging on animal model of diabetes mellitus ...

Mesenchymal stromal cells inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation in a model of Coxsackievirus B3-induced inflammatory cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Inflammation in myocarditis induces cardiac injury and triggers disease progression to heart failure. NLRP3 inflammasome activation is a newly identified amplifying step in the pathogenesis of myocarditis.

Changes in cardiac phenotype in hypertrophy and failure: From receptor to gene [PDF]
The terminally differentiated adult cardiac myocyte cannot undergo cellular division. Growth of the heart in response to chronic hemodynamic overload therefore occurs through hypertrophy of the myocytes.

Axial tubule junctions control rapid calcium signaling in atria. [PDF]
The canonical atrial myocyte (AM) is characterized by sparse transverse tubule (TT) invaginations and slow intracellular Ca2+ propagation but exhibits rapid contractile activation that is susceptible to loss of function during hypertrophic remodeling ...

Effects of human recombinant growth hormone on exercise capacity, cardiac structure, and cardiac function in patients with adult-onset growth hormone deficiency [PDF]
Objective Epidemiological studies suggest that adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) might increase the risk of death from cardiovascular causes. Methods This was a 6-month double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, cross-over trial followed by
