STIM1-dependent peripheral coupling governs the contractility of vascular smooth muscle cells
Peripheral coupling between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and plasma membrane (PM) forms signaling complexes that regulate the membrane potential and contractility of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Macroglobulin signaling system [PDF]
This review will focus on the systematization of knowledge about structure of macroglobulin signaling system, which includes macroglobulin family proteins (alpha-2-macroglobulin, alpha-2-glycoprotein, pregnancy associated plasma protein A), their receptors (LRP, grp78), ligands (proteinases, cytokines, hormones, lipids, et al.) transforming and ...

Transient Receptor Potential Channel Ankyrin 1: A Unique Regulator of Vascular Function
TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1), the lone member of the mammalian ankyrin TRP subfamily, is a Ca2+-permeable, non-selective cation channel.

Endothelial cell TRPA1 activity exacerbates cerebral hemorrhage during severe hypertension
Introduction: Hypoxia-induced dilation of cerebral arteries orchestrated by Ca2+-permeable transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) cation channels on endothelial cells is neuroprotective during ischemic stroke, but it is unknown if the channel has

Performance Evaluation of Signaling in the IP QoS System
The IP QoS System is based on next generation networks (NGN) and differentiated services (DiffServ) architectures. Its main part is a signaling system, which allows to send a request from a user to the system for establishing new connection with ...

Brain endothelial cell TRPA1 channels initiate neurovascular coupling
Cerebral blood flow is dynamically regulated by neurovascular coupling to meet the dynamic metabolic demands of the brain. We hypothesized that TRPA1 channels in capillary endothelial cells are stimulated by neuronal activity and instigate a propagating ...

Leptin modulates nutrient reward via inhibitory galanin action on orexin neurons
Objective: Leptin modulates food reward via central leptin receptor (LepRb) expressing neurons. Food reward requires stimulation of midbrain dopamine neurons and is modulated by central leptin action, but the exact central mechanisms remain unclear ...
