Advances in the role of intestinal ion channels in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome [PDF]
Ion channels are widely present in mucous membranes of the digestive tract, their abnormal expression and(or) function are important pathogenic mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Venoms from tarantulas contain low molecular weight vasodilatory compounds whose biological action is conceived as part of the envenomation strategy due to its propagative effects. However, some properties of venom-induced vasodilation do not match those

Optogenetic Control of Voltage‐Gated Calcium Channels [PDF]
AbstractVoltage‐gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels mediate Ca2+ entry into excitable cells to regulate a myriad of cellular events following membrane depolarization. We report the engineering of RGK GTPases, a class of genetically encoded CaV channel modulators, to enable photo‐tunable modulation of CaV channel activity in excitable mammalian cells.

Active dendrites regulate the spatiotemporal spread of signaling microdomains. [PDF]
Microdomains that emerge from spatially constricted spread of biochemical signaling components play a central role in several neuronal computations.

Trafficking and stability of voltage-gated calcium channels [PDF]
Voltage-gated calcium channels are important mediators of calcium influx into electrically excitable cells. The amount of calcium entering through this family of channel proteins is not only determined by the functional properties of channels embedded in the plasma membrane but also by the numbers of channels that are expressed at the cell surface. The

Interaction of MDIMP with the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels [PDF]
Amino acid-derived isoindolines are synthetic compounds that were created with the idea of investigating their biological actions. The amino acid moiety was included on the grounds that it may help to avoid toxic effects. Recently, the isoindoline MDIMP was shown to inhibit both cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and voltage-dependent calcium ...

Leptin-Induced Endothelium-Independent Vasoconstriction in Thoracic Aorta and Pulmonary Artery of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Role of Calcium Channels and Stores. [PDF]
Decreased leptin-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been reported in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Here, we report leptin-induced vasoconstriction in endothelium-denuded pulmonary artery and thoracic aorta from SHR and sought to ...

Ion channel molecular complexes in vascular smooth muscle
Ion channels that influence membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentration control vascular smooth muscle excitability. Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, voltage (KV), and Ca2+-activated K ...

BCL9 and BCL9L drive bladder cancer progression by enhancing β‐catenin signaling, promoting proliferation, migration, invasion, and organoid growth. Genetic depletion of BCL9(L) suppresses malignant phenotypes, while pharmacological disruption of the β‐catenin/BCL9(L) complex with ZW4864 inhibits canonical Wnt signaling and tumor‐associated cellular ...
