These compounds activate the polymodal nociceptors, which are sensory neurons present in various parts of the body, including the mouth and nose. These receptors are the same ones that respond to intense heat, and when they are activated by spicy foods, they give rise to a burning ...
This study demonstrates that bacteria, independently of the immune response, can directly activate nociceptor sensory neurons and induce pain in mice. Article CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Cohen, J. A. et al. Cutaneous TRPV1+ neurons trigger protective innate type 17 anticipatory ...
There are two main issues: first, as receptors and channels are present in the membrane at relatively low concentrations, it is often difficult to obtain sufficient quantities of purified protein for crystallization; and second, the purification process can cause a membrane protein to become ...
Based on immunolabeling in the trigeminal ganglia, TRPV1-lineage neurons comprise primarily peptidergic and nonpeptidergic nociceptors. Optical stimulation of channelrhodopsin-expressing axons in the TRPV1/ChR2 mouse in TNc slices thus allowed us to activate a nociceptor-enriched subset of primary ...
radicals, tumor promoters, UV-light, γ-rays, and x-rays, the subunits p50 and p65 translocate into the nucleus, bind to the promoters region of various genes, and activate more than 400 genes that are involved in inflammation and other chronic diseases [12] (Fig.1). Activation of NF-...
Over the last two decades, the understanding of how dysregulated ion channels and transporters are involved in carcinogenesis and tumor growth and progression, including invasiveness and metastasis, has been increasing exponentially. The present review s
progenitor cells NG2, GABA(A) receptors induced a depolarization that was able to activate a voltage-gated sodium channel and a non-inactivating Na + current, which in turn allowed the reverse mode functioning of NCX-1. This led to an increased calcium concentration and NG2 cell migration[...
One reason why IgM anti-HBc remains moderately positive in chronic HBV infections was detected by David Milich (La Jolla, California). HBcAg is an unusual T cell-independent antigen which can activate B cells to produce IgM anti-HBc [32]. The strong B cell immunogenicity of HBcAg may be pa...
