2. Ethanol-mediated effects on astroglial cells in primary culture. With a focus on acute changes in intracellular Ca2+, cell volume, actin filaments, and gap junction coupling
Abstract : The astroglial cells are abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), where they control and regulate the homeostasis of the extracellular milieu. A change in astroglial cell volume, mediated through activation of neuroactive substances or changes in osmolarity, leads to changes in the size and geometry of the extracellular space volume, which could affect the diffusion and concentration of neuroactive substances.

3. The interplay of ions in the stimulation of the pancreatic -cell
Abstract : Glucose stimulation of insulin release is mediated by depolarisation of the pancreatic β-cells with accompanying entry of Ca2+ through voltage-dependent channels. An important feature of the glucose-induced depolarisation is its rhythmicity causing oscillations of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which trigger pulsatile release of insulin.

4. The hyperosmolar airway : Mechanisms of reduced response to nitric oxide
Abstract : Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) relaxes smooth muscle of the airways and of pulmonary blood vessels and is used to treat lung diseases where the pulmonary vessels are constricted. NO has also been tested as a bronchodilator in asthmatic patients. READ MORE

5. Furosemide dosage input : consequences for diuretic effect, tolerance and efficiency
Abstract : The development of new dosage forms raises the question of how the pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) profile of a drug is influenced by the drug input rate. Furosemide was used as a model drug to study the relationship between drug input rate and effect. READ MORE
