11. Elucidating the molecular basis of Na+/H+ exchange
Abstract : Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are membrane transport proteins, which catalyse the movement of nutrients, ions, and drugs across cell membranes. Here, I will present our contribution to understanding the mechanism of the sodium/proton exchangers (NHE), belonging to the SLC9 family of membrane transporters. READ MORE

12. Function, Pharmacology, Evolution and Anatomical Localization of G Protein-Coupled Receptors and Solute Carriers
Abstract : The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and solute carriers (SLC) are two large families of membrane-bound proteins. The aim of this study was to characterize these two families in terms of evolution and function. READ MORE

13. Establishing the mechanistic basis of sugar transport
Abstract : Sugar is a vital molecule required for cell viability and homeostasis. Sugar is important for metabolic energy, energy storage, signaling, structure and osmolyte regulation. Transport of sugar represents an important physiological process. READ MORE

14. Mechanisms triggering the recruitment of mast cell progenitors to the lung and regulation of mast cell degranulation
Abstract : Mast cells stem from the bone marrow and migrate via the blood as mast cell progenitors. Upon arrival in peripheral tissues, they develop into mast cells. These rare immune cells have numerous granules that contain large amounts of pro-inflammatory mediators. READ MORE

15. Effects of insulin on the decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells : in vitro studies
Abstract : Hyperinsulinemia is a known characteristic of obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome, two common clinical conditions associated with reproductive problems. However, the underlying mechanisms to reduced fertility are not fully elucidated, and the role of insulin in reproduction needs further investigation. READ MORE
