1. Aspects of proteinase-activated receptor-2: A sensor of enzymatic activity at the cell surface
Abstract : Information about extracellular proteolytic activity is transduced to the cell by a transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor subfamily. These receptors are activated by proteolytic cleavage in the extracellular amino-terminal domain and are thus termed proteinase-activated receptors (PARs). READ MORE

2. Beyond AMPA and NMDA: Slow synaptic mGlu/TRPC currents : Implications for dendritic integration
Abstract : In order to understand how the brain functions, under normal as well as pathological conditions, it is important to study the mechanisms underlying information integration. Depending on the nature of an input arriving at a synapse, different strategies may be used by the neuron to integrate and respond to the input. READ MORE

3. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels
Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.

4. Nuclear receptor corepressor N-CoR : role in transcriptional repression
Abstract : The human body consists of a multitude of cells of varying appearance and function. With a few exceptions they are genetically identical, and the key to their divergence lies in their different specific patterns of gene expression. READ MORE

5. Roles of the transient receptor potential channels and the intracellular Ca2+ channels in Ca2+ signaling in the beta-cells
Abstract : Previous studies from our group reported that pancreatic β-cells express ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that can mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The full consequences of the activation of RyRs on Ca2+ signaling in these cells, however, remained unclear. READ MORE
