Previous reports have shown that diltiazem and TMB, calcium channel antagonists, inhibit 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT(3A)) receptor-mediated currents (I(5-HT)) in cell lines and in heterologously expressed Xenopus oocytes. In the present study, we sought to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying
Overactivation of ionotropic glutamate receptors in oligodendrocytes induces cytosolic Ca(2+) overload and excitotoxic death, a process that contributes to demyelination and multiple sclerosis. Excitotoxic insults cause well-characterized mitochondrial alterations and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction, which is not fully understood. In
Medical cannabis (MC) production is a rapidly expanding industry. Over the past ten years, many additional phytocannabinoids have been discovered and used for different purposes. MC was reported beneficial for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions such as

In vivo chronic metabolic acidosis induces net Ca2+ efflux from bone, and incubation of neonatal mouse calvariae in medium simulating physiological metabolic acidosis induces bone resorption. It appears that activation of the proton (H+) receptor OGR1 in the osteoblast leads
Divalent cations, especially calcium and magnesium, have been shown to play an important regulatory role in endothelial and immune cells. To learn more about the interaction of these two metals in the regulation of cell growth, we altered the calcium/magnesium
