Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are noncirculating immune cells that contribute to the first line of local defense against reinfections. Their location at hotspots of pathogen encounter frequently exposes TRM to tissue damage. This history of danger-signal exposure is an

New methods are needed to reduce dynamic blebbing which inhibits cell attachment and survival during passaging of pluripotent stem cells. We tested the hypothesis that activation of the P2X7 receptor by extracellular ATP during passaging initiates dynamic blebbing. The P2X7

The P2X7 receptor is an extracellular ATP-gated cation channel critical in inflammation and immunity, and can be up-regulated by IFN-γ and LPS. This study aimed to examine the effect of TGF-β1 on the up-regulation of P2X7 function and expression in

To assess the activation of the charybdotoxin-insensitive K(+) channel responsible for Regulatory Volume Decrease (RVD) after substantial volume increases, we measured intracellular pH (pH(i)), intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) and inhibitors of kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases in guinea pig jejunal villus enterocytes
