    TREM2 regulates purinergic receptor-mediated calcium signaling and motility in human iPSC-derived microglia

    Amit Jairaman, Amanda McQuade ... Michael D Cahalan
    Deletion of Alzheimer’s disease risk gene TREM2 augments sensitivity to the purinergic agonist ADP, leading to increased Ca2+ influx and reduced directional migration in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia.

    Temperature evolution following joint loading promotes chondrogenesis by synergistic cues via calcium signaling

    Naser Nasrollahzadeh, Peyman Karami ... Dominique P Pioletti
    The loading-induced temperature evolution phenomenon in the knee joint modulates chondrogenic cells response to loading and accordingly opens a new paradigm that is coined 'thermo-mechanobiology'.

    P2Y1 purinergic receptor identified as a diabetes target in a small-molecule screen to reverse circadian β-cell failure

    Biliana Marcheva, Benjamin J Weidemann ... Joseph Bass
    A genetically sensitized drug screen identifies a circadian diabetes target and establishes a novel discovery pathway to treat β-cell failure.

    Excitatory neurotransmission activates compartmentalized calcium transients in Müller glia without affecting lateral process motility

    Joshua M Tworig, Chandler J Coate, Marla B Feller
    During development, lateral processes of retinal Müller glia are highly motile, and this motility persists when retinal waves and calcium transients are blocked, suggesting that Müller glial morphology is established independent of neuronal activity.

    Endothelial pannexin 1–TRPV4 channel signaling lowers pulmonary arterial pressure in mice

    Zdravka Daneva, Matteo Ottolini ... Swapnil K Sonkusare
    Endothelial pannexin 1-P2Y2 purinergic receptor-TRPV4 channel signaling, facilitated by caveolin-1, is a novel pathway for lowering pulmonary arterial pressure.

    Activity-dependent regulation of mitochondrial motility in developing cortical dendrites

    Catia AP Silva, Annik Yalnizyan-Carson ... Christian Lohmann
    Naturally occurring activity in the developing brain regulates mitochondrial motility such that mitochondria stop at active synapses, which is probably a fundamental process in brain wiring.

    Matriptase activation of Gq drives epithelial disruption and inflammation via RSK and DUOX

    Jiajia Ma, Claire A Scott ... Tom J Carney
    The serine protease Matriptase orchestrates simultaneous epithelial cell motility and inflammation in pathological states through respective activation of the MAPK pathway and generation of hydrogen peroxide.

    ATP activation of peritubular cells drives testicular sperm transport

    David Fleck, Lina Kenzler ... Marc Spehr
    Purinergic signaling controls mammalian sperm transport.

    Dichotomous role of the human mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+/Li+ exchanger NCLX in colorectal cancer growth and metastasis

    Trayambak Pathak, Maxime Gueguinou ... Mohamed Trebak
    Colorectal tumors down-regulate the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+/Li+ exchanger (NCLX) to alter mitochondrial Ca2+ signaling and initiate transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming that drives tumor chemo-resistance and metastasis.
