Purinergic keratinocyte-to-sensory neuron signaling is a ubiquitous amplification mechanism that is required for normal mechanical, cold, and heat sensation in vivo.
Goblet cells secrete mucins—which are key components of mucus—in a process that is regulated by calcium ions, which enter the goblet cells via a mechanism involving a channel protein called TRPM5.
Cross-species multiomics network modeling revealed tissue-specific regulatory genes, pathways, and networks shared between mouse and human or unique to each species for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.

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'.
The feedback inhibition of T-type calcium channels by intracellular calcium provides new avenues to better decipher the roles of these low-voltage-activated channels in the fine control of calcium signaling events in physiology and pathophysiology.

The identification of 31 neuropeptide GPCRs in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis provides a rich resource to study peptidergic signaling in cnidarians and suggests that cnidarian and bilaterian peptidergic systems diversified independent from each other from a few ancestral systems.
