Abstract:
Could the difficulties that retailers face in creating a seamless, cross-channel experience be due to the fact that their stores and website activate such different central and peripheral routes to persuasion that perfect transferability between channels is not possible? By relying on a rigorous and innovative dual-step methodology, this study provides a solid support for research aimed at identifying other channel-related central and peripheral elements. Although perceptual structure of the two channels is very similar, the store and website have no central or peripheral dimension in common.

Abstract:
The development of pain symptoms in peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is associated with the upregulation of T-type Ca2+ channels (T-channels) in the soma of nociceptive DRG neurons. Moreover, a block of these channels in DRG neurons effectively reversed mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in animal diabetic models, indicating that T-channel functioning in these neurons is causally linked to PDN. However, no particular mechanisms relating the upregulation of T-channels in the soma of nociceptive DRG neurons to the pathological pain processing in PDN have been suggested. Here we have electro

Abstract:
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a typical symptom of peripheral nerve disorders, including painful neuropathy. The biological mechanisms that control ion channels are important for many cell activities and are also therapeutic targets. Disruption of the cellular mechanisms that govern ion channel activity can contribute to pain pathophysiology. The voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) is the most researched ion channel in terms of NP; however, VGSC impairment is detected in only <20% of painful neuropathy patients. Here, we discuss the potential role of the other peripheral ion channels involved in

Abstract:
Fetal to maternal blood flow matching in the placenta, necessary for optimal fetal blood oxygenation, may occur via hypoxic fetoplacental vasoconstriction (HFPV). We hypothesized that HFPV is mediated by K+ channel inhibition in fetoplacental vascular smooth muscle, as occurs in several other O2-sensitive tissues. With the use of an isolated human placental cotyledon perfused at a constant flow rate, we found that hypoxia reversibly increased perfusion pressure by >20%. HFPV was unaffected by cyclooxygenase or nitric oxide synthase inhibition. HFPV and 4-aminopyridine, an inhibitor of volta

1. In the present study we have taken advantage of the unique anatomy of visceral sensory neurons that enabled us to isolate and examine the role of calcium channel subtypes at the soma, central synaptic terminals, and peripheral sensory endings. 2. N-type calcium channels dominated somatic currents (60%), with lesser (16% and 12%) contributions from P- and L-type channels, respectively, in patch-clamped dispersed nodose neurons using toxins selective for each calcium channel subtype. 3. These toxins also blocked the release of neurotransmitters from these visceral synaptic terminals in a brai

Abstract:
The adipocyte hormone leptin was first recognized for its actions in the central nervous system to regulate energy homeostasis but has since been shown to have direct actions on peripheral tissues. In pancreatic β-cells leptin suppresses insulin secretion by increasing KATP channel conductance, which causes membrane hyperpolarization and renders β-cells electrically silent. However, the mechanism by which leptin increases KATP channel conductance had remained unresolved for many years following the initial observation. Recent studies have revealed that leptin increases surface abundance of KAT

Abstract:
In sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system, receptor potentials can be amplified by depolarizing Cl currents. In mammalian olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), this anion-based signal amplification results from the sequential activation of two distinct types of transduction channels: cAMP-gated Ca channels and Ca-activated Cl channels. The Cl current increases the initial receptor current about 10-fold and leads to the excitation of the neuron. Here we examine the activation mechanism of the Ca-dependent Cl channel. We focus on calmodulin, which is known to mediate Ca effects on various

Abstract:
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a severe clinical problem frequently associated with cisplatin use. Although its pathophysiology is poorly understood, it is known that kinin receptors and the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel play a significant role in the peripheral neuropathy induced by cisplatin in rodents. However, the role of signalling pathways downstream from B2 kinin receptors activation and sensitisation of the TRPA1 channel remains unknown in this model. The cisplatin-induced neuropathy model caused mechanical and cold allodynia in male Swiss mice.

Drosophila melanogaster has proven to be a good model for understanding the physiology of ion channels. We identified two novel Drosophila DEG/ ENaC proteins, Pickpocket (PPK) and Ripped Pocket (RPK). Both appear to be ion channel subunits. Expression of RPK generated multimeric Na+ channels that were dominantly activated by a mutation associated with neurodegeneration. Amiloride and gadolinium, which block mechanosensation in vivo, inhibited RPK channels. Although PPK did not form channels on its own, it associated with and reduced the current generated by a related human brain Na+ channel. R

The novel feature is a two quantum well/quantum dot channel n-SWSFET access transistor. The reduction in area with four-bit storage-per-cell increases the memory density and efficiency of the SRAM array.
