Ionotropic stress and integrin: another link to myocardial remodeling.
Cardiac remodeling is an adaptive response to chronically increased wall stress. Adaptive remodeling of the myocardium, caused either by increased workload or ionotropic stress, requires mediators for the communication of cardiac cells with their surrounding extracellular matrix.1 Integrins are likely candidates that transduce increased mechanical force into the intracellular biochemical signal...
متن کاملThe talin-integrin interface under mechanical stress.
The major mechanical function of talin is to couple the β-integrin cytoplasmic tails to actin filaments. A variety of β-integrin tails contain conserved binding motifs for talin, and recent research shows that β-integrins differ both in affinity to talin and preferences for other cytoplasmic adaptor proteins. While talin predominantly links β3 integrins to actin filaments within the peripheral ...
متن کاملInternal stress drives slow glassy dynamics and quake-like behaviour in ionotropic pectin gels.
Frustrated, out-of-equilibrium materials have been of considerable interest for some time and continue to be some of the least understood materials. Recent measurements have shown that many gelled biopolymer materials display slow dynamics on timescales greater than one second, that are not accessible with typical methods, and are characteristic of glassy trapped systems. In this study we have ...
متن کاملIonotropic Crustacean Olfactory Receptors
The nature of the olfactory receptor in crustaceans, a major group of arthropods, has remained elusive. We report that spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, express ionotropic receptors (IRs), the insect chemosensory variants of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Unlike insects IRs, which are expressed in a specific subset of olfactory cells, two lobster IR subunits are expressed in most, if not all, l...
متن کاملIonotropic Glutamate Receptors and their Role in Neurological Diseases
Glutamate is extensively and relatively uniformly distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) and its effects mediated by two distinct groups of receptors including Ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Concentration of glutamate in the nervous system is much higher than in other tissues. Glutamate receptors play an important role in synaptic transmission, neural plasticity and n...
