Abstract The TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) superfamily of cation channels is
remarkable in that it displays greater diversity in activation mechanisms and selectivities …

The microvascular endothelial cell monolayer localized at the critical interface between the
blood and vessel wall has the vital functions of regulating tissue fluid balance and supplying …

In electrically nonexcitable cells, Ca2+ influx is essential for regulating a host of kinetically
distinct processes involving exocytosis, enzyme control, gene regulation, cell growth and …

The inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) are a family of Ca2+ release
channels localized predominately in the endoplasmic reticulum of all cell types. They …

The transient receptor potential (TRP) protein superfamily consists of a diverse group of
cation channels that bear structural similarities to Drosophila TRP. TRP channels play …

The TRP (“transient receptor potential”) family of ion channels now comprises more than 30
cation channels, most of which are permeable for Ca2+, and some also for Mg2+. On the …

Endothelial cells (EC) form a unique signal-transducing surface in the vascular system. The
abundance of ion channels in the plasma membrane of these nonexcitable cells has raised …

The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the
blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in …

In this review we compile and discuss the published plethora of cell biological effects which
are ascribed to electric fields (EF), magnetic fields (MF) and electromagnetic fields (EMF). In …

Hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors give rise to calcium entry via receptor-
activated cation channels that are activated downstream of phospholipase C activity …
