  Background: Variation in hospital management of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) may prolong length of stay, increasing the risk of hospital-acquired complications and ...

• Analysis of GPCR/ion channel interactions 

  Altier, Christophe; Zamponi, Gerald W. (Springer, Cumming School of Medicine, Physiology & Pharmacology, University of Calgary, 2011-01-01)

  Voltage-gated calcium channels are key regulators of calcium homeostasis in excitable cells. A number of cellular signaling pathways serve to fine tune calcium channel activity, including the activation of G protein-coupled ...

• All quiet on the neuronal front: NMDA receptor inhibition by prion protein 

  Steele, Andrew D. (The Rockefeller University Press, California Institute of Technology, 2008-04-28)

  The normal function of the prion protein (PrP)--the causative agent of mad cow or prion disease--has long remained out of reach. Deciphering PrP's function may help to unravel the complex chain of events triggered by PrP ...

• Reciprocal regulation between voltage-gated calcium channels and calmodulin 

  Zamponi, Gerald W. (Cellscience, Cumming School of Medicine, Physiology & Pharmacology, University of Calgary, 2008-06-01)

  Calcium entry via voltage gated calcium channels is subject to negative feedback regulation via a calcium dependent inactivation process. The features of calcium dependent inactivation vary with calcium channel subtype ...

• Protease-activated receptor 2 sensitizes the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 ion channel to cause mechanical hyperalgesia in mice 

  Grant, Andrew Douglas; Cottrell, Graeme S.; Amadesi, Silva; Trevisani, Marcello; Nicoletti, Paola; Materazzi, Serena; Altier, Christophe; Cenac, Nicolas S.; Zamponi, Gerald W.; Bautista-Cruz, Francisco; Lopez, Carlos Barajas; Joseph, Elizabeth K.; Levine, Jon David; Liedtke, Wolfgang B.; Vanner, Stephen J.; Vergnolle, Nathalie; Geppetti, Pierangelo; Bunnett, Nigel W. (Blackwell Publishing, Cumming School of Medicine, Physiology & Pharmacology, University of Calgary, http://olabout.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-826716.html, 2006-11-23)

  Exacerbated sensitivity to mechanical stimuli that are normally innocuous or mildly painful (mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia) occurs during inflammation and underlies painful diseases. Proteases that are generated ...

• Extended spectrum of idiopathic generalized epilepsies associated with CACNA1H functional variants 

  Heron, Sarah E.; Khosravani, Houman; Varela, Diego L.; Bladen, Chris; Williams, Tristiana C.; Newman, Michelle R.; Scheffer, Ingrid; Berkovic, Samuel F.; Mulley, John C.; Zamponi, Gerald W. (Wiley-Liss, Inc., Cumming School of Medicine, Physiology & Pharmacology, University of Calgary, http://olabout.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-826716.html, 2007-08-14)

  The relationship between genetic variation in the T-type calcium channel gene CACNA1H and childhood absence epilepsy is well established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the range of epilepsy syndromes for ...

• Epilepsy genetics: yet more exciting news 

  Lowenstein, Daniel Hays; Messing, Robert O. (Wiley-Liss, Inc., University of California, http://olabout.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-826716.html, 2007-12-01)

• Presynaptic calcium channels: structure, regulators, and blockers 

  Kisilevsky, Alexandra E.; Zamponi, Gerald W. (Springer, Cumming School of Medicine, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2008-01-06)

  The central and peripheral nervous systems express multiple types of ligand and voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), each with specific physiological roles and pharmacological and electrophysiological properties. The ...
