In this study, the role of de-palmitoylation of tissue factor (TF) in the decryption of its activity was explored. TF-tGFP constructs were prepared by mutagenesis-substitution at Cys245 to prevent or mimic palmitolyation. Additionally, to reduce TF d...

Factor VIIa regulates the level of cell-surface tissue factor through separate but cooperative mechanisms (2021)
Journal Article
Madkhali, Y., Rondon, A. M., Featherby, S., Maraveyas, A., Greenman, J., & Ettelaie, C. (2021). Factor VIIa regulates the level of cell-surface tissue factor through separate but cooperative mechanisms. Cancers, 13(15), Article 3718. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers13153718

Procoagulant activity of tissue factor (TF) in response to injury or inflammation is accompanied with cellular signals which determine the fate of cells. However, to prevent excessive signalling, TF is rapidly dissipated through release into microves...

Adaptive study design to assess effect of TRPV4 inhibition in patients with chronic cough (2021)
Journal Article
Ludbrook, V. J., Hanrott, K. E., Kreindler, J. L., Marks-Konczalik, J. E., Bird, N. P., Hewens, D. A., …Smith, J. (2021). Adaptive study design to assess effect of TRPV4 inhibition in patients with chronic cough. ERJ Open Research, 7(3), Article 00269-2021. https://doi.org/10.1183/23120541.00269-2021

Objective Airway sensory nerves involved in the cough reflex are activated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) agonism of P2X purinoceptor 3 (P2X3) receptors. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel activation causes ATP release from air...

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2021, Article 6518221. https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6518221

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are a class of newly introduced antidiabetic medications that potentially lower blood glucose by several molecular pathways. DPP-4 inhibitors are the other type of novel antidiabetic medications whic...

The Cough Reflex: The Janus of Respiratory Medicine (2021)
Journal Article
Sykes, D. L., & Morice, A. H. (2021). The Cough Reflex: The Janus of Respiratory Medicine. Frontiers in Physiology, 12, Article 684080. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2021.684080

In clinical practice, we commonly face adversity when encountering dysfunction of the cough reflex. Similar to ancient Roman deity Janus, it often presents with one of two opposing “faces”. Continual aberrant activation of the cough reflex, also know... Read More about The Cough Reflex: The Janus of Respiratory Medicine.
