Ulrich C, Parker L, Lambert J, Baldwin L, Buxton I, Etezadi-Amoli N, et al.
Reprod Sci . 2025 Jan; 32(2):444-454. PMID: 39776427
Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) is a secreted zinc-dependent peptidase known for extracellular remodeling. MMP9 is elevated in tissues from women experiencing preterm labor, and previous research has shown that the...

Yun S, Mansurov V, Yang L, Yoon J, Leblanc N, Craviso G, et al.
Biophys J . 2024 Jun; 123(16):2537-2556. PMID: 38909279
Isolated bovine adrenal chromaffin cells exposed to single 2-, 4-, or 5-ns pulses undergo a rapid, transient rise in intracellular Ca mediated by Ca entry via voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCCs),...
3.
Del Carlo R, Reimche J, Moniz H, Hague M, Agarwal S, Brodie 3rd E, et al.
bioRxiv . 2023 Dec; PMID: 38106015
Seemingly unrelated traits often share the same underlying molecular mechanisms, potentially generating a pleiotropic relationship whereby selection shaping one trait can simultaneously compromise another. While such functional trade-offs are expected...

Akin E, Aoun J, Jimenez C, Mayne K, Baeck J, Young M, et al.
J Gen Physiol . 2023 Sep; 155(11). PMID: 37702787
Pulmonary arterial (PA) smooth muscle cells (PASMC) generate vascular tone in response to agonists coupled to Gq-protein receptor signaling. Such agonists stimulate oscillating calcium waves, the frequency of which drives...

Viola C, Gould T, Procacci N, Leblanc N, Zaklit J, Craviso G
PLoS One . 2023 Mar; 18(3):e0283736. PMID: 37000822
In studies exploring the potential for nanosecond duration electric pulses to serve as a novel modality for neuromodulation, we found that a 5 ns pulse triggers an immediate rise in...

Procacci N, Hastings R, Aziz A, Christiansen N, Zhao J, DeAngeli C, et al.
Glia . 2022 Dec; 71(4):926-944. PMID: 36479906
Non-myelinating Schwann cells (NMSC) play important roles in peripheral nervous system formation and function. However, the molecular identity of these cells remains poorly defined. We provide evidence that Kir4.1, an...

Jimenez C, Hawn M, Akin E, Leblanc N
Biochem Pharmacol . 2022 Oct; 206:115320. PMID: 36279919
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCC) provide a depolarizing stimulus to a variety of tissues through chloride efflux in response to a rise in internal Ca and voltage. One of these channels,...

Reimche J, Del Carlo R, Brodie Jr E, McGlothlin J, Schlauch K, Pfrender M, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2022 May; 31(14):3827-3843. PMID: 35596742
The repeated evolution of tetrodotoxin (TTX) resistance provides a model for testing hypotheses about the mechanisms of convergent evolution. This poison is broadly employed as a potent antipredator defence, blocking...

Yang L, Pierce S, Gould T, Craviso G, Leblanc N
Arch Biochem Biophys . 2022 Apr; 723:109252. PMID: 35436445
In whole-cell voltage clamped bovine adrenal chromaffin cells maintained at a holding potential of -70 mV, a single 5 ns, 5 MV/m pulse elicited an inward current carried mainly by...
