Journal ArticleDOI

Neural autoantibody profile of primary achalasia.

TL;DR: The serum profile of autoantibodies suggests an autoimmune basis for a subset of primary achalasia, and specifically targeting neuronal, glial, and muscle autoantigens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon monoxide activates human intestinal smooth muscle L-type Ca2+ channels through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

TL;DR: The data suggest that exogenous CO can activate native and heterologously expressed intestinal L-type Ca(2+) channels through a pathway that involves activation of NOS, increased NO, and cGMP levels, but not PKG, although the pathway appears to involve PKA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Mutation in Telethonin Alters Nav1.5 Function

TL;DR: Results suggest a new role for telethonin, namely that teleth onin is a sodium channel-interacting protein, which can alter Nav1.5 kinetics and may play a role in intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects in cGMP-PKG pathway contribute to impaired NO-dependent responses in hepatic stellate cells upon activation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NO affects HSC through cGMP-dependent and -independent pathways, and activating targets downstream from NO-cGMP in activated HSC may represent a novel therapeutic target for portal hypertension.
