Function and Regulation of the Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel Anoctamin 1 (TMEM16A)
Various human tissues express the calcium-activated chloride channel Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), also known as TMEM16A. ANO1 allows the passive chloride flux... -
Epithelial GPR35 protects from Citrobacter rodentium infection by preserving goblet cells and mucosal barrier integrity
Goblet cells secrete mucin to create a protective mucus layer against invasive bacterial infection and are therefore essential for maintaining...

Validation of TMEM16A Modulation as a Therapeutic Approach for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis: The Discovery of Novel TMEM16A Potentiators
The discovery of transmembrane member 16A (TMEM16A) as the molecular identity of Ca 2+-activated Cl− channels (CaCCs) has reignited interest in the... -
Oxidative stress and ROS-mediated cellular events in RSV infection: potential protective roles of antioxidants
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a member of the Pneumoviridae family, can cause severe acute lower respiratory tract infection in infants, young...
