The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma System Regulates Ultraviolet B-Induced Prostaglandin E2 Production in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes by Raymond L. Konger, Kellie Clay Martel, Danielle Jernigan, Qiwei Zhang, Jeffrey B. Travers

“…However, in several epithelial cell lines, ultraviolet B (UVB) has been shown to induce the nonenzymatic production of oxidized phospholipids that act as PPARγ agonists. UVB is also a potent inducer of prostaglandin E2  (PGE2) production and COX-2 expression in keratinocytes and PPARγ is coupled to increased PGE2 production in other cell lines. …”

The Oxytocin-Oxytocin Receptor System and Its Antagonists as Tocolytic Agents by Nikolaos Vrachnis, Fotodotis M. Malamas, Stavros Sifakis, Efthymios Deligeoroglou, Zoe Iliodromiti

“…Oxytocin, a hormone involved in numerous physiologic processes, plays a central role in the mechanisms of parturition and lactation. It acts through its receptor, which belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily, while Gq/phospholipase C (PLC)/inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3) is the main pathway via which it exerts its action in the myometrium. …”

Increased BOLD Variability in the Parietal Cortex and Enhanced Parieto-Occipital Connectivity during Tactile Perception in Congenitally Blind Individuals by Andrea Leo, Giulio Bernardi, Giacomo Handjaras, Daniela Bonino, Emiliano Ricciardi, Pietro Pietrini

“…As BOLD variability reflects neural integration and processing efficiency, these cross-modal plastic changes in the parietal cortex, even if described in a limited sample, reinforce the hypothesis that this region may play an important role in processing nonvisual information in blind subjects and act as a hub in the cortico-cortical pathway from somatosensory cortex to the reorganized occipital areas.…”
