Cellular and Molecular Neuroendocrinology

Cellular and Molecular Neuroendocrinology

Laboratory is focused on the research of  membrane receptors and secretion in neuroendocrine cells, with a special emphasis on the interactions between plasma membrane electrical events and receptor-controlled pathways. The Laboratory investigates signaling pathways at the cellular and molecular levels, determines the manner in which hormones and neurotransmitters utilize calcium and cyclic nucleotides as intracellular messengers, and characterizes channels involved in electrical activity, calcium signaling, and release of hormones and neurotransmitters.

 

Main topics:

  • Purinergic signaling in neurons of suprachiasmatic and supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus.
  • Ligand-gated ion channels and electrical excitability of pituitary cells
  • Relationship between structure and function of purinergic P2X receptor-channels
