Did you know that some proteins can increase or *decrease* #CellMigration, depending on the cell type?

Check our review on how ion channels (#Pannexins) & #calciumsignaling regulate immune, non-immune & #cancer migration.

It all started when we wrote something with @palomi_rock
The intro was so good & had so much new data that we decided to make a 'short' review/update of pannexins in #immunecells, focus on cell migration.
But things got out of hand & we started to include more cell types ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Then, @LpzLpz_Tami joined to help with migration of immune cells, such as #DendriticCells, #Tcells, #Neutrophils, and to do the beautiful figures @BioRender ๐Ÿ˜
Next, @APalacio_s joined to bring a broader vision of migration's impact during neuroinflammation, senescence, etc

Endothelial-derived microvesicles play a pathogenic role in vascular #inflammation, causing #endothelial barrier dysfunction by impairing adherens junctions and activating #neutrophils

#Microvesicles (MV) are formed from the outward blebbing of the plasma membrane and carry a diverse cargo that regulate multiple processes.

During #inflammation these are produced by activated endothelial cells and released into the #circulation. TEM image of plasma MVs: (2/8) Image
In this study the authors investigated whether endothelial-derived MVs (EC-MVs) contribute to #vascular dysfunction during inflammation.

The authors used an animal model of #sepsis (CLP) and found that this increased EC-MV production (3/8) Image
