Article Abstract
Calcium (Ca) signaling as the primary intracellular second messenger orchestrates a myriad of physiological processes. Maintaining Ca homeostasis relies on Ca channels, pumps, exchangers, and buffers. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPases (SERCAs or ATP2A) encoded by ATP2A1, ATP2A2, or ATP2A3 are primary Ca pumps localized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) that actively sequester Ca from the cytoplasm back to the ER/SR, thereby preventing the detrimental overload of cytoplasmic Ca concentration. Recent studies have highlighted the significant roles and the underlying mechanisms of SERCAs in non-excitatory cells such as those within epithelial, adipose, immune, and reproductive systems or tissues. This article aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the functional characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of the SERCA family, with a particular focus on the latest research concerning their roles and mechanisms in various non-excitatory cells and related cancers. This work will provide insight into understanding the Ca signaling regulatory networks mediated by SERCAs and their implications for the diagnosis and treatment of Ca dyshomeostasis-related diseases and propose potentially constructive suggestions for the direction of research around Ca signaling transductions, as well as guiding strategies for disease diagnosis, treatment, and drug development by targeting SERCAs.

Background: Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is non-excitatory electrical stimulation for improving cardiac function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CCM on autophagy and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes in a rabbit model of chronic heart failure (CHF) and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods: Thirty rabbits were randomised into the Sham, heart failure (HF) and CCM groups, and animals in all three groups were sacrificed after 16 weeks of ascending aortic constriction or sham surgery.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights that while excitatory amino acids like glutamate and aspartate are known to contribute to brain damage during ischemia, the impact of non-excitatory amino acids (like L-alanine and glycine) is not well understood, despite their potential role in worsening brain injuries.
- - Findings show that exposure to a combination of specific non-excitatory amino acids during transient hypoxia can cause irreversible neuronal damage, highlighting a new aspect of brain injury that needs further exploration.
- - The researchers suggest that the swelling of astrocytes due to these amino acids might activate certain channels that release excitotoxins, leading to further neuron damage, indicating that these mechanisms could be important for developing new treatments for conditions

Introduction: Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a medical device-based therapy delivering non-excitatory electrical stimulations to the heart to enhance cardiac function in heart failure (HF) patients. The lack of human in vitro tools to assess CCM hinders our understanding of CCM mechanisms of action. Here, we introduce a novel chronic (i.

The contribution of excitatory amino acids (AA) to ischemic brain injury has been widely described. In addition, we reported that a mixture of non-excitatory AA at plasmatic concentrations turns irreversible the depression of synaptic transmission caused by hypoxia. Here, we describe that the presence of seven non-excitatory AA (L-alanine, L-glutamine, glycine, L-histidine, L-serine, taurine, and L-threonine) during hypoxia provokes an irreversible neuronal membrane depolarization, after an initial phase of hyperpolarization.
