The P2X(7) receptor from Xenopus laevis: formation of a large pore in Xenopus oocytes.

abstract：:Natural freeze tolerance depends on cellular adaptations that address the multiple stresses imposed on cells during freezing. These adaptations preserve viability by suppressing energy-expensive cell processes in the frozen state. In this study, we explore the freeze-responsive expression of microRNA in hatchling pain...
