Synthese, Assemblierung und intrazellulärer Transport von Mitgliedern der cys-loop- und P2X-Familie liganden-gesteuerter Ionenkanäle [PDF]

, 2006
The results presented here strongly indicate that ubiquitination of the recombinant human alpha1 GlyR at the plasma membrane of Xenopus oocytes is involved in receptor internalisation and degradation.

Pharmacological Characterisation of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Expressed in Human iPSC-Derived Neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent a potentially valuable tool for the characterisation of neuronal receptors and ion channels.

Progress in the Role of Mast Cells and Biomolecular Signals in the Mechanism of Postoperative Ileus: From Cellular Activation to Exploration of the Brain–Gut Axis

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postoperative ileus (POI) is a frequent complication after surgical procedures, predominantly manifesting as aberrant gastrointestinal motility, which markedly extends the duration of postoperative recovery for patients. The clinical duration of POI is typically modulated by intricate inflammatory cascades, with mast cells assuming a critical ...

Changes in conformation and subcellular distribution of alpha(4)beta(2) nicotinic acetylcholine receptors revealed by chronic nicotine treatment and expression of subunit chimeras [PDF]

, 2002
Chronic exposure to nicotine, as occurs during tobacco smoking, is one of several factors that have been reported to cause an upregulation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

Unique nicotinic responses are present in distinct subtypes of mouse medial prefrontal layer V pyramidal neurons

Scientific Reports
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine supports goal-directed cognitive functions via activation of its nicotinic and muscarinic classes of receptors within the prefrontal cortex.

Presynaptic Terminal Proteins and Nicotinic Receptors Are Depleted from Mouse Parasympathetic Ganglionic Junctions Paralysed with Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A

Toxins
Plasticity is fundamental to the development, strengthening, and maintenance of healthy synaptic connections and recovery from injury in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Yet, the processes involved are poorly understood.

Dystrophin Stabilizes α3- But Not α7-Containing Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes at the Postsynaptic Apparatus in the Mouse Superior Cervical Ganglion

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes were characterized in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of wild-type and dystrophin-lacking mdx mice.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: Therapeutic targets for novel ligands to treat pain and inflammation

Pharmacological Research, 2023
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been historically defined as ligand-gated ion channels and function as such in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recently, however, non-ionic signaling mechanisms via nAChRs have been demonstrated

Varenicline for cannabis use disorder: A randomized controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Although cannabis use is widespread and prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) is increasing, limited advancements have been made in CUD medication development. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of varenicline with medical management for reducing cannabis use in treatment‐seeking individuals with CUD ...
