An in vivo biosensor for neurotransmitter release and in situ receptor activity. [PDF]
, 2010 Tools from molecular biology, combined with in vivo optical imaging techniques, provide new mechanisms for noninvasively observing brain processes. Current approaches primarily probe cell-based variables, such as cytosolic calcium or membrane potential ...

Equilibrium Properties of Mouse-Torpedo Acetylcholine Receptor Hybrids Expressed in Xenopus Oocytes [PDF]
, 1987 This study used messenger RNA encoding each subunit (α, β, γ and δ) of the nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor from mouse BC3H-1 cells and from Torpedo electric organ.

Beyond neurotransmission: acetylcholine in immunity and inflammation
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019 Acetylcholine (ACh) is best known as a neurotransmitter and was the first such molecule identified. ACh signalling in the neuronal cholinergic system has long been known to regulate numerous biological processes (reviewed by Beckmann and Lips).

Neuronal and Extraneuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Current Neuropharmacology, 2018 Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) belong to a super-family of Cys-loop ligand-gated ion chan-nels that respond to endogenous acetylcholine (ACh) or other cholinergic ligands.

Alpha9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and the treatment of pain [PDF]
, 2009 Chronic pain is a vexing worldwide problem that causes substantial disability and consumes significant medical resources. Although there are numerous analgesic medications, these work through a small set of molecular mechanisms.

Acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors
Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2019 This review provides a distillate of the advances in knowledge about the neurotransmitter functions of acetylcholine over the 50-year period between 1967 and 2017, together with incremental information about the cognate nicotinic and muscarinic ...

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]
, 2007 Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.

Cholinergic modulation of dopamine overflow in the rat neostriatum: A fast cyclic voltammetric study in vitro [PDF]
, 1994 Stimulus-evoked dopamine overflow in rat neostriatal slices was determined using fast cyclic voltammetry. The dopamine efflux induced by intrastriatal stimulation increased with stimulus intensity and was found to be enhanced by more than 100% upon ...
