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.

Implantable Self‐Powered Systems for Electrical Stimulation Medical Devices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this paper, the design strategy and clinical application of ISS are discussed in depth from four aspects: the design and optimization of the energy collection module, the selection and preparation of adaptive electrode materials, the innovation of system design strategy, and the biological effect of electrical stimulation of ISS.

Using the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Cell Line AmE‐711 to Evaluate Insecticide Toxicity
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 88-99, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the main contributors to poor productivity and elevated mortality of honey bee colonies globally is insecticide exposure. Whole‐organism and colony‐level studies have demonstrated the effects of insecticides on many aspects of honey bee biology and have also shown their interactions with pathogens.

Neurotransmitter regulation of neural development: acetylcholine and nicotinic receptors
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2002 Several neurotransmitter systems have been related to developmental processes during the past decade. In this review, we discuss the evidence that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors could have an additional function during development that may be ...

Cholesterol modulates acetylcholine receptor diffusion by tuning confinement sojourns and nanocluster stability [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Translational motion of neurotransmitter receptors is key for determining receptor number at the synapse and hence, synaptic efficacy. We combine live-cell STORM superresolution microscopy of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) with single-particle tracking, mean-squared displacement (MSD), turning angle, ergodicity, and clustering analyses to ...

Simultaneous Modeling of In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs (NDNBs) are clinically used to produce muscle relaxation during general anesthesia. This paper explores a suitable model structure to simultaneously describe in vivo and in vitro effects of three clinically used NDNBs, cisatracurium, vecuronium, and rocuronium. In particular, it is discussed how to reconcile

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Novel carbon‐11 labeled pyrimidine derivatives are developed as PET imaging probes for visualizing sigma‐1 receptors in the brain. [11C]CNY‐01 demonstrates superior brain uptake and binding specificity in both rodents and non‐human primates. The study reveals decreased sigma‐1 receptor expression in Alzheimer's disease, offering a promising tool for ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 71-87, January 2023., 2023 Abstract For the majority of developed adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), the taxonomic domain of applicability (tDOA) is typically narrowly defined with a single or a handful of species. Defining the tDOA of an AOP is critical for use in regulatory decision‐making, particularly when considering protection of untested species.

Cortical credit assignment by Hebbian, neuromodulatory and inhibitory plasticity [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The cortex learns to make associations between stimuli and spiking activity which supports behaviour. It does this by adjusting synaptic weights. The complexity of these transformations implies that synapses have to change without access to the full error information, a problem typically referred to as "credit-assignment".

Newcomb-Benford Law in Neuromuscular Transmission: Validation at Hyperkalemic Conditions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Recently, we demonstrated the validity of anomalous numbers law, known as Newcomb-Benford's law, at the mammalian neuromuscular transmission, considering different extracellular calcium concentrations arXiv:2002.01986. The present work continues to examine how alterations in extracellular solution modulate the first digit law in the context of the ...
