Studying the function of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in Drosophila humoral immunity

, 2023
Acetylcholine (ACh) is one the major neurotransmitters, whose role in mediating synaptic interactions between neurons in the central nervous system in vertebrates and invertebrates is well characterized.

New approaches to identify interactors of MuSK, a receptor tyrosine kinase required for the formation of the nerve-muscle synapse [PDF]

, 2006
Efficient synaptic transmission requires a high local specialization of pre- and postsynaptic cells. At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), these specializations include aggregates of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs).

Clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of heterozygous NPC1 carriers

JIMD Reports, 2019
Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) is an uncommon lysosomal storage disorder, which is characterized neuropathologically by cholinergic dysfunction and presents clinically with a broad series of neurological signs and symptoms.

Critical Period Regulation by Thyroid Hormones: Potential Mechanisms and Sex-Specific Aspects

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Adequate perinatal levels of thyroid hormones (THs) are required for normal brain function and development. Studies in non-mammalian species suggest that TH might be involved in the regulation of critical periods (CPs) of heightened plasticity.

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Gabapentinoids‐duloxetine combination therapy for chronic pain: A mechanism oriented rational to bridge theoretical knowledge and real life setting

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic pain represents a complex debilitating condition that extends beyond the protective function of physiological pain, often persisting as an independent disease entity. Chronic primary and secondary pain syndromes reflect a multifaceted continuum involving nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic mechanisms.

A Novel Patient‐Specific Landmark‐Guided Approach for Intramuscular Botulinum Neurotoxin Injections Into the Rotator Cuff: A Cadaveric Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) causes chronic shoulder pain. Supraspinatus and infraspinatus, rotator cuff muscles innervated by the suprascapular nerve, are commonly affected. Intramuscular botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections near motor points (i.e., visible nerve branch entry sites used as a proxy for motor endplates) are an effective ...
