Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

Untangling direct and domain-mediated interactions between nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in DHA-rich membranes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) self-associates to give rise to rapid muscle movement. While lipid domains have maintained nAChR aggregates in-vitro, their specific roles in nAChR clustering are currently unknown. In the present study, we carried out coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations (CG-MD)

Arachidonic Acid as a Possible Negative Feedback Inhibitor of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors on Neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Neuronal acetylcholine receptors, being highly permeable to calcium, are likely to regulate calcium-dependent events in neurons. Arachidonic acid is a membrane-permeant second messenger that can be released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipases ...

Utilizing Caenorhabditis Elegans as a Rapid and Precise Model for Assessing Amphetamine‐Type Stimulants: A Novel Approach to Evaluating New Psychoactive Substances Activity and Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses Caenorhabditis elegans to assess the activity of amphetamine‐type stimulants (ATS) and their analogs. The research highlights the roles of dopamine and serotonin pathways, distinguishes chiral forms of ATS, and identifies structure‐activity relationships. These findings provide a rapid and cost‐effective model for evaluating the effects

Manipulation of Chemistry and Biology with Visible Light Using Tetra‐ortho‐Substituted Azobenzenes and Azonium Ions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Tetra‐ortho‐Azobenzenes (TOABs) in broad daylight: in recent years, TOAB photoswitches became indispensable tools for all‐visible‐light manipulation of chemistry, biology and materials. This review explores their unique photochemical properties, design and synthetic approaches, offering support in choosing a TOAB for a given application.

The distribution of charged amino acid residues and the Ca(2+) permeability of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: a predictive model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are cation-selective ligand-gated ion channels exhibiting variable Ca(2+) permeability depending on their subunit composition.

In Vivo Cytosolic Delivery of Biomolecules into Neurons for Super‐Resolution Imaging and Genome Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The N1 peptide specifically targets neurons, enabling cytosolic delivery of fluorescent dyes and proteins for super‐resolution imaging and functional genetic modification. Abstract Efficient delivery of biomolecules into neurons has significant impacts on therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS) and fundamental neuroscience research.

N‐Insertion of Diazonium Salts Into Ketone Derivatives

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Diazonium salts insert into ketones and their silyl enol ethers through a sequence of α‐azenylation and ring expansion via an N‐iminoaziridinium species. Coupled with an efficient N‐N bond cleavage, this protocol offers a mild alternative to Beckmann rearrangements and a powerful tool for skeletal editing of ketones.
