T-cell derived acetylcholine aids host defenses during enteric bacterial infection with Citrobacter rodentium. [PDF]
, 2019 The regulation of mucosal immune function is critical to host protection from enteric pathogens but is incompletely understood. The nervous system and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine play an integral part in host defense against enteric bacterial ...

Sex‐Specific Genetic Variants are Associated With Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundEndothelial dysfunction is an early stage of atherosclerosis. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with vascular dysfunction, cardiac events, and coronary artery remodeling.

Mammalian nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: from structure to function.
Physiological Reviews, 2009 The classical studies of nicotine by Langley at the turn of the 20th century introduced the concept of a "receptive substance," from which the idea of a "receptor" came to light.

Resolution of complex fluorescence spectra of lipids and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by multivariate analysis reveals protein-mediated effects on the receptor's immediate lipid microenvironment [PDF]
PMC Biophysics 2008, 1:6, 2009 Analysis of fluorescent spectra from complex biological systems containing various fluorescent probes with overlapping emission bands is a challenging task. Valuable information can be extracted from the full spectra, however, by using multivariate analysis (MA) of measurements at different wavelengths.

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]
, 2014 Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...

Spontaneous Lipid Binding to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor in a Native Membrane [PDF]
, 2021 The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and other pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are native to neuronal membranes with an unusual lipid composition. While it is well-established that these receptors can be significantly modulated by lipids, the underlying mechanisms have been primarily studied in model membranes with only a few ...
