Acetylcholine Receptors and Concanavalin A-Binding Sites on Cultured Xenopus Muscle Cells: Electrophoresis, Diffusion, and Aggregation [PDF]
, 1988 Using digitally analyzed fluorescence videomicroscopy, we have examined the behavior of acetylcholine receptors and concanavalin A binding sites in response to externally applied electric fields.

Relaxation measurements on the acetylcholine receptor. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1975 In Electrophorus electroplaques, the agonist-induced postsynaptic conductance depends on membrane potential. During steady exposure to agonists, after a voltage step the conductance relaxes on a millisecond time scale, exponentially approaching a new equilibrium value.

Multimodal Autonomic Biomarkers Predict Phenoconversion in Pure Autonomic Failure
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with autonomic failure without other neurological features. A third develop central neurological features, fulfilling criteria for multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body diseases (LBD), including Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies.

Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants [PDF]
, 2017 We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range,

Durability of Response to B‐Cell Maturation Antigen‐Directed mRNA Cell Therapy in Myasthenia Gravis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective We report the 12‐month follow‐up outcomes from a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04146051) evaluating Descartes‐08, a BCMA‐directed RNA chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (rCAR‐T) therapy for refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG).

Acetylcholine release and inhibitory interneuron activity in hippocampal CA1
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014 Acetylcholine release in the central nervous system (CNS) has an important role in attention, recall and memory formation. One region influenced by acetylcholine is the hippocampus, which receives inputs from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca ...

From ab initio quantum mechanics to molecular neurobiology: A cation-pi binding site in the nicotinic receptor [PDF]
, 1998 The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is the prototype ligand-gated ion channel. A number of aromatic amino acids have been identified as contributing to the agonist binding site, suggesting that cation-pi interactions may be involved in binding the ...

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.
