Alterations in Intrinsic and Synaptic Properties of Hippocampal CA1 VIP Interneurons During Aging

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Learning and memory deficits are hallmarks of the aging brain, with cortical neuronal circuits representing the main target in cognitive deterioration. While GABAergic inhibitory and disinhibitory circuits are critical in supporting cognitive processes ...

Simulation and calculation of the contribution of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels to action potentials [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2016
The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel, which mediates the influx of cations, has an important role in action potential generation.

A Better Understanding of Atrial-like and Ventricular-like Action Potentials in Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes: The Underestimated Role of the L-Type Ca2+ Current

open access: yesCells
Human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) tend to show a mixed population of action potential (AP) types, including atrial-like (A-like) and ventricular-like (V-like) APs.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promote peripheral nerve repair via paracrine mechanisms

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) represent a promising young-state stem cell source for cell-based therapy. hUCMSC transplantation into the transected sciatic nerve promotes axonal regeneration and functional recovery.

SÍNDROME DE BRUGADA: DESDE LOS GENES HASTA LA TERAPÉUTICA / Brugada syndrome: from genes to therapeutics [PDF]

open access: yesCorSalud, 2010
The increasing number of ion channelopathies discovered in the heart, with fatal consequences, implies that the specialists involved in the management of these patients must strive to reach a better understanding of basic cardiac electrophysiology.

Biophysical Properties of Somatic and Axonal Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Spiking activities of midbrain dopaminergic neurons are critical for key brain functions including motor control and affective behaviors. Voltage-gated Na+ channels determine neuronal excitability and action potential (AP) generation. Previous studies on

Glutamate Imaging Reveals Multiple Sites of Stochastic Release in the CA3 Giant Mossy Fiber Boutons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
One of the most studied central synapses which have provided fundamental insights into cellular mechanisms of neural connectivity is the “giant” excitatory connection between hippocampal mossy fibers (MFs) and CA3 pyramidal cells.

Cardiac Electrophysiological Effects of Light-Activated Chloride Channels

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
During the last decade, optogenetics has emerged as a paradigm-shifting technique to monitor and steer the behavior of specific cell types in excitable tissues, including the heart.

Real-Time In Vivo Imaging of Mouse Left Ventricle Reveals Fluctuating Movements of the Intercalated Discs

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Myocardial contraction is initiated by action potential propagation through the conduction system of the heart. It has been thought that connexin 43 in the gap junctions (GJ) within the intercalated disc (ID) provides direct electric connectivity between
