Neuronal gap junctions formed by connexin36 (Cx36) and chemical synapses share striking similarities in terms of plasticity. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), an enzyme known to induce memory formation at chemical synapses, has ...

CA1 long-term potentiation is diminished but present in hippocampal slices from alpha-CaMKII mutant mice [PDF]
Previous work has shown that mice missing the alpha-isoform of calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (alpha-CaMKII) have a deficiency in CA1 hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP).

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Studying CaMKII: Tools and standards
The Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a ubiquitous mediator of cellular Ca2+ signals with both enzymatic and structural functions. Here, we briefly introduce the complex regulation of CaMKII and then provide a comprehensive overview of the expanding toolbox to study CaMKII.

Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in the calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II B gene (CAMK2B) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, yet the mechanisms underlying cortical dysfunction remain largely unclear.

GABA\u3csub\u3eB\u3c/sub\u3e Receptors Couple to Gα\u3csub\u3eq\u3c/sub\u3e to Mediate Increases in Voltage-Dependent Calcium Current During Development [PDF]
Metabotropic GABAB receptors are known to modulate the activity of voltage-dependent calcium channels. Previously, we have shown that GABAB receptors couple to a non-Gi/o G-protein to enhance calcium influx through L-type calcium channels by activating ...

Abstract Objective The pathogenesis of epilepsy is closely associated with neuronal synaptic plasticity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate various biological processes by binding to specific sequences on target genes. This study employs bioinformatics, molecular dynamics, and experimental approaches to investigate the mechanism by which MiR‐30a‐5p treats

Abstract In recent years, the clinical treatment and symptom management of neurological disorders have faced significant challenges due to the high complexity of the nervous system's structure and function. Against this backdrop, physical stimulation techniques have emerged as a vital complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments and

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease characterized by chondrocyte dysfunction. In this study, we explored the function and mechanism of ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) in chondrocyte ferroptosis in OA. The USP7, TRPV1, collagen II, and GPX4 levels in knee joint tissue were detected using immunohistochemistry ...
