Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 It is becoming increasingly clear that neurotransmitters impose direct influence on regulation of the immune process. Recently, a simple but sophisticated neuroendocrine–immune (NEI) system was identified in oyster, which modulated neural immune response

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Prevents the Downregulation of the Cholinergic Phenotype in Axotomized Motoneurons of the Adult Rat [PDF]
, 2018 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was initially characterized by its activity on the vascular system. However, there is growing evidence indicating that VEGF also acts as a neuroprotective factor, and that its administration to neurons suffering ...

Regulation of the Synthesis of Choline- O -Acetyltransferase and Thymidylate Synthetase in Mouse Neuroblastoma in Cell Culture [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1971 The specific activity of mouse neuroblastoma choline- O -acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6.) increased 5.7-fold when the rate of cell division was restricted (as compared to cells kept rapidly dividing for 9 days); the specific activity of mouse neuroblastoma thymidylate synthetase increased 2.4-fold when nondividing ...

Axons Giving Rise to the Palisade Endings of Feline Extraocular Muscles Display Motor Features [PDF]
, 2013 Palisade endings are nerve specializations found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of mammals, including primates. They have long been postulated to be proprioceptors. It was recently demonstrated that palisade endings are cholinergic and that in monkeys

Altered muscarinic and nicotinic receptor densities in cortical and subcortical brain regions in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
, 1993 Muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors and choline acetyltransferase activity were studied in postmortem brain tissue from patients with histopathologically confirmed Parkinson's disease and matched control subjects.

Enzyme Regulation in Neuroblastoma Cells [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1972 Acetylcholinesterase from mouse neuroblastoma C‐1300 was purified 733 times by affinity chromatography. Antibodies against the purified enzyme were used to select clones with a 100‐times‐lower acetylcholinesterase activity than in an unselected clone.

Diurnal fluctuation in the number of hypocretin/orexin and histamine producing: Implication for understanding and treating neuronal loss. [PDF]
, 2017 The loss of specific neuronal phenotypes, as determined by immunohistochemistry, has become a powerful tool for identifying the nature and cause of neurological diseases. Here we show that the number of neurons identified and quantified using this method
