Monkey adrenal chromaffin cells express α6β4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that contain α6 and β4 subunits have been demonstrated functionally in human adrenal chromaffin cells, rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, and on noradrenergic terminals in the hippocampus of adolescent mice.

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

MiR-124 is differentially expressed in derivatives of the sympathoadrenal cell lineage and promotes neurite elongation in chromaffin cells [PDF]
, 2016 The neural-crest-derived sympathoadrenal cell lineage gives rise to sympathetic neurons and to endocrine chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Both cell types express a largely overlapping set of genes, including those coding for the molecular ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Somatostatin binds to a G‐protein‐coupled receptor to inhibit the release of catecholamine from chromaffin cells. This action has no impact on Ca2+ levels and is similar for Ca2+ entry through voltage‐gated Ca2 channels and for Ca2+ mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Primary culture of bovine chromaffin cells [PDF]
Nature Protocols, 2007 This protocol describes the primary culture of individual chromaffin cells derived by enzymatic digestion from the adrenal medulla of the bovine adrenal gland. Since the late 1970s, such cells have provided a useful model system to study neurotransmitter biosynthesis, storage and release in the catecholaminergic system. The protocol can be divided into

The light chain of tetanus toxin inhibits calcium-dependent vasopressin release from permeabilized nerve endings [PDF]
, 1992 The effects of tetanus toxin and its light and heavy chain subunits on vasopressin release were investigated in digitonin-permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals isolated from the neural lobe of the rat pituitary gland.

Persistence of quantal synaptic vesicle recycling in virtual absence of dynamins
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Figure depicts the key finding from this study. While loss of all dynamins severely debilitates synaptic vesicle retrieval following repetitive activity, retrieval and recycling of individual synaptic vesicles following spontaneous fusion or sparse stimulation are minimally affected.
