The exocyst complex controls multiple events in the pathway of regulated exocytosis

eLife
Eukaryotic cells depend on exocytosis to direct intracellularly synthesized material toward the extracellular space or the plasma membrane, so exocytosis constitutes a basic function for cellular homeostasis and communication between cells. The secretory

A Targeted Therapeutic Rescues Botulinum Toxin-A Poisoned Neurons [PDF]

, 2008
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), a Category A biothreat agent, is the most potent poison known to mankind. Currently no antidote is available to rescue poisoned synapses.

Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic

Functional Roles of Adenosine A2B and A3 Receptor Subtypes in the Bladder of Male Rats With A2B Receptor Deletion or Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the adenosine receptor (AR) mechanism underlying bladder outlet obstruction (BOO)‐related bladder dysfunction, we examined the expression level of AR subtypes in bladder tissues, and the effects of AR subtypes A2B & A3 modulation on bladder activity using male BOO rats, and Dahl rats with A2B receptor deletion.

Molecular determinants of exocytosis [PDF]

, 2002
Membrane fusion processes occur throughout the cell. Among those, exocytosis of secretory organelles is probably one of the fastest fusion events animal cells can achieve.

Ineffectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in prostate cancer: is it just a question of ‘‐mabs’?

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common type of neoplasm, currently treated with a variety of therapeutic agents. Although advances in treatment over the past decade have improved overall survival, patients with advanced PCa eventually progress from hormone‐sensitive PCa to metastatic castration‐resistant PCa.

Deficiency of high‐molecular‐weight von Willebrand factor mitigates thrombo‐complement injury in an LPS‐induced TMA‐like mouse model

VIEW, EarlyView.
Reduction of high‐molecular‐weight von Willebrand factor disrupts the platelet–complement amplification loop, attenuating microvascular thrombosis, complement deposition, endothelial injury, and organ damage in complement‐mediated thrombotic microangiopathy.

External Genital Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Mimicking Lichen Sclerosus

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although external genital cutaneous sarcoidosis is rare, it can closely resemble lichen sclerosus (LS) and delay diagnosis. We report a case of a 69‐year‐old woman with long‐standing vulvar symptoms and LS‐like pallor of the labia minora and clitoris. Biopsy showed non‐caseating granulomas with negative infection stains, consistent with vulvar

Basophils in Immunity: Activation Pathways, Roles in Allergy and AllergoOncology and Application of the Basophil Activation Test

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basophils, the least abundant leukocytes, are increasingly recognised as potent immunomodulators. Upon activation, they rapidly release preformed granule‐associated mediators including histamine and lipid mediators such as LTC4, while cytokine production occurs over a longer timescale, contributing to downstream immune responses.

Exocytosis in adrenal chromaffin cells

, 1993
Recent advances have led to an increased understanding of the Ca2+-signalling pathway leading to exocytosis in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Video-imaging studies have allowed the temporal and spatial aspects of the Ca2+ signal to be investigated in ...
