Astroglial Glutamate Signaling and Uptake in the Hippocampus

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Astrocytes have long been regarded as essentially unexcitable cells that do not contribute to active signaling and information processing in the brain. Contrary to this classical view, it is now firmly established that astrocytes can specifically respond

Ambient but not local lactate underlies neuronal tolerance to prolonged glucose deprivation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Neurons require a nearly constant supply of ATP. Glucose is the predominant source of brain ATP, but the direct effects of prolonged glucose deprivation on neuronal viability and function remain unclear.

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Crystal structure of \u3cem\u3ecis\u3c/em\u3e-2-(2-carboxycyclopropyl)-glycine (CCG-III) monohydrate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The title compound, C6H9NO4·H2O [systematic name: (αR,1R,2S)-rel-α-amino-2-carb­oxy­cyclo­propane­acetic acid monohydrate], crystallizes with two organic mol­ecules and two water mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit.

SIRT4 positively regulates autophagy via ULK1, but independently of HDAC6 and OPA1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells expressing SIRT4 (H161Y), a catalytically inactive mutant of the sirtuin SIRT4, fail to upregulate LC3B‐II and exhibit a reduced autophagic flux under stress conditions. Interestingly, SIRT4(H161Y) promotes phosphorylation of ULK1 at S638 and S758 that are associated with inhibition of autophagy initiation.

Glutamate-mediated blood-brain barrier opening. implications for neuroprotection and drug delivery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective anatomical and functional interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction is common in most brain disorders and is associated with disease course and delayed ...

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Generation of directional selectivity by individual thin dendrites in neocortical pyramidal neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Patterned 2-photon glutamate uncaging and local GABA iontophoresis were used to test, in brain slices, whether basal and oblique dendrites possess the biophysical machinery to contribute to the directional selectivity exhibited by many sensory ...

Ammonia toxicity: from head to toe? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ammonia is diffused and transported across all plasma membranes. This entails that hyperammonemia leads to an increase in ammonia in all organs and tissues.
