Abstract Objectives This study sought to evaluate proteomic, metabolomic, and immune signatures in the cerebrospinal fluid of individuals with Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD). Methods A prospective case–control study comparing proteomic, metabolomic, and immune profiles in individuals with DSRD was performed.

AMPA and Kainate Receptors Each Mediate Excitotoxicity in Oligodendroglial Cultures
Recent studies indicate that oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to excitotoxic insults mediated by glutamate receptors. The present study was carried out to characterize the type of glutamate receptors triggering cell death in optic nerve oligodendrocyte ...

P2X receptor trafficking in neurons is subunit specific [PDF]
P2X receptors within the CNS mediate excitatory synaptic transmission and also act presynaptically to modulate neurotransmitter release. We have studied the targeting and trafficking of P2X4 and P2X2 receptors heterologously expressed in cultured ...

The relationship between proteome size, amino acid composition, and lifespan across 276 vertebrate species is investigated. Proteome size correlates positively with lifespan in mammals but negatively in birds and fish. While proteome composition varies among classes, no single amino acid frequency correlates with lifespan.

Critical appraisal on mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Amyloid plaques deposit on neurons in case of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondria play a vital role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to formation of mPTP, alteration of complexes 1,3 and 4, deficits in bioenergetics with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis. Abstract It is widely recognized that Alzheimer's disease (

Glutamate Receptor Signaling in Retina Müller Cells: Plausible Role in Neurodegeneration
The retinal network relies on glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the visual cycle. Glutamate transactions are carried out by an array of distinct receptors and transporters distributed across both pre- and post-synaptic ...

THE POSSIBILITY OF ADMINISTRATION OF GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS ANTAGONISTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE [PDF]
Parkinson's disease is the slow-progressing chronic neurodegenerative disease. It caused by the progressive destruction and death of neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine, primarily in the substantia nigra and also in other parts of the ...

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Orchestrates Neuronal Regulation Of The Astrocytic Glutamate-Releasing Mechanism System x\u3csub\u3ec\u3c/sub\u3e\u3csup\u3e−\u3c/sup\u3e [PDF]
Glutamate signaling is achieved by an elaborate network involving neurons and astrocytes. Hence, it is critical to better understand how neurons and astrocytes interact to coordinate the cellular regulation of glutamate signaling.

Regulating Protein Immobilization During Cell‐Free Protein Synthesis in Hyaluronan Microgels
Bifunctional microgels carrying a linear DNA template and Ni2+‐activated NTA moieties are used as platform for cell‐free protein synthesis and in situ protein immobilization. By varying the concentration of NTA moieties in the microgels, the amount of GFP‐His immobilized inside the microgel and released to the microgel environment can be regulated ...
