Granule Cell Dispersion in Human Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Proteomics investigation of neurodevelopmental migratory pathways [PDF]
Granule cell dispersion (GCD) is a common pathological feature observed in the hippocampus of patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE). Pathomechanisms underlying GCD remain to be elucidated, but one hypothesis proposes aberrant reactivation of

Granule Cells in the CA3 Area [PDF]
A fundamental property of neuronal networks in Ammon's horn is that each area comprises a single glutamatergic cell population and various types of GABAergic neurons. Here we describe an exception to this rule, in the form of granule cells that reside within the CA3 area and function as glutamatergic nonprincipal cells with distinct properties.

Functional and structural properties of dentate granule cells with hilar basal dendrites in mouse entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures [PDF]
During postnatal development hippocampal dentate granule cells (GCs) often extend dendrites from the basal pole of their cell bodies into the hilar region. These so-called hilar basal dendrites (hBD) usually regress with maturation.

RNA Granules in Germ Cells [PDF]
"Germ granules" are cytoplasmic, nonmembrane-bound organelles unique to germline. Germ granules share components with the P bodies and stress granules of somatic cells, but also contain proteins and RNAs uniquely required for germ cell development. In this review, we focus on recent advances in our understanding of germ granule assembly, dynamics, and ...

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]
Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Enzymes of the Mast Cell Granule
Rat mast cell granules contain a spectrum of enzymes as established by histochemical techniques and subcellular fractionation. However, 35% of the beta-glucuronidase, 30% of the beta-D-galactosidase, 14% of the beta-hexosaminidase and all of the acid phosphatase is not available for immunologic release from purified rat serosal mast cells, suggesting ...

Polyphosphate granule biogenesis is temporally and functionally tied to cell cycle exit during starvation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Polyphosphate (polyP) granule biogenesis is an ancient and ubiquitous starvation response in bacteria. Although the ability to make polyP is important for survival during quiescence and resistance to diverse environmental stresses, granule genesis is ...

Hippocampal neurogenesis is not enhanced by lifelong reduction of glucocorticoid levels. [PDF]
Neurogenesis of dentate gyrus granule cells is generally considered to be negatively regulated by glucocorticoids. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to low plasma corticosteroid levels starting in the early postnatal period enhances granule cell ...

Iron granules in plasma cells. [PDF]
The curious and unusual finding of coarse iron granules in marrow plasma cells is reported in 13 patients, in whom the finding was incidental. In 10 of these patients there was known alcohol abuse and serious medical complications of that abuse. Previous reports of the finding are reviewed. Haematological data of the 13 patients are presented.

Neurogenesis Drives Stimulus Decorrelation in a Model of the Olfactory Bulb [PDF]
The reshaping and decorrelation of similar activity patterns by neuronal networks can enhance their discriminability, storage, and retrieval. How can such networks learn to decorrelate new complex patterns, as they arise in the olfactory system?
