Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]
Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

Plasticity of histamine H3 receptor expression and binding in the vestibular nuclei after labyrinthectomy in rat [PDF]
Background: In rat, deafferentation of one labyrinth (unilateral labyrinthectomy) results in a characteristic syndrome of ocular and motor postural disorders (e.g., barrel rotation, circling behavior, and spontaneous nystagmus). Behavioral recovery (e.g.,

Solubilization and Characterization of Histamine H1 receptors in brain. [PDF]
[3H]Doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant, binds with high affinity to guinea pig brain membranes with a drug specificity indicating an association with H1 histamine receptors. The [3H]doxepin binding site has been solubilized, with digitonin being the only detergent able to maintain specific binding after solubilization.

Histamine is a well-known inflammatory mediator, but how histamine induces angiogenesis remains poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrated a dose-dependent dynamic tube formation in the human endothelial cell line EA.hy926 in the presence ...

Large number of receptors may reduce cellular response time variation [PDF]
Cells often have tens of thousands of receptors, even though only a few activated receptors can trigger full cellular responses. Reasons for the overabundance of receptors remain unclear. We suggest that, in certain conditions, the large number of receptors results in a competition among receptors to be the first to activate the cell.

Histamine H1-receptors modulate somatostatin receptors coupled to the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase in the rat frontoparietal cortex [PDF]
Since exogenous histamine has been previously shown to increase the somatostatin (SS) receptor-effector system in the rat frontoparietal cortex and both histamine H1-receptor agonists and SS modulate higher nervous activity and have anticonvulsive ...

The Histamine H4 Receptor: From Orphan to the Clinic
The histamine H4 receptor (H4R) was first noted as a sequence in genomic databases that had features of a G-protein coupled receptor. This putative receptor was found to bind histamine consistent with its homology to other histamine receptors and thus ...

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.
