A Thermodynamic Model for Receptor Clustering [PDF]

, 1999
Intracellular signaling often arises from ligand-induced oligomerization of cell surface receptors. This oligomerization or clustering process is fundamentally a cooperative behavior between near-neighbor receptor molecules; the properties of this cooperative process clearly affects the signal transduction.

The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]

EPTCS 125, 2013, pp. 37-52, 2013
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

Quantitative Analysis of Fluorescent Sensor Arrays

Analysis &Sensing, Accepted Article.
Fluorescent sensor arrays address the limitations of a single sensor by leveraging multiple sensing elements to generate unique response patterns for each of the analyte of interest. This approach has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying and analysing intricate chemical and biological environments using various multivariate analytical tools such ...

Hippocampal histamine receptors and conflictive exploration in the rat: studies using the elevated asymmetric plus-maze

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
The possible role of histamine receptors in the hippocampal formation on the exploratory motivation and emotionality of the rat was studied. An elevated asymmetric plus-maze composed of 4 different arms (no walls, single high wall, high and low walls and

High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex [PDF]

Physiological Reports, 30th Dec. 2016, Vol. 4 no. e13051, 2016
NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability. There are different NMDA receptor subtypes which differ in their single-channel conductance.

Stimulus specificity of the generation of leukotrienes by dog mastocytoma cells. [PDF]

, 1983
Isolated dog mastocytoma cells sensitized with dog anti-ragweed IgE and challenged with ragweed antigen or incubated with ionophore A23187 or the carboxy-terminal dodecapeptide of platelet factor 4, PF4(59-70), release histamine and concurrently generate

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).
