Exploring the genetics of irritable bowel syndrome: A GWA study in the general population and replication in multinational case-control cohorts [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: IBS shows genetic predisposition, but adequately powered gene-hunting efforts have been scarce so far. We sought to identify true IBS genetic risk factors by means of genome-wide association (GWA) and independent replication studies.

Abstract figure legend 6‐Methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate (6‐MSITC, hexaraphane), a wasabi sulfinyl compound, activates intracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA)‐mediated sequential HCO3−, Na+, H+ and Ca2+ transport through an activation axis involving HCO3−‐transporting solute carrier family 4 (SLC4As), the Na+–H+ exchanger (NHE), the Na+–Ca2+ exchanger

Neuroethology of olfactory-guided behavior and its potential application in the control of harmful insects [PDF]
Harmful insects include pests of crops and storage goods, and vectors of human and animal diseases. Throughout their history, humans have been fighting them using diverse methods.

Abstract figure legend Our study demonstrates that both GABA and glycine mediate inhibitory postsynaptic currents in the ventrolateral/ventromedial medulla (VLM/VMM) and increasing the activity of inhibitory synapses facilitates glycine release. We found that presympathetic VLM/VMM neurons receive glycinergic inputs, which release both glycine and GABA,

Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a large subfamily of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors present across Protostomia. While these receptors are most extensively studied for their roles in chemosensory detection, recent work has implicated two family ...

Abstract figure legend Astrocyte‐derived lactate enhances neuronal NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function and synaptic plasticity through a redox‐ and CaMKII‐dependent mechanism. Lactate enters neurons via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and is oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to pyruvate, generating NADH and increasing the intracellular NADH/NAD ...

Kaitocephalin (KCP) is a neuroprotective fungal metabolite with a unique scaffold of amino acids linked via C–C bonds. Genome‐transcriptome analyses identified its biosynthetic gene cluster (kpb cluster) in Eupenicillium shearii. LC‐MS/MS profiling identified four new KCP‐related compounds.

The recent publication of a centipede (Strigamia maritima) genome has revealed that most members of the chemosensory gene families of ionotropic (IR) and gustatory (GR) receptors do not have identifiable orthologs in insect species.

Abstract figure legend A, schematic illustration of the ventral aspect of an ex vivo preparation of the entire CNS from a neonatal rat subjected to a calibrated thoracic impact. The trauma induced a large depolarising injury potential (DIP, black trace) recorded from the L5 ventral root (VRrL5), which was markedly reduced by transient receptor ...

In insects, flight and sophisticated olfactory systems go hand in hand and are essential to survival and evolutionary success. Females of many Lepidopteran species have secondarily lost their flight ability, which may lead to changes in the olfactory ...
