Putative chemosensory receptors are differentially expressed in the sensory organs of male and female crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Chemosensation is a critical signalling process for all organisms and is achieved through the interaction between chemosensory receptors and their ligands.

Alginate from seaweed and microbes: Sources, green extraction, functional properties, and food applications

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Alginate, a renewable polysaccharide produced by brown seaweeds and selected bacterial species, has gained significant attention due to its tunable gelation behavior, biocompatibility, and wide utility in food, biomedical, and packaging applications.

Tannic Acid Mitigates Monosodium Glutamate‐Induced Cortical Damage by Modulating Synaptic and Calcium‐Related Gene and Protein Expression

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurotoxicity induced by excessive glutamatergic signaling is associated with synaptic dysfunction, calcium imbalance, and oxidative stress, which are key molecular events implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer, may exert neurotoxic effects, particularly on synaptic integrity ...

GABAA receptors: post-synaptic co-localization and cross-talk with other receptors

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), and importantly contribute to the functional regulation of the nervous system. Several studies in the last few decades

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Proteomic Profiling of Primary Hippocampal Neurons Reveals Noncanonical GFAP Expression and Metabolic Adaptations in Glia‐Free Culture

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Commercial permethrin elicits chemoreceptive responses on different Anopheles gambiae sensory appendages

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

Multimodal targets of (‐)‐α‐thujone mediating avoidance behavior of a stored‐products pest, Tribolium castaneum, in response to irritant stimuli

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We identified four kinds of target molecules against (‐)‐α‐thujone associating avoidance behavior in Tribolium castaneum, indicating multimodality. Abstract BACKGROUND The reciprocal evolutionary processes among phytophagous insects and host plants involve host shift in the herbivorous insects in response to defense chemicals, such as plant‐derived ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.
