MODULATION OF DEFENSIVE REFLEX CONDITIONING IN SNAILS BY SEROTONIN

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
We studied the role of serotonin in the mechanisms of learning in terrestrial snails. To produce a serotonin deficit, the neurotoxic analogues of serotonin, 5,6- or 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6/5,7-DHT) were used.

Cromakalim (BRL 34915) restores in vitro the membrane potential of depolarized human skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]

, 1989
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915), a potent drug from a new class of drugs characterized as K+ channel openers, on the electrical activity of human skeletal muscle.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Dynamic Theory of Membrane Potentials

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2010
An accurate understanding of the dynamics of membrane potential formation underpins modern electrophysiology and much of cell biochemistry. Computer simulations using a Nernst-Planck-Poisson (NPP) finite difference method are used to model the dynamic evolution of a series of membrane systems in which two reservoirs of electrolyte solution are ...

Lipophilic Cations Rescue the Growth of Yeast under the Conditions of Glycolysis Overflow

Biomolecules, 2020
Chemicals inducing a mild decrease in the ATP/ADP ratio are considered as caloric restriction mimetics as well as treatments against obesity. Screening for such chemicals in animal model systems requires a lot of time and labor. Here, we present a system

Oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface [PDF]

, 2008
A solid-state cell is used to study the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface. The catalyst/membrane interface exhibits improved performance in comparison to a catalyst/aqueous sodium hydroxide interface.

Membrane potential shapes regulation of dopamine transporter trafficking at the plasma membrane

Nature Communications, 2016
The dopaminergic system is essential for cognitive processes, including reward, attention and motor control. In addition to DA release and availability of synaptic DA receptors, timing and magnitude of DA neurotransmission depend on extracellular DA ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

The membrane dipole potential in a total membrane potential model. Applications to hydrophobic ion interactions with membranes

Biophysical Journal, 1986
The total potential energy profile for hydrophobic ion interactions with lipid bilayers can be written as the sum of four terms: the electrical Born, image and dipole contributions, and a neutral energy term. We introduce a specific model for the membrane dipole potential, treating it as a two-dimensional array of point dipoles located near each ...

Attempts to retreat from a dead-ended long capillary by backward swimming in Paramecium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
We have observed how the ciliate Paramecium attempts to retreat from the dead-end of a long capillary that is too narrow for turning. After many trial-and-error episodes of short-term backward swimming (SBS), which is the conventional avoidance behavior ...
