Advanced Science, EarlyView.GLS1 is a novel contributor to arterial calcification. GLS1‐catalyzed glutamate exerts the promoting effects on osteogenic reprogramming in arteries. NMDAR, a glutamate receptor, is also activated and overexpressed during arterial calcification.

Estimating the synaptic current in a multi-conductance AMPA receptor model [PDF]
, 2010 A pre-synaptic neuron releases diffusing neurotransmitters such as glutamate that activate post-synaptic receptors. The amplitude of the post-synaptic current, mostly mediated by glutamatergic (AMPARs) receptors, is a fundamental signal that may generate an action potential.

Modulation of synaptic plasticity by glutamatergic gliotransmission: A modeling study [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, volume 2016 (2016), Article ID 7607924, 2016 Glutamatergic gliotransmission, that is the release of glutamate from perisynaptic astrocyte processes in an activity-dependent manner, has emerged as a potentially crucial signaling pathway for regulation of synaptic plasticity, yet its modes of expression and function in vivo remain unclear.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Overview of the regulation of intrinsic and extrinsic signals during neurodevelopment. Intrinsic genetic signals from NSCs, in conjunction with cues from microglia and blood vessels, collaboratively regulate the proliferation of NSCs, their fate determination, synaptogenesis, synaptic pruning, neuronal survival, and death, as well as communication ...

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017 Synaptic cell adhesion molecules represent important targets for neuronal activity-dependent proteolysis. Postsynaptic neuroligins (NLs) form trans-synaptic complexes with presynaptic neurexins (NXs). Both NXs and NLs are cleaved from the cell surface by

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]
eLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017 Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Glia, EarlyView.Comprehensive analysis of cortical astrocyte gene expression across the lifespan. Profiling dynamic changes of key astrocyte genes reveals functional shifts. Astrocytes contribute to gene‐length‐dependent transcription decline in the aging brain. ABSTRACT Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS).

Human Neuroepithelial Cells Express NMDA Receptors
BMC Neuroscience, 2003 L-glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, binds to both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. In certain parts of the brain the BBB contains two normally impermeable barriers: 1) cerebral endothelial barrier and 2) cerebral epithelial ...
