Reactive astrocytes release various molecules, which play a role in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. (1) Gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), ATP, and D‐serine, are secreted by vesicular exocytosis. In addition, astrocytes can also release ATP and glutamate through (2) P2X7Rs, (3) connexin‐43 (Cx43 ...

Mechanism and Prevention of Hyperbaric Oxygen Convulsions [PDF]
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) proves vital in saving lives by elevating the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2). However, HBOT may also have toxic effects, including lung and retinal damage (peripheral HBOT toxicity), muscle spasms and violent myoclonic convulsions (CNS HBOT toxicity), which may even lead to death if left untreated.

Penta‐ALFA‐Tagged Substrates for Self‐Labelling Tags Allow Signal Enhancement in Microscopy
A pentaALFA peptide may be reacted with a SNAP‐ or HaloTag and allows for signal enhancement using fluorescently labelled nanobodies. Tagged and peptide/nanobody treated cell surface receptors give generally higher signal intensity using fluorescence microscopy and are amenable for stimulated emission by depletion (STED) super‐resolution imaging ...

A Molecular Communication Perspective of Alzheimer's Disease: Impact of Amyloid Beta Oligomers on Glutamate Diffusion in the Synaptic Cleft [PDF]
Molecular communication (MC) within the synaptic cleft is vital for neurotransmitter diffusion, a process critical to cognitive functions. In Alzheimer's Disease (AD), beta-amyloid oligomers (A$\beta$os) disrupt this communication, leading to synaptic dysfunction.

Rationale Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) catalyzes the hydrolysis of N‐acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) to yield glutamate (Glu) and N‐acetylaspartate (NAA). Inhibition of GCPII has been shown to remediate the neurotoxicity of excess Glu in a variety of cell and animal disease models.
