Positive allosteric modulators of the a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor [PDF]

, 2010
L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and plays a fundamental role in the control of motor function, cognition and mood.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors: Phosphorylation and receptor signaling

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2007
AbstractMetabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play important roles in neurotransmission, neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neurological disorders. Recent studies have revealed a sophisticated interplay between mGluRs and protein kinases: activation of mGluRs regulates the activity of a number of kinases, and direct phosphorylation of ...

The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

, 2008
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

The calcium-sensing receptor as a regulator of cellular fate in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]

, 2013
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) belongs to the evolutionarily conserved family of plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early studies identified an essential role for the CaSR in systemic calcium homeostasis through its ability to ...

Regulatory T Cells and Nanomaterials: Dual Perspectives in Therapeutics and Immunomodulation

Small Science, EarlyView.
Tregs control immune tolerance but can also enable tumor escape. Nanomaterials can now expand or stabilize Tregs to treat autoimmunity and support transplantation or conversely disrupt tumor Tregs to boost antitumor immunity. We also discuss unintended Treg modulation by nanoparticles, safety and manufacturing challenges, and future translational ...

Protein synthesis at synaptic sites on dendrites [PDF]

, 2001
Studies over the past 20 years have revealed that gene expression in neurons is carried out by a distributed network of translational machinery. One component of this network is localized in dendrites, where polyribosomes and associated membranous ...

Optical control of metabotropic glutamate receptors [PDF]

Nature Neuroscience, 2013
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane signaling proteins, respond to neurotransmitters, hormones and small environmental molecules. The neuronal function of many GPCRs has been difficult to resolve because of an inability to gate them with subtype specificity, spatial precision, speed and reversibility. To address this, we

Neuropsychopharmacology of hallucinogenic and non‐hallucinogenic 5‐HT2A receptor agonists

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocin were once relegated to the fringes of medical research because of their association with counterculture movements and a perceived concern about harm through recreational use, and their consequent legal prohibition in the early 1970s.
