ASN Neuro, 2009 A number of studies suggest that OLGs (oligodendrocytes), the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, are also a source of trophic molecules, such as neurotrophins that may influence survival of proximate neurons.

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

NMDA Receptor-Dependent Metaplasticity by High-Frequency Magnetic Stimulation
Neural Plasticity, 2014 High-frequency magnetic stimulation (HFMS) can elicit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.Controlling protein‐protein interactions is critical for dissecting signaling pathways, especially those initiated by ligand‐receptor interactions which alter receptor oligomerization and drive downstream signaling cascades. Traditional methods for driving protein‐protein complexes are using antibodies that face limitations in terms of stoichiometry ...

Conformational fingerprinting of allosteric modulators in metabotropic glutamate receptor 2
eLife, 2022 Activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is an allosteric process. It involves conformational coupling between the orthosteric ligand binding site and the G protein binding site. Factors that bind at non-cognate ligand binding sites to alter the

The prion protein regulates glutamate-mediated Ca2+ entry and mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation in neurons [PDF]
, 2017 The cellular prion protein (PrPC) whose conformational misfolding leads to the production of deadly prions, has a still-unclarified cellular function despite decades of intensive research.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]
, 2015 Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...
