In vivo evidence for dysregulation of mGluR5 as a biomarker of suicidal ideation [PDF]
Significance Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an important risk factor for suicidal ideation, attempts, and death by suicide. Understanding of the biology underlying suicidality in PTSD is limited. In this study, we used positron emission tomography to evaluate the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) as a potential ...

Improved retinal function in RCS rats after suppressing the over-activation of mGluR5
Müller cells maintain retinal synaptic homeostasis by taking up glutamate from the synaptic cleft and transporting glutamine back to the neurons. To study the interaction between Müller cells and photoreceptors, we injected either DL-α-aminoadipate or L ...

Central amygdala metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in the modulation of visceral pain [PDF]
Painful bladder syndrome is a debilitating condition that affects 3–6% of women in the United States. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that changes in central nervous system processing are key to the development of chronic bladder pain conditions, but ...

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and Transforming Growth Factor-β Stimulate Cystine/Glutamate Exchange Activity in Dental Pulp Cells [PDF]
Introduction The growth factors insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are protective to dental pulp cells in culture against the toxicity of the composite materials Durafill VS and Flow Line (Henry Schein Inc, New ...

Main Points Multi‐omics reveal Annexin‐A2 (A2) and S100a10 (A10) as SCN astrocyte enriched proteins. Disrupting A2‐A10 complex elevates astrocyte Ca2+ and compromises SCN timekeeping. Astrocytic A2‐A10 is a critical control point for SCN network rhythms.

Mglur5: a Potential Target for the Treatment of Huntington's Disease [PDF]
ISSN 1479-6708 Future Neurology (2014) 9(3), 289–293 Huntington’s disease Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an age of onset between 35 and 50 years. At first, HD patients experience chorea and psychiatric alterations, associated with intellectual decline and inevitable death within 15–20 years [1,2].
