Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]
, 2005 The relationship between receptor-induced membrane phosphatidylinositol-4'5'-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and M-current inhibition was assessed in single-dissociated rat sympathetic neurons by simultaneous or parallel recording of membrane current and ...

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]
, 2006 Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain

Drug Repurposing on G Protein-Coupled Receptors Using a Computational Profiling Approach
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest human membrane receptor family regulating a wide range of cell signaling. For this reason, GPCRs are highly desirable drug targets, with approximately 40% of prescribed medicines targeting a member of ...

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2017 Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic
