The mechanisms of calcium homeostasis and signalling in the lens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Excessive Ca2+ can be detrimental to cells and raised levels of Ca2+ in human lenses with cortical cataract have been found to play a major role in the opacification process.

Muscarinic agonists and phorbol esters increase tyrosine phosphorylation of a 40-kilodalton protein in hippocampal slices.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1989
We have used the hippocampal slice preparation to investigate the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in brain. After pharmacological treatment of intact slices, proteins were separated by electrophoresis, and levels of protein tyrosine ...

The effects of agonists on the components of the cardiac muscarinic receptor [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 1987
The binding of eleven agonists to muscarinic receptors in the rat heart has been measured in competition with [3H]‐N‐methylscopolamine. Full analysis of binding required the resolution of three components (SH, H and L). The proportion of the H component was independent of agonist structure.

Oral Health in Individuals with Severe Mental Illness on Second‐Generation Antipsychotics—A Scoping Review

open access: yesJournal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There has been a significant increase in antipsychotic usage, particularly belonging to second‐generation antipsychotics (SGAs), in the management of severe mental illnesses (SMIs) over the past few decades, but their impact on oral health is unclear.

Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

The M3 muscarinic receptor is required for optimal adaptive immunity to helminth and bacterial infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
Innate immunity is regulated by cholinergic signalling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We show here that signalling through the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) plays an important role in adaptive immunity to both Nippostrongylus ...

Spontaneous enteric nervous system activity generates contractile patterns prior to maturation of gastrointestinal motility

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Spontaneous neuronal network activity is critical for circuit maturation, yet whether this is a feature of enteric nervous system development has yet to be established. Here, we identify clustered ripples, a previously undescribed form of neurogenic gastrointestinal motility that shares many features with spontaneous neuronal networks in other systems.

Model-based prediction of muscarinic receptor function from auditory mismatch negativity responses

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Drugs affecting neuromodulation, for example by dopamine or acetylcholine, take centre stage among therapeutic strategies in psychiatry. These neuromodulators can change both neuronal gain and synaptic plasticity and therefore affect electrophysiological
