Research advances in dysphagia animal models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the establishment, evaluation, and detection of dysphagia animal models in stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in three kinds of experimental animals (including rodents, nonhuman primates, and other mammals), providing a basis for the selection of appropriate animal models of ...

A Frank Assessment of SHANK: Impacts of Pathogenic Variations in SHANK3 on Preclinical Models of Phelan McDermid Syndrome

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although there are as many as 40 preclinical models of the neurodevelopmental disorder Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS, or 22q13.3 deletion syndrome), detailed phenotypic analyses to compare the effects of different pathogenic variants and inform treatment design are lacking.

Interplay between metabotropic glutamate type 4 and adenosine type 1 receptors modulate synaptic transmission in the cerebellar cortex

Frontiers in Pharmacology
The synapses between parallel fibers and Purkinje cells play a pivotal role in cerebellar function. They are intricately governed by a variety of presynaptic receptors, notably by type 4 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu4) receptors and type 1 adenosine (A1 ...

The sigma-1 receptor modulates methamphetamine dysregulation of dopamine neurotransmission

Nature Communications, 2017
Dopamine neurotransmission is highly dysregulated by the psychostimulant methamphetamine, a substrate for the dopamine transporter (DAT). Through interactions with DAT, methamphetamine increases extracellular dopamine levels in the brain, leading to its ...

Synthesis, Characterization, Biological Properties, and Sensor Applications of Novel Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, novel thiosemicarbazone derivative molecules (5a–j) were synthesized. The characterization of the synthesized molecules was carried out using 1H–, 13C–NMR, FT–IR, and Q–TOF spectroscopic techniques. Then, the inhibitory effect of these compounds was examined for human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I, and II) and ...

Can nanofluidic chemical release enable fast, high resolution neurotransmitter-based neurostimulation?

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Artificial chemical stimulation could provide improvements over electrical neurostimulation. Physiological neurotransmission between neurons relies on the nanoscale release and propagation of specific chemical signals to spatially-localized receptors ...

Watching neurotransmission in vitro [PDF]

Nature Methods, 2011
A well-established approach to study a cellular process is to reconstitute the system in vitro. Researchers in several laboratories, including that of Axel Brunger at Stanford University, have been using this strategy to understand neurotransmitter release.

Fusion Pores as Regulators of Quantal Size and Cellular Physiology

BioEssays, EarlyView.
During regulated exocytosis, membrane fusion regulatory factors act directly on SNAREs and membrane lipids to control fusion pore dynamics. This, in turn, leads to a differential amount of cargo release (referred to in this article as “quantal size”) across various cell types, thereby triggering distinct physiological cues.
