EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2018 Normal hearing and synaptic transmission at afferent auditory inner hair cell (IHC) synapses require otoferlin. Deafness DFNB9, caused by mutations in the OTOF gene encoding otoferlin, might be treated by transferring wild‐type otoferlin cDNA into IHCs ...

Neurexin directs partner-specific synaptic connectivity in C. elegans
eLife, 2018 In neural circuits, individual neurons often make projections onto multiple postsynaptic partners. Here, we investigate molecular mechanisms by which these divergent connections are generated, using dyadic synapses in C. elegans as a model.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Impaired Bone Microarchitecture, Regeneration and Potential Genetic Links
Life, 2023 Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and osteoporosis are both age-related degenerative diseases. Many studies indicate that these two diseases share common pathogenesis mechanisms.

Cells, 2023 V-ATPase is an important factor in synaptic vesicle acidification and is implicated in synaptic transmission. Rotation in the extra-membranous V1 sector drives proton transfer through the membrane-embedded multi-subunit V0 sector of the V-ATPase.

eLife, 2023 We still face fundamental gaps in understanding how molecular plastic changes of synapses intersect with circuit operation to define behavioral states. Here, we show that an antagonism between two conserved regulatory proteins, Spinophilin (Spn) and Syd ...

Imaging neurotransmitter transport in live cells with stimulated Raman scattering microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Chemical neurotransmission is central to neurotypical brain function but also implicated in a variety of psychiatric neurodegenerative diseases. The release dynamics of neurotransmitters is correlated with but distinct from neuronal electrical signal propagation.

Shock Induced Damage Mechanism Of Perineuronal Net [PDF]
, 2021 ECM components, such as the Perineuronal net (PNN), one of the most prevalent parts surrounding the neuronal cell. PNN is a protective net-like structure regulating neuronal activity such as neurotransmission, charge balance and generates an action potential. Shock induced damage of this essential component may cause neuronal cell death and potentially

Role of the UNC13 family in human diseases: A literature review
AIMS Neuroscience, 2023 This literature review explores the pivotal roles of the Uncoordinated-13 (UNC13) protein family, encompassing UNC13A, UNC13B, UNC13C, and UNC13D, in the pathogenesis of various human diseases.

Partial mean-field model for neurotransmission dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This article addresses reaction networks in which spatial and stochastic effects are of crucial importance. For such systems, particle-based models allow us to describe all microscopic details with high accuracy. However, they suffer from computational inefficiency if particle numbers and density get too large.

Differential Myosin 5a splice variants in innervation of pelvic organs
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: Myosin proteins interact with filamentous actin and translate the chemical energy generated by ATP hydrolysis into a wide variety of mechanical functions in all cell types. The classic function of conventional myosins is mediation of muscle
