Experimental approaches to understanding the role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of neuronal function [PDF]
, 1983 Studies by Earl Sutherland and his colleagues on hormonal regulation of the breakdown of glycogen in liver resulted in the discovery that the first step in the action of many hormones is to increase the synthesis of cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase ...

Structure and Function of the Benzodiazepine Receptor
CHIMIA, 1987 Benzodiazepine tranquilizers are the most frequently therapeutically used psychotropic agents since their introduction in I960. Since 1974 research on the mechanism of action of agents acting on the specific benzodiazepine receptors (BZR) has been one ...

The Role of Ionic Liquids at the Biological Interfaces in Bioelectronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ionic liquids (ILs) are highlighted as key artificial ionic materials that bridge biological ion‐based signaling and electronic devices. By understanding their composition, structure, function relationships, and mechanisms, ILs can advance from high performance electrolyte to core materials enabling integrated, multifunctional bioelectronics for ...

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We identify a Lepidoptera‐conserved testis‐specific arylalkylamine N‐acetyltransferase (LTNAT) that governs male moth fertility via a novel mechanism. LTNAT loss disrupts eupyrene sperm mitochondrial derivatives and impairs apyrene sperm motility, offering a safe molecular target for innovative pesticides and genetic pest control.

Aging and aerobic fitness affect the contribution of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves to the rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating [PDF]
, 2011 Sedentary aging results in a diminished rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating. We investigated whether this diminished response was due to altered contributions of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves; assessing 1) the age-related decline and,

NeuroToxicology, 2018 Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental toxicant with detrimental effects on the developing brain and adult nervous system. The main mechanisms identified include oxidative stress, changes in intracellular calcium, mitochondrial changes, inhibition of glutamate uptake, of protein synthesis and disruption of microtubules. However, little is known about

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

Trends in the Recent Patent Literature on Cholinesterase Reactivators (2016–2019)
Biomolecules, 2020 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the key enzyme responsible for deactivating the ACh neurotransmitter. Irreversible or prolonged inhibition of AChE, therefore, elevates synaptic ACh leading to serious central and peripheral adverse effects which fall under
