Simultaneous Modeling of In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs (NDNBs) are clinically used to produce muscle relaxation during general anesthesia. This paper explores a suitable model structure to simultaneously describe in vivo and in vitro effects of three clinically used NDNBs, cisatracurium, vecuronium, and rocuronium. In particular, it is discussed how to reconcile

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT African cobra (Naja spp.) venom contains toxins dominated by proteins and peptides with inter‐ and intra‐specific variations. There are several FDA‐approved drugs from snake venom toxins from other regions, including South America and Asia. Profiling the proteomes of medically important African cobra venoms from different locations will aid in

Cholesterol modulates acetylcholine receptor diffusion by tuning confinement sojourns and nanocluster stability [PDF]
, 2018 Translational motion of neurotransmitter receptors is key for determining receptor number at the synapse and hence, synaptic efficacy. We combine live-cell STORM superresolution microscopy of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) with single-particle ...

Developmental sex differences in nicotinic currents of prefrontal layer VI neurons in mice and rats.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundThere is a large sex difference in the prevalence of attention deficit disorder; yet, relatively little is known about sex differences in the development of prefrontal attention circuitry.

Untangling direct and domain-mediated interactions between nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in DHA-rich membranes [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) self-associates to give rise to rapid muscle movement. While lipid domains have maintained nAChR aggregates in-vitro, their specific roles in nAChR clustering are currently unknown. In the present study, we carried out coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations (CG-MD)

Chronic Nicotine Selectively Enhances α4β2* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in the Nigrostriatal Dopamine Pathway [PDF]
, 2009 These electrophysiological experiments, in slices and intact animals, study the effects of in vivo chronic exposure to nicotine on functional α4β2* nAChRs in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) pathway.

A "synaptoplasmic cistern" mediates rapid inhibition of cochlear hair cells [PDF]
, 2004 Cochlear hair cells are inhibited by cholinergic efferent neurons. The acetylcholine (ACh) receptor of the hair cell is a ligand-gated cation channel through which calcium enters to activate potassium channels and hyperpolarize the cell.
