PET mapping of receptor occupancy using joint direct parametric reconstruction [PDF]
Receptor occupancy (RO) studies using PET neuroimaging play a critical role in the development of drugs targeting the central nervous system (CNS). The conventional approach to estimate drug receptor occupancy consists in estimation of binding potential changes between two PET scans (baseline and post-drug injection).

Uniquely human CHRFAM7A gene increases the hematopoietic stem cell reservoir in mice and amplifies their inflammatory response. [PDF]
, 2019 A subset of genes in the human genome are uniquely human and not found in other species. One example is CHRFAM7A, a dominant-negative inhibitor of the antiinflammatory α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR/CHRNA7) that is also a neurotransmitter ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Our study elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying KYNA's protective effects against HIRI. It emphasises that KYNA modulates the methylation status of the Hippo signalling pathway through the activation of AHR, thereby mitigating damage by promoting LATS1 degradation and facilitating the nuclear translocation of YAP. ABSTRACT Hepatic

Trihexyphenidyl rescues the deficit in dopamine neurotransmission in a mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Neurobiology of Disease, 2019 Trihexyphenidyl, a nonselective muscarinic receptor antagonist, is the small molecule drug of choice for the treatment of DYT1 dystonia, but it is poorly tolerated due to significant side effects.

EvoDevo, 2019 Background Nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors likely evolved in the cnidarian–bilaterian common ancestor. Both receptor families are best known for their role at chemical synapses in bilaterian animals, but they also have described roles as

Systems level circuit model of C. elegans undulatory locomotion: mathematical modeling and molecular genetics [PDF]
Journal of Computational Neuroscience 24, 253-276 (2008), 2007 To establish the relationship between locomotory behavior and dynamics of neural circuits in the nematode C. elegans we combined molecular and theoretical approaches. In particular, we quantitatively analyzed the motion of C. elegans with defective synaptic GABA and acetylcholine transmission, defective muscle calcium signaling, and defective muscles ...

Agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor clustering in mammalian muscle requires tyrosine phosphorylation. [PDF]
, 1996 Agrin is thought to be the nerve-derived factor that initiates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the developing neuromuscularjunction. We have investigated the signaling pathway in mouse C2 myotubes and report that agrin induces a rapid but ...
