Management of Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Anxiety is a common, distressing, hard‐to‐diagnose and hard‐to‐treat symptom in Parkinson's disease. No formal guidelines exist to assist management. Objective We provide a pragmatic guide to detecting and managing anxiety in Parkinson's disease.

The Oncogenic Functions of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Oncology, 2016 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ion channels that are expressed in the cell membrane of all mammalian cells, including cancer cells. Recent findings suggest that nAChRs not only mediate nicotine addiction in the brain but also contribute to the development and progression of cancers directly induced by nicotine and its derived ...

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and new treatment strategies are clearly needed. The recent discovery that lung and other cancers synthesize and secrete acetylcholine (ACh) which acts as an autocrine growth factor suggests that

Live-Cell Imaging of Single Receptor Composition Using Zero-Mode Waveguide Nanostructures [PDF]
, 2012 We exploit the optical and spatial features of subwavelength nanostructures to examine individual receptors on the plasma membrane of living cells. Receptors were sequestered in portions of the membrane projected into zero-mode waveguides.

Med Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

Schizophrenia is a TH2 dominant autoimmune disease possibly against acetylcholine receptors of CNS [PDF]
, 2012 Schizophrenia is a very common psychiatric disorder. However, its etiology and pathogenesis is still unknown. Current theory saying that neurotransmitter imbalance such as serotonin or dopamine only provides limited effectiveness in schizophrenia ...

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal manifestation of synucleinopathies and provides a critical window to identify early markers of progression to Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

Regulation of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Assembly
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003 Abstract: The four muscle‐type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits, α, β, γ, and δ, assemble into functional α2βγδ pentamers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through a series of interdependent folding and oligomerization events. The first stable assembly intermediate is a trimer composed of α, β, and γ subunits.

Cell-surface translational dynamics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014 Synapse efficacy heavily relies on the number of neurotransmitter receptors available at a given time. In addition to the equilibrium between the biosynthetic production, exocytic delivery and recycling of receptors on the one hand, and the endocytic ...
