Advances and Barriers in Understanding Presynaptic N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors in Spinal Pain Processing

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
For decades, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been known to play a critical role in the modulation of both acute and chronic pain. Of particular interest are NMDA receptors expressed in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the spinal cord ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum Geometry Dictates Neuronal Bursting via Calcium Store Refill Rates and Exposes Selective Neuronal Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ER's continuous tubular network is maintained by ER‐shaping proteins whose mutation or dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that ER morphology sets the speed of Ca2+ store replenishment between firing events. Disrupting ER continuity slows intra‐ER Ca2+ redistribution from extracellular refill (SOCE) sites, driving

Pre and post synaptic NMDA effects targeting Purkinje cells in the mouse cerebellar cortex.

PLoS ONE, 2012
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are associated with many forms of synaptic plasticity. Their expression level and subunit composition undergo developmental changes in several brain regions.

ANKS1B in the Nucleus Accumbens Controls Escalated Cocaine Self‐Administration via Regulating CBP‐FoxO3 Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ANKS1B in the nucleus accumbens plays a critical role in the transition from controlled to escalated cocaine intake. Mechanistically, ANKS1B interacts with CBP to epigenetically suppress FoxO3 through H3K27 acetylation. The ANKS1B‐CBP‐FoxO3 signaling cascade presents a novel theraputic target for the treatment of cocaine addiction.

Integrated Regulation of Signal Coding and Plasticity by NMDA Receptors at a Central Synapse

Neural Plasticity, 1998
The role of NMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptors in long-term potentiation has been intensely investigated, yet recent evidence on the dynamics of synaptic depolarization suggests that the original view should be extended.

The Dichotomy of NMDA Receptor Signaling [PDF]

The Neuroscientist, 2007
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors plays a Jekyll and Hyde role in the mammalian central nervous system. In pathological scenarios such as ischemia, Ca2+ influx through the NMDA receptor is a key mediator of cell death.

Orthogonal Ionic Liquid‐Based Extraction Strategy Enables Amyloid‐Specific Profiling of Aggregate Proteome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An orthogonal ionic‐liquid extraction (Orth‐iEA) enables selective isolation of amyloid fibrils. TMGBF4 disrupts hydrogen‐bonded β‐sheet networks to solubilize amyloid aggregates, whereas C12ImCl interacts with hydrophobic regions of non‐amyloid proteins.

Functional Proteins Involved in Regulation of Intracellular Ca2+ for Drug Development: Desensitization of N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Channels

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a principal subtype of excitatory ligand-gated ion channels with crucial roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).

Divergent Roles of mGlu2 and mGlu3 Receptors in Amyloid‐β Production and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

NMDA Receptor Modulators in the Treatment of Drug Addiction

Pharmaceuticals, 2013
Glutamate plays a pivotal role in drug addiction, and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor subtype serves as a molecular target for several drugs of abuse. In this review, we will provide an overview of NMDA receptor structure and function,
