Modulation of the NMDA receptor by polyamines

open access: yesLife Sciences, 1991
Results of recent biochemical and electrophysiological studies have suggested that a recognition site for polyamines exists as part of the NMDA receptor complex. This site appears to be distinct from previously described binding sites for glutamate, glycine, Mg++,Zn++, and open-channel blockers such as MK-801.

The mechanisms in glucose metabolism of aging hippocampus

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Cognitive decline in elders stems from the irreversible loss and functional decline of neurons, with the hippocampus being particularly susceptible to age‐related neuronal deterioration. Glucose acts as the primary fuel for the brain, and a constant provision of glucose to the hippocampus is essential for memory and cognitive functions.

Tau is required for the function of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Tau is a microtubule-associated neuronal protein found mainly in axons. However, increasing evidence indicates that it is also present in dendrites, where it serves as an essential mediator of synaptic NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor-dependent ...

Alterations and mechanistic insights of gut microbiota and its metabolites in type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This narrative review uniquely addresses how gut microbiota‐derived metabolites mediate overlapping pathologies of insulin resistance, neuroinflammation, and amyloidogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), proposing a framework for dual therapeutic targeting.

Perinatal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Thiacloprid Impacts Transcription of Neuroplasticity and Neuroendocrine Markers in Mice but Not in the Zebrafish Model

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides in agriculture, aquaculture, pet care, and urban pest control. Initially developed to selectively target the insect cholinergic system, their extensive use has raised concerns about adverse effects on nontarget vertebrates.

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells in Demyelination Repair: Mechanisms, Crosstalk, and Therapeutic Frontiers

open access: yesMedicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In multiple sclerosis (MS), demyelination is often accompanied by severe motor and cognitive disability. Remyelination is the process of regenerating new myelin sheath on impaired axons, which is typically carried out by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs).
