Phencyclidine (PCP) blocks glutamate-activated postsynaptic currents [PDF]
Phencyclidine (PCP) was tested on the metathoracic tibialis muscles of Locusta migratoria. In physiological solution, the peak amplitude of the excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) evoked by nerve stimulation was linearly related to membrane ...

The role of setting for ketamine abuse: clinical and preclinical evidence [PDF]
Drug abuse is often seen as a unitary phenomenon, partly as a result of the discovery over the past three decades of shared mechanisms of action for addictive substances. Yet the pattern of drug taking is often very different from drug to drug.

Contribution of Cystine-Glutamate Antiporters to the Psychotomimetic Effects of Phencyclidine [PDF]
Altered glutamate signaling contributes to a myriad of neural disorders, including schizophrenia. While synaptic levels are intensely studied, nonvesicular release mechanisms, including cystine–glutamate exchange, maintain high steady-state glutamate ...

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic
