NDST3‐Induced Epigenetic Reprogramming Reverses Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NDST3‐mediated epigenetic reprogramming revitalizes neuronal circuits in the substantia nigra and striatum to halt dopaminergic neuron degeneration and restore motor function in Parkinson's disease models. This strategy promotes neuronal maintenance and functional recovery, highlighting NDST3's therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders ...

Glia instruct axon regeneration via a ternary modulation of neuronal calcium channels in Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2023
A neuron’s regenerative capacity is governed by its intrinsic and extrinsic environment. Both peripheral and central neurons exhibit cell-type-dependent axon regeneration, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Inwardly rectifying potassium channel 5.1: Structure, function, and possible roles in diseases

Genes and Diseases, 2021
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels make it easier for K+ to enter into a cell and subsequently regulate cellular biological functions. Kir5.1 (encoded by KCNJ16) alone can form a homotetramer and can form heterotetramers with Kir4.1 (encoded by

Thermal constraints on in vivo optogenetic manipulations. [PDF]

, 2019
A key assumption of optogenetics is that light only affects opsin-expressing neurons. However, illumination invariably heats tissue, and many physiological processes are temperature-sensitive.

Label‐Free Molecular Characterization of Protein Aggregates in Differentiated Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mid‐infrared photothermal microscopy enables label‐free structural, molecular, and functional imaging of protein aggregates in astrocyte cells. The processes of astrocytes differentiated on a nanomaterial interface are characterized by α‐helical signatures combined with enhanced interfacial thermal resistance properties, while the cell soma of non ...

The role of Mg2+ in the inactivation of inwardly rectifying K+ channels in aortic endothelial cells. [PDF]

, 1995
We have studied the role of Mg2+ in the inactivation of inwardly rectifying K+ channels in vascular endothelial cells. Inactivation was largely eliminated in Mg(2+)-free external solutions and the extent of inactivation was increased by raising Mg2+o ...

Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.

Contribution of glial inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels to potassium buffering in insect neural systems

iScience
Summary: There is a paucity of information pertaining to the fundamental roles of glia in insect central nervous system (CNS) function and in the maintenance of ionic gradients. Inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels are known to drive K+ buffering in

Dual activation of neuronal G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels by cholesterol and alcohol

Scientific Reports, 2017
Activation of G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels leads to a hyperpolarization of the neuron’s membrane potential, providing an important component of inhibition in the brain.
