A novel octopamine receptor with preferential expression in Drosophila mushroom bodies [PDF]
Octopamine is a neuromodulator that mediates diverse physiological processes in invertebrates. In some insects, such as honeybees and fruit flies, octopamine has been shown to be a major stimulator of adenylyl cyclase and to function in associative ...

An in vivo biosensor for neurotransmitter release and in situ receptor activity. [PDF]
Tools from molecular biology, combined with in vivo optical imaging techniques, provide new mechanisms for noninvasively observing brain processes. Current approaches primarily probe cell-based variables, such as cytosolic calcium or membrane potential ...

LDL receptor-related protein-1 regulates NFκB and microRNA-155 in macrophages to control the inflammatory response [PDF]
LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is an endocytic and cell-signaling receptor. In mice in which LRP1 is deleted in myeloid cells, the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was greatly exacerbated.
