GABA(A) receptor phospho-dependent modulation is regulated by phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1, a novel protein phosphatase 1 anchoring protein [PDF]
GABA(A) receptors are critical in controlling neuronal activity. Here, we examined the role for phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1 (PRIP-1), which binds and inactivates protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in facilitating GABA(A) receptor ...

Startpoints and $(α,γ)$-Contractions in Quasi-Pseudometric Spaces [PDF]
We introduce the concept of $\it{ startpoint}$ and $\it{endpoint}$ for multivalued maps defined on a quasi-pseudometric space. We investigate the relation between these new concepts and the existence of fixed points for these set valued maps.

Efficient Generation of Megakaryocyte Progenitors and Platelets From HSPCs via JAK2/STAT3 Signaling
This research presents a novel strategy employing the VGM cocktail, which combines HES7 overexpression with HDAC inhibitor and GABA, to enhance platelet production from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by promoting megakaryocyte progenitor (MkP) generation.

This study compared the clinical effectiveness and treatment satisfaction of Pregabalin and Gabapentin triple therapy for neuropathic pain in a real‐world setting. The primary outcome measured the reduction in mean Self‐Administered Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs pain score value from baseline to 12 weeks posttreatment.

Two Amino Acid Residues Contribute to a Cation-π Binding Interaction in the Binding Site of an Insect GABA Receptor [PDF]
Cys-loop receptor binding sites characteristically possess an "aromatic box," where several aromatic amino acid residues surround the bound ligand. A cation-π interaction between one of these residues and the natural agonist is common, although the ...

Loop G in the GABAA receptor α1 subunit influences gating efficacy [PDF]
KEY POINTS: The functional importance of residues in loop G of the GABA(A) receptor has not been investigated. D43 and T47 in the α1 subunit are of particular significance as their structural modification inhibits activation by GABA.

The Locus Coeruleus‐Periaqueductal Gray GABAergic Projection Regulates Comorbid Pain and Depression
LC‐GABA neurons exhibit elevated activity to noxious and aversive stimuli in chronic pain, and their activation alleviates pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors. While LC‐GABA neurons target LC‐NA neurons and GABA and Glu neurons in the vlPAG, they modulate the pain responses of LC‐NA neurons but regulate pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors through their

Glycine and GABA mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and central nervous system. The general concept of neurotransmission is now challenged by the contribution of both phasic activation of postsynaptic glycine and GABAA receptors ...

In intact islets interstitial GABA activates GABA(A) receptors that generate tonic currents in α-cells. [PDF]
In the rat islets γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is produced by the β-cells and, at least, the α-cells express the GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A) channels). In this study, we examined in intact islets if the interstitial GABA activated the GABA(A) receptors.

Determining the Location of GABA Receptor mRNA Transcripts in \u3cem\u3eDanio rerio\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that has been shown to be present in the inner ear. GABA binds to two classes of GABA receptors (GABARs): GABAARs are pentameric ion channels (isoforms include: 1-6, β 1-3, 1-3, 1-3, , , and ); GABABRs ...
