Energetics of Glutamate Binding to an Ionotropic Glutamate Receptor [PDF]

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that are responsible for the majority of excitatory transmission at the synaptic cleft. Mechanically speaking, agonist binding to the ligand binding domain (LBD) activates the receptor by triggering a conformational change that is transmitted to the transmembrane region, opening the ...

An Edible H2O2 Biosensor for Gastrointestinal Metabolites and Peroxidase Enzyme Quantification

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We present an edible biosensor for gastric fluid analysis that integrates a caffeic acid–horseradish peroxidase redox system into an edible electrolyte‐gated transistor. The device enables rapid, low‐volume detection of H2O2 and, with minimal modification, metabolites and enzyme activity in simulated gastrointestinal conditions.

Ubiquitin-dependent trafficking and turnover of ionotropic glutamate receptors

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2015
Changes in synaptic strength underlie the basis of learning and memory and are controlled, in part, by the insertion or removal of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at the postsynaptic membrane of excitatory synapses.

Common Mechanisms Underlying Opioid Tolerance and Dependence and Neuropathic Pain: Role of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

Pain Research and Management, 2000
It has been suggested that opioid tolerance and dependence share common mechanisms with neuropathic pain. This short review deals with the role of glutamate and glutamate receptors in opioid tolerance and dependence, and neuropathic pain.

Intersubunit Interactions at Putative Sites of Ethanol Action in the M3 and M4 Domains of the NMDA Receptor GluN1 and GluN2B Subunits [PDF]

, 2016
Background and Purpose: The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is an important target of alcohol action in the brain. Recent studies in this laboratory have demonstrated that alcohol-sensitive positions in the intersubunit interfaces of the M3 and M4 ...

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Neural Cells: Physiological and Pathological Roles, and Potential in Neurodegenerative Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...
