Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

The glutamatergic system in primary somatosensory neurons and its involvement in sensory input-dependent plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glutamate is the most common neurotransmitter in both the central and the peripheral nervous system. Glutamate is present in all types of neurons in sensory ganglia, and is released not only from their peripheral and central axon terminals but also from ...

Fasting and Caloric Restriction Activate an ADIOL‐NHR‐91‐Kynurenine Pathway Signaling Axis to Promote Healthspan

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
The steroid hormone ADIOL emerges as a key mediator of fasting–and caloric restriction–induced healthspan benefits in C. elegans. These regimens activate ADIOL production, which acts through the estrogen receptor β homolog NHR‐91 to reduce neural kynurenic acid levels and enhance healthspan independently of lifespan. ADIOL supplementation, even late in

Glutamate gradually elevates [Zn2+]i via the CaM–CaMKII–NOS cascade in primary cultured rat embryonic cortical neurons

open access: yesScientific Reports
Zn2+ is essential for neuronal signaling, but imbalance cause cell death and neurodegenerative disorders. While the buffering system maintains low cytosolic Zn2+ concentration ([Zn2+]i), the details on physiological stimuli elevating [Zn2+]i for neuronal

Reciprocal regulation between taurine and glutamate response via Ca2+- dependent pathways in retinal third-order neurons

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Although taurine and glutamate are the most abundant amino acids conducting neural signals in the central nervous system, the communication between these two neurotransmitters is largely unknown.

The DLGAP family: neuronal expression, function and role in brain disorders

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2017
The neurotransmitter glutamate facilitates neuronal signalling at excitatory synapses. Glutamate is released from the presynaptic membrane into the synaptic cleft.

AMPA receptor GluA2 subunit defects are a cause of neurodevelopmental disorders

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Genetic variants in ionotropic glutamate receptors have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, the authors report heterozygous de novo mutations in the GRIA2 gene in 28 individuals with intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental ...

IgG Isolated from LP-BM5 Infected Mouse Brain Activates Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2001
Biochemical and immunological studies have shown that mice infected with LP-BM5 virus develop antibodies to ionotropic glutamate receptors. Here, IgG isolated from brain of infected mice has been tested electrophysiologically on cultured rat cortical and
