Pro-inflammatory mechanisms of muscarinic receptor stimulation in airway smooth muscle
Respiratory Research, 2010 Background Acetylcholine, the primary parasympathetic neurotransmitter in the airways, plays an important role in bronchoconstriction and mucus production.

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1992 We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Genetics‐Based Targeting Strategies for Precise Neuromodulation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this Review, the fundamental principles and implementation protocols of genetics‐based precision neuromodulation are first introduced. Then, wireless and low‐invasive strategies based on nano‐transducing materials are highlighted, along with a dissection and analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of representative studies.

The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]
, 2012 Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
Physical Review E 82, 041902 (2010), 2010 The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]
, 2006 Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain

New Horizons for Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: 2025 and Beyond
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.The advances achieved against multiple sclerosis (MS) represent one of the great success stories of modern molecular medicine. The development of therapies with increasing selectivity and safety, guided by gains in understanding the fundamental immunology, neurobiology, genetics, and triggers of this disease, have broadened the traditional focus on ...
