Mechanism for neurotransmitter-receptor matching [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance Neurotransmitter switching generally involves replacement of an excitatory transmitter with an inhibitory transmitter or vice versa and has been linked to changes in animal behavior. There are corresponding switches in postsynaptic receptors that enable continued function of the circuit, but the mechanism by which ...

Glutamate at the Vertebrate Neuromuscular Junction: From Modulation to Neurotransmission
Cells, 2019 Although acetylcholine is the major neurotransmitter operating at the skeletal neuromuscular junction of many invertebrates and of vertebrates, glutamate participates in modulating cholinergic transmission and plastic changes in the last.

Transcriptome of the female synganglion of the black-legged tick Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) with comparison between Illumina and 454 systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Illumina and 454 pyrosequencing were used to characterize genes from the synganglion of female Ixodes scapularis. GO term searching success for biological processes was similar for samples sequenced by both methods.

GABA increases electrical excitability in a subset of human unmyelinated peripheral axons [PDF]
, 2010 A proportion of small diameter primary sensory neurones innervating human skin are chemosensitive. They respond in a receptor dependent manner to chemical mediators of inflammation as well as naturally occurring algogens, thermogens and pruritogens.

Presynaptic mechanisms determining the dynamic range of neurotransmitter release in the lateral amygdala [PDF]
, 2008 The amygdala is a central brain structure receiving sensory information from diverse regions of the central nervous system. Cortical and thalamic axons converge to the lateral amygdala (LA) which is thought to be the main site for fear-induced ...

Altered expression of genes encoding neurotransmitter receptors in GnRH neurons of proestrous mice
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons play a key role in the central regulation of reproduction. In proestrous female mice, estradiol triggers the pre-ovulatory GnRH surge, however, its impact on the expression of neurotransmitter receptor genes ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
