Highly‐Time‐Resolved Measurements of Tryptophan's Distribution and Homeostatic Regulation in Live, Intact Animals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a novel, aptamer‐based biosensor, here we have performed 20‐s‐resolved, in situ measurements of plasma‐free tryptophan in the jugular veins of live rats (blue). This unprecedented time‐resolution provides insights into the regulation of tryptophan metabolism in live, intact animals.

Palmitoyl Acyltransferase Zdhhc17 Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury by Targeting the Nuclear Transport Factors Kpna2 and Ipo9

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that Zdhhc17, acting as a PAT, suppresses neuronal apoptosis and promotes axon regeneration after injury, thereby enhancing functional recovery following SCI. In this context, Kpna2 and Ipo9 serve as novel palmitoylation substrates of Zdhhc17, whose palmitoylation prevents the injury‐induced degradation of their proteins ...

Serotonin and Whisking [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2003
Rhythmic whisker movements, called "whisking," are produced by a brainstem central pattern generator (CPG) that uses serotonin to induce periodic firing in facial motorneurons. During active touch, motor cortex could regulate whisking frequency by controlling the rate of firing of the serotonergic neurons.

A Gut‐Brain Axis Underlying Succinate‐Associated Compulsive‐Like Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Gut‐derived succinate is associated with an excitatory‐inhibitory imbalance in dmPFC glutamatergic neurons, involving microglial SUCNR1 activation and vagal afferent signaling via upregulated gut 5‐HT4 receptors along the DVC‐CeA‐dmPFC circuit, changes that are linked to excessive compulsive‐like behavior.

On the anxiogenic influence of serotonin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite over half a century of research on the role of serotonin in modulating anxiety, no consensus exists as to if serotonin should be regarded as acting mainly anxiety-dampening or anxiety-enhancing.

Co‐activation of Selective Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes Is Required for Neuroprotection against Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beta‐amyloid peptide (Aβ)‐induced suppression of hippocampal GABAergic interneuron activity drives hyperexcitability, amyloid pathology, and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting that enhancing hippocampal inhibition may be protective.

Serotonin Pathway in Cancer

open access: yes, 2021
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a biogenic monoamine produced from the essential amino acid tryptophan. Serotonin’s role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and a motility mediator in the gastrointestinal tract has been ...

Innovative Approach Reveals How Receptors Control G Protein State Equilibria

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using conformational specific trFRET biosensors of the Gi protein (depicted at the bottom), the authors show that receptor activation can not only release GDP from the inactive G protein, but can also release GTP from the activated G protein, leading to the reformation of the RG ternary complex.
