Sharing vesicles between central presynaptic terminals: implications for synaptic function

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
Presynaptic terminals in hippocampal neurons house functionally distinct vesicle pools, the size, structure and biochemical features of which are major determinants of presynaptic strength and performance.

Recycling of Synaptic Vesicles

, 1997
Publisher Summary A widely accepted model describes the synaptic vesicle cycle as a modification of the receptor-mediated recycling pathway present in all cells. This pathway, by which cell surface receptors, like transferrin or low-density lipoprotein receptors, are internalized and recycled back to the surface, involves two distinct vesicular ...

Stochastic Nanoscale Biophysical Cues as a Basis for the Induction of Glioblastoma‐Like Transcriptional Programs in Astrocytes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stochastic nanoscale physical cues induce glioblastoma (GBM)‐associated transcriptional traits in naïve astrocytes leading to spontaneous formation of spheroids. Cells within spheroids express activated‐MMP2 and a differential gene expression pattern involving P53 and NOTCH3, providing evidence for a role for changes in brain topography, as observed in

Structural basis of synaptic vesicle assembly promoted by α-synuclein

Nature Communications, 2016
α-synuclein, a protein associated to Parkinson's disease, is involved in synaptic vesicle interaction and assembly. Here, the authors use NMR spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy to unveil the nature and molecular mechanism of α-synuclein ...

Spontaneous Vesicle Recycling in the Synaptic Bouton

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The trigger for synaptic vesicle exocytosis is Ca2+, which enters the synaptic bouton following action potential stimulation. However, spontaneous release of neurotransmitter also occurs in the absence of stimulation in virtually all synaptic boutons. It

Calcium Shock Enables Efficient and Programmable Particle Delivery for Genome Editing Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Classical transfection and transduction are inefficient, particularly with confluent cells and organoids, and lack cell type‐specific programmability. This study presents calcium shock (CaSh), a method that dramatically improves particle delivery into single cells, colonies, and organoids.

Photoreceptor Outer Segment-like Structures in Long-Term 3D Retinas from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells. [PDF]

, 2017
The retinal degenerative diseases, which together constitute a leading cause of hereditary blindness worldwide, are largely untreatable. Development of reliable methods to culture complex retinal tissues from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) could ...

Temporal and Cell‐Specific Regulation of Synaptic Homeostasis by the Chromatin Remodeler Chd1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chd1, the Drosophila homologue of mammalian CHD2 ‐ a gene linked to autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, is required for synaptic homeostatic plasticity. Chd1 in glia is necessary for the rapid induction of synaptic homeostasis, whereas Chd1 in motoneurons, muscle, and glia is critical for long‐term maintenance.

ADAR-mediated RNA editing suppresses sleep by acting as a brake on glutamatergic synaptic plasticity. [PDF]

, 2016
It has been postulated that synaptic potentiation during waking is offset by a homoeostatic reduction in net synaptic strength during sleep. However, molecular mechanisms to support such a process are lacking. Here we demonstrate that deficiencies in the

DNM1 encephalopathy: A new disease of vesicle fission. [PDF]

, 2017
ObjectiveTo evaluate the phenotypic spectrum caused by mutations in dynamin 1 (DNM1), encoding the presynaptic protein DNM1, and to investigate possible genotype-phenotype correlations and predicted functional consequences based on structural modeling ...
