Visualization of Synchronous or Asynchronous Release of Single Synaptic Vesicle in Active-Zone-Like Membrane Formed on Neuroligin-Coated Glass Surface

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Fast repetitive synaptic transmission depends on efficient exocytosis and retrieval of synaptic vesicles around a presynaptic active zone. However, the functional organization of an active zone and regulatory mechanisms of exocytosis, endocytosis and ...

Resolving kinetic intermediates during the regulated assembly and disassembly of fusion pores

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
SNAREs mediate the formation of a fusion pore during exocytosis which connects the lumen of a vesicle with the extracellular space. Here, authors use single molecule approaches to define the role of synaptotagmin 1 and NSF in synaptic pore formation and ...

Engineered GM1 Intersects Between Mitochondrial and Synaptic Pathways to Ameliorate ALS Pathology

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease driven by genetic and molecular disruptions affecting energy balance, protein homeostasis, and stress responses in nerve cells. Studies using human and rodent models identified convergent defects in mitochondria and synaptic function.

Preferential localization of a vesicular monoamine transporter to dense core vesicles in PC12 cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Neurons and endocrine cells have two types of secretory vesicle that undergo regulated exocytosis. Large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) store neural peptides whereas small clear synaptic vesicles store classical neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine ...

SNARE proteins as molecular masters of interneuronal communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the beginning of the 20th century the groundbreaking work\ud of Ramon y Cajal firmly established the neuron doctrine, according to which neurons are the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. Von Weldeyer coined the term “neuron”

Coincident Fluorescence‐Burst Analysis of Actin Cargo Molecules in Secreted Single Diffusing Extracellular Vesicles From Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a two‐color FCCS and coincident‐burst analysis platform to quantify actin cargo in dual‐labeled EVs secreted from hiPSCs. The approach tracks secretion dynamics, confirms actin loading, and measures EV size and cargo number, offering insights into cytoskeletal disruption and neuronal differentiation relevant to neurodegenerative ...

Synaptic vesicles are primed for fast clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the ribbon synapse

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2014
Retrieval of synaptic vesicles can occur 1-10 s after fusion, but the role of clathrin during this process has been unclear because the classical mode of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is an order of magnitude slower, as during retrieval of surface ...

Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Modelled to Simulate Diabetes Co‐Oligomerized with β‐Amyloid 1‐42 Reproducing the Pathological Cascade of Alzheimer's Disease in Human Cerebral Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) was used to mimic T2DM, and Aβ42‐hIAPP co‐oligomers were delivered into the human mature cerebral organoids (COs), which reproduce typical AD pathology and significant neuronal death more closely resembling that of AD patients.

Differential regulation of synaptic vesicle tethering and docking by UNC-18 and TOM-1

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
The assembly of SNARE complexes between syntaxin, SNAP-25 and synaptobrevin is required to prime synaptic vesicles for fusion. Since Munc18 and tomosyn compete for syntaxin interactions, the interplay between these proteins is predicted to be important ...
