American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Synapsin selectively controls the mobility of resting pool vesicles at hippocampal terminals [PDF]
, 2012 Presynaptic terminals are specialized sites for information transmission where vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane and are locally recycled. Recent work has extended this classical view, with the observation that a subset of functional vesicles is ...

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Regulation of synaptic vesicle docking by different classes of macromolecules in active zone material. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The docking of synaptic vesicles at active zones on the presynaptic plasma membrane of axon terminals is essential for their fusion with the membrane and exocytosis of their neurotransmitter to mediate synaptic impulse transmission.

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels Activated by Evoked Released Protons Modulate Synaptic Transmission at the Mouse Calyx of Held Synapse [PDF]
, 2017 Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases. We found that these channels can be activated in neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) of the auditory system in ...

Synaptic Vesicle Dynamics sans Dynamin [PDF]
Neuron, 2007 The neuron-specific guanosine triphosphatase dynamin 1 has been hypothesized to be critically required for pinching off synaptic vesicles during endocytosis. In a recent publication in Science, Ferguson et al. describe a series of experiments demonstrating an unexpectedly selective requirement of dynamin 1 in synaptic vesicle endocytosis only during ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging
