Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

Current status and future directions of botulinum neurotoxins for targeting pain processing. [PDF]
Current evidence suggests that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A1 and B1, given locally into peripheral tissues such as skin, muscles, and joints, alter nociceptive processing otherwise initiated by inflammation or nerve injury in animal models and humans.

Significance Botulism is induced by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). At neuromuscular junctions, BoNT/B binds to dual receptors: a plasma membrane resident polysialoganglioside and synaptotagmin, a synaptic vesicle protein transiently inserted ...

Deep learning tissue mapping can guide region of interest selection for spatial transcriptomic analyses. Using this method, a transcriptional catalogue of focal cortical dysplasia type IIb was generated, revealing enrichment for markers of inhibitory glycinergic signaling in cytomegalic dysmorphic neurons.

We investigated whether cortical glutamatergic and GABAergic release machineries can be differentiated on the basis of the nature and amount of proteins they express, by performing a quantitative analysis of the degree of co-localization of synaptotagmin

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

The rab3A-22A chimera prevents sperm exocytosis by stabilizing open fusion pores [PDF]
At the final stage of exocytotis, a fusion pore opens between the plasma and a secretory vesicle membranes; typically, when the pore dilates the vesicle releases its cargo.

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder
Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and

C-terminal ECFP fusion impairs synaptotagmin 1 function: crowding out synaptotagmin 1.
To allow the monitoring of synaptotagmin 1 trafficking in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing a synaptotagmin 1-enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) fusion protein under control of the Thy1 promoter. Transgenic synaptotagmin 1-ECFP is expressed throughout the brain where it localizes to synapses and marks synapses in vivo.
