Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]

, 2008
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Nanoporous Microelectrodes for Neural Electrophysiology Recordings in Organotypic Culture

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The highly porous microelectrodes have been designed and printed on culture membranes, allowing to record electrophysiological neural activity for rodent brain slices. To keep the biocompatible nanoporous structure, the microelectrodes and insulative layer are fabricated on the bottom of culture membranes with only small connector pads added on the top.

Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]

, 2015
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.
