Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]
Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.

Infection in a Geriatric Patient: Do Not Let Your Guard Off! [PDF]
Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by Clostridium tetani toxin. Although easily preventable through vaccination, over 73,000 new infections and 35,000 deaths due to tetanus occurred worldwide in 2019, with higher rates in countries with healthcare ...

Epileptic high-frequency network activity in a model of non-lesional temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
High-frequency cortical activity, particularly in the 250–600 Hz (fast ripple) band, has been implicated in playing a crucial role in epileptogenesis and seizure generation. Fast ripples are highly specific for the seizure initiation zone.

Novel Small Molecule Inhibitors That Prevent the Neuroparalysis of Tetanus Neurotoxin
Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is a protein exotoxin produced by Clostridium tetani that causes the deadly spastic neuroparalysis of tetanus. It consists of a metalloprotease light chain and of a heavy chain linked via a disulphide bond.

Studies on Tetanus Toxin and Toxoid IV. Interaction of Formaldehyde with Tetanus Toxin [PDF]
The binding of formaldehyde with tetanus toxin under mild detoxificatIOn conditions (0 ·1M phosphate buffer, pH 7· 0, O· 005-0· 06M HCHO, 20-37°C) has been studied quantitatively by using [14C]formaldehyde. When detoxification was followed with time (0· 005M HCHO, 37°C) the toxin showed a characteristic immediate drop in lethality (~80%), followed by a

From Bacterial Poisons to Toxins: The Early Works of Pasteurians
We review some of the precursor works of the Pasteurians in the field of bacterial toxins. The word “toxin” was coined in 1888 by Ludwig Brieger to qualify different types of poison released by bacteria.

Millimolar concentrations of free magnesium enhance exocytosis from permeabilized rat pheochromocytoma (PC 12) cells [PDF]
The role of Mg2+ during the final steps of exocytosis was investigated using rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) permeabilized with bacterial pore forming toxins.
