Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Proneurotrophin-3 contributes to chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain through TrkC-mediated CCL2 elevation in DRG neurons

EMBO Reports
Cancer patients undergoing treatment with antineoplastic drugs often experience chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP), and therapeutic options for managing CINP are limited.

The central benefit of physiologically induced ketogenic states

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This review describes the association between ketogenic states induced by physiological interventions such as fasting or aerobic exercise, exogenous ketone supply and ketogenic diets, as well as increased cognition through increased activity of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

WITHDRAWN ARTICLE: NT-3 contributes to chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain through TrkC-mediated CCL2 elevation in DRG neurons

EMBO Reports
Cancer patients undergoing treatment with antineoplastic drugs often experience chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP), and the therapeutic options for managing CINP are limited. Here, we show that systemic paclitaxel administration upregulates the

Membrane Receptor-Induced Changes of the Protein Kinases A and C Activity May Play a Leading Role in Promoting Developmental Synapse Elimination at the Neuromuscular Junction

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Synapses that are overproduced during histogenesis in the nervous system are eventually lost and connectivity is refined. Membrane receptor signaling leads to activity-dependent mutual influence and competition between axons directly or with the ...

Plasmodium falciparum ligand binding to erythrocytes induce alterations in deformability essential for invasion [PDF]

, 2017
The most lethal form of malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites invade erythrocytes, a complex process involving multiple ligand-receptor interactions.

Early sensorimotor restriction in rats induces age‐dependent mitochondrial alterations in skeletal muscles and brain structures

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study aimed to determine whether early sensorimotor restriction (SMR) alters mitochondrial enzyme activities in rat muscles and brain structures. SMR was induced via immobilizing the hind limbs of pups for 16 h per day during the dark phase from birth to postnatal day (PND) 28.

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]

, 2017
The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.

The link between sarcopenic obesity and Alzheimer's disease: a brain‐derived neurotrophic factor point of view

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the age‐related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that often leads to the progression of comorbidities, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Though the exact link between the two diseases is unknown, alterations in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be a contributor.
