In rodent cerebral cortex, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is contained in a homogeneous population of radially oriented bipolar interneurons. We have observed that 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a K+-channel blocker, promotes a concentration- and Ca2+-depend ...
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop receptor family are key players in fast signal transduction throughout the nervous system. They have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not ...
The last decade has seen a strong proliferation of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases based on increasing cellular NAD(+) bioavailability. Among them, the dietary supplementation with NAD(+) precursors-classicall ...
Nd-Nickelate (NNO), Nd1.95NiO4+delta, an alternative solid oxide fuel cell cathode material, has been imaged and mapped in 3D using synchrotron-based x-ray nanotomography. The NNO cathode material, which suffered from silicon contamination during fabricati ...
As a result of ubiquitous excretion by micro-organisms, extracellular polymeric substances are reported in high concentrations in marine systems. The majority of this material is exopolysaccharide (EPS). Despite previous studies showing that EPS can affect ...
A number of bacterial virulence factors have been observed to adopt structures similar to that of aerolysin, the principal toxin of Aeromonas species. However, a comprehensive description of architecture and structure of the aerolysin-like superfamily has ...
The tyrosinase gene family encompasses three members, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1 (Tyrp1) and dopachrome tautomerase (Dct), which encode for proteins implicated in melanin synthesis. In human and mouse, genomic organization is known for all th ...
