Fate and effects of microplastic particles in a periphyton-grazer system
Kristin Schirmer, Ahmed Tlili, Renata Behra
In the aquatic environment, microplastic particles (MP) can accumulate in microbial communities that cover submerged substrata, i.e. in periphyton. Despite periphyton being the essential food source for grazers in the benthic zones, MP transfer from periph ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Leveraging biomedical informatics for assessing plasticity and repair in primate spinal cord injury
Recent preclinical advances highlight the therapeutic potential of treatments aimed at boosting regeneration and plasticity of spinal circuitry damaged by spinal cord injury (SCI). With several promising candidates being considered for translation into cli ...
Elsevier Science Bv2015Natural compounds boldine and menthol are antagonists of human 5-HT
Background Impaired 5-HT3 receptor function is likely involved in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are effective treatments for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and irritable bow ...
2014The Receptor TGR5 Mediates the Prokinetic Actions of Intestinal Bile Acids and Is Required for Normal Defecation in Mice
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Abnormal delivery of bile acids (BAs) to the colon as a result of disease or therapy causes constipation or diarrhea by unknown mechanisms. The G protein-coupled BA receptor TGR5 (or GPBAR1) is expressed by enteric neurons and endocrine ...
W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc2013IR electrochromics from block copolymer-architectured doped metal oxide nanocrystals
Total energy consumption by com. and residential buildings in the US nears 40 Quads. Approx. 1/3 of that energy use is due to space heating and cooling. Recent anal. of materials that comprise the building envelope would benefit from smarter windows that m ...
American Chemical Society2013Direct electric stimulation using a battery-operated device for induction and modulation of colonic contractions in pigs
Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter, Pavel Kucera, Mattia Bertschi
Direct electrical stimulation of the colon offers a promising approach for the induction of propulsive colonic contractions by using an implantable device. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility to induce colonic contractions using a com ...
Springer Verlag2010Serotonin receptor diversity in the human colon: Expression of serotonin type 3 receptor subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E
Since the first description of 5-HT3 receptors more than 50 years ago, there has been speculation about the molecular basis of their receptor heterogeneity. We have cloned the genes encoding novel 5-HT3 subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E and have shown th ...
