Powering the social brain: Mitochondria in social behaviour

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen, Silvie Rosalie Ruigrok

A central role of brain mitochondria in regulating and influencing social behaviour is emerging. In addition to its important roles as the "powerhouses" of the cell, mitochondria possess a plethora of cellular functions, such as regulating ion homeostasis, ...

Interfacing aptamer-modified nanopipettes with neuronal media and ex vivo brain tissue

Nako Nakatsuka, Anna Burdina, Annina Stuber

Aptamer-functionalized biosensors exhibit high selectivity for monitoring neurotransmitters in complex environments. We translated nanoscale aptamer-modified nanopipette sensors to detect endogenous dopamine release in vitro and ex vivo. These sensors empl ...

Dopamine Transporter, PhosphoSerine129 alpha-Synuclein and alpha-Synuclein Levels in Aged LRRK2 G2019S Knock-In and Knock-Out Mice

Salvatore Novello, Chiara Domenicale

The G2019S mutation in leucine rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a major cause of familial Parkinson's disease. We previously reported that G2019S knock-in mice manifest dopamine transporter dysfunction and phosphoSerine129 alpha-synuclein (pSer129 alpha-syn ...

Sensing serotonin secreted from human serotonergic neurons using aptamer-modified nanopipettes

Nako Nakatsuka, Dmitry Momotenko

The serotonergic system in the human brain modulates several physiological processes, and altered serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in the neuropathology of several psychiatric disorders. The study of serotonergic neurotransmission in psyc ...

Distinguishing dopamine and calcium responses using XNA-nanotube sensors for improved neurochemical sensing

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci, Daniel Eduardo Morales Garza

To date, the engineering of single-stranded DNA-SWCNT (DNA-SWCNT) optical biosensors have largely focused on creating sensors for new applications with little focus on optimising existing sensors for in vitro and in vivo conditions. Recent studies have sho ...

Extended Gate Field Effect Transistor Based Sensor for Detection of Trace Amounts of Anti-Depressant Drug

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Shokoofeh Sheibani

Citalopram hydrobromide (CP) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of the depressive disorder. In this work, a novel label-free recognition method based on an extended gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) for selective determination ...

Safinamide inhibits in vivo glutamate release in a rat model of Parkinson's disease

Salvatore Novello

To investigate whether the reversible MAO-B inhibitor and sodium channel blocker safinamide impairs glutamate release under parkinsonian conditions in vivo, and this effect is dependent on MAO-B inhibition, safinamide (and rasagiline as a comparator) were ...

Macrocycle synthesis strategy based on step-wise “adding and reacting” three components enables screening of large combinatorial libraries

Christian Heinis, Gerardo Turcatti, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Carl Leonard Stenbratt

Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...
