Insights into channel function via channel dysfunction.
The nicotinic synapse has been a touchstone for advances in neuroscience ever since Jean Nicot, the French ambassador to Portugal, sent some tobacco seeds home to Paris in 1550 with a note that the New World plant had interesting effects when smoked. Now the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a well-studied example of ligand-gated ion channels. After a motor neuron is stimulated...
متن کاملInsights into LRRK2 function and dysfunction from transgenic and knockout rodent models.
Mutations in the LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2) gene on chromosome 12 cause autosomal dominant PD (Parkinson's disease), which is indistinguishable from sporadic forms of the disease. Numerous attempts have therefore been made to model PD in rodents via the transgenic expression of LRRK2 and its mutant variants and to elucidate the function of LRRK2 by knocking out rodent Lrrk2. Although ...
متن کاملInsights Into Normal and Abnormal Cardiac Physiology
We examined vena cava Doppler flow velocity tracings from 69 fetuses between 22 and 40 weeks' gestation. Twenty-three fetuses had arrhythmias. Fifteen fetuses had absent end-diastolic Doppler velocities in the umbilical artery, a condition associated with intrauterine growth retardation, and 15 normal fetuses with normal umbilical artery Doppler velocity ratios were matched by gestational age. ...
متن کاملInsights into channel dysfunction from modelling and molecular dynamics simulations
Developments in structural biology mean that the number of different ion channel structures has increased significantly in recent years. Structures of ion channels enable us to rationalize how mutations may lead to channelopathies. However, determining the structures of ion channels is still not trivial, especially as they necessarily exist in many distinct functional states. Therefore, the use...
متن کاملInsights into the Nutritional Physiology of Nickel
Nickel (Ni) is essential for plants, yet its physiological role is poorly understood. Ni-deficient and Ni-sufficient pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] trees were compared regarding the impact of Ni nutritional status on reduced nitrogen (N) forms present in xylem sap at spring bud break. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of xylem sap of Ni-sufficient trees found organic...
