Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) are a class of specialized microdomains that compartmentalize several signal transduction processes. In this work, DRMs were isolated from cerebral cortex synaptic endings (Syn) on the ...

In this work we study the state of phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (PI3K/Akt/GSK3 beta) signaling during oxidative injury triggered by free iron using cerebral cortex synaptic endings isolated ...

The synaptic tagging and capture theory (STC) was postulated by Frey and Morris in 1997 and provided a strong framework to explain how to achieve synaptic specificity and persistence of electrophysiological-induced plasticity ...

Abstract The synaptic tagging and capture theory (STC) was postulated by Frey and Morris in 1997 and provided a strong framework to explain how to achieve synaptic specificity and persistence of electrophysiological-induced ...

The classical view of synapses as the functional contact between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons has been challenged in recent years by the emerging regulatory role of glial cells. Astrocytes, traditionally considered ...

The two‐electrode voltage clamp technique was employed to measure end‐plate currents in larval neuromuscular junctions of wild‐type (Canton‐S) and of three different Drosophila Shaker mutants: ShakerKS133, Shaker102 and ...

The mechanisms underlying improvement of neuromuscular transmission deficits by glucocorticoids are still a matter of debate despite these compounds have been used for decades in the treatment of autoimmune myasthenic ...
