Abstract

The effects of age and chronic low-level lead exposure were studied on (a) [3H]IP3 and [3H]Ry binding to their respective receptors in brain membranes and (b) Ca2+ release from internal Ca2+ stores in brain synaptosomes obtained from the neonatal and adult rats. [3H]IP3 and [3H]Ry binding sites in the control-adult membranes were greater than those in the control-neonatal membranes. [3H]IP3 bound to a single high-affinity site, IP3-R. Ca2+ decreased [3H]IP3 binding to its receptor. [3H]Ry bound to at least four subspecies of Ry-Rs. KCl and IP3 increased, but Ca2+ caused a biphasic affect on [3H]Ry binding in brain membranes. IP1 and caffeine both caused greater increase in [Ca2+]I in the adult synaptosomes than the neonatal synaptosomes. IP4 redistributed Ca2+ from the caffeine-sensitive pool to the IP3-sensitive pool. IP3 increased the caffeine-induced mobilization of Ca2+ in synaptosomes. Chronic low-level lead exposure decreased the binding of [3H]IP3 to its receptors in membranes, attenuated the IP3-induced Ca2+ mobilization in synaptosomes, abolished the IP4-induced redistribution of Ca2+ from Ry sensitive Ca2+ store to IP3-sensitive Ca2+ store, and attenuated the effects of IP1 on [Ca2+]I in caffeine stimulated synaptosom...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
