Abstract

Inactivating and noninactivating Na+ conductances are known to generate, respectively, the rising phase and the prolonged plateau phase of cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) action potentials. These conductances have different voltage activation levels, suggesting the possibility that two distinct types of ion channels are involved. Single Purkinje cell reverse transcription-PCR from guinea pig cerebellar slices identified two Na+ channel alpha subunit transcripts, the orthologs of RBI (rat brain I) and Nach6/Scn8a. The latter we shall name CerIII. In situ hybridization histochemistry in rat brain demonstrated broad CerIII expression at high levels in many neuronal groups in the brain and spinal cord, with little if any expression in white matter, or nerve tracts. RBII (rat brain II), the most commonly studied recombinant Na+ channel alpha subunit is not expressed in PCs. As the absence of Scn8a has been correlated with motor endplate disease (med), in which transient sodium currents are spared, RBI appears to be responsible for the transient sodium current in PC. Conversely, jolting mice with a mutated Scn8a message demonstrates PC abnormalities in rapid, simple spike generation, linking CerIII to the persistent sodium current.

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.
