An early injury response to retinal detachment is disruption of synaptic connectivity between photoreceptors and second-order neurons. Most dramatic is the retraction of rod cell axons and their terminals away from the outer synaptic layer and toward their cell bodies.
Adenylyl cyclase (AC) modulation of vesicular cycling was visualized at cultured cerebellar granule cell synapses using the sequential uptake of antibodies directed against the intraluminal domain of synaptotagmin I. Vesicle recycling due to spontaneous transmitter release in the absence of
Persistent pathogens have evolved to avoid elimination by the mammalian immune system including mechanisms to evade complement. Infections with African trypanosomes can persist for years and cause human and animal disease throughout sub-Saharan Africa. It is not known how trypanosomes

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signal pathway mediates pro-survival function in neurons. In the retina, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is related to the early pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Signaling molecules in the membrane-initiated signaling pathway exhibiting neuroprotective function interacts with the PI3K/Akt pathway

Although the skeletal muscle sodium channel is a good substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), no functional consequence was observed for this channel expressed in heterologous systems. Therefore, we investigated the effect of 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP), a membrane-permeable cAMP
