TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss synthesis and characterization of GBMs as well as human and environmental hazard assessment of GBM using in vitro and in vivo model systems with the aim to understand the properties that underlie the biological effects of these materials; not all GBMs are alike, and it is essential that disentangle the structure-activity relationships for this class of materials.
Neurotrophins stimulate phosphorylation of synapsin I by MAP kinase and regulate synapsin I-actin interactions (synaptic transmissionysynaptic plasticityysynaptic vesicle proteinsysignal transductionysynaptogenesis)

TL;DR: It is reported here that synapsin I is a downstream effector for the neurotrophin/Trk/MAP kinase cascade and may contribute to the modulation of synaptic plasticity by neurotrophins and by other signaling pathways that converge at the level of MAP kinase activation.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that MAP kinase-dependent phosphorylation of synapsin I significantly reduced its ability to promote G-actin polymerization and to bundle actin filaments.

TL;DR: Three physical-chemical properties of GBMs have been defined by the GRAPHENE Flagship Project of the European Union for the unequivocal classification of these materials (see grid).
Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptophysin: Leading actor or walk-on role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis?
TL;DR: The main results of the studies on Syp are summarized, and it is explained why it is believed that Syp plays a major role in SV trafficking.
