Heterogeneity of presynaptic proteins: do not forget isoforms

TL;DR: It is shown that the possibility that not all families of presynaptic proteins are expressed in all terminals must be taken into serious account and the expression of a given protein isoform in a terminal does not exclude theexpression of other isoforms of the same protein in the same terminal and in theSame vesicle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational Assessment of Different Structural Models for Claudin-5 Complexes in Blood–Brain Barrier Tight Junctions

TL;DR: By identifying the protein-protein surface at the core of TJ Cldn5 assemblies, this computational investigation provides a basis for the rational design of synthetic peptides and other molecules capable of opening paracellular pores in the BBB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescence approaches to the study of the actin-nucleating and bundling activities of synapsin I

TL;DR: It is suggested that synapsin I exerts a control on the physical characteristics of the cytoskeletal network of the nerve terminal and is consistent with the proposed role of synapin I in mediating the interaction of synaptic vesicles with actin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The enhancement of activity rescues the establishment of Mecp2 null neuronal phenotypes.

TL;DR: In this article, the enhancement of neuronal activity during early maturation might prevent the onset of Rett syndrome (RTT) by adding to neuronal cultures Ampakine CX546, rescues transcription of several genes, neuronal morphology, and responsiveness to stimuli.
