Glutamate-Releasing SWELL1 Channel in Astrocytes Modulates Synaptic Transmission and Promotes Brain Damage in Stroke

TL;DR: During pathological cell swelling, deletion of astrocytic Swell1 attenuated glutamate-dependent neuronal excitability and protected mice from brain damage after ischemic stroke and provides a rationale for targeting VRAC for the treatment of stroke and other neurological diseases associated with excitotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

PAC, an evolutionarily conserved membrane protein, is a proton-activated chloride channel

TL;DR: The wide expression of PAC suggests a broad role for this conserved Cl− channel family in physiological and pathological processes associated with acidic pH, which is one of the hallmarks of many diseases including ischemia, cancer, and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Method to Image Macropinocytosis in Vivo.

TL;DR: The microinjection of fluorescence dextrans together with or without ATPγS into transparent Drosophila melanogaster embryos provides a continent and reliable way for investigating macropinocytosis and its underlying mechanisms, especially when combined with genetic strategies.
