Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signalling.
Vladimir Parpura,Trent A. Basarsky,Fang Liu,Ksenija Jeftinija,Srdija Jeftinija,Philip G. Haydon +5 more
TL;DR: Astrocytes regulate neuronal calcium levels through the calcium-dependent release of glutamate, and an NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor-mediated increase in neuronal calcium is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mesoporous silica nanosphere-based carrier system with chemically removable CdS nanoparticle caps for stimuli-responsive controlled release of neurotransmitters and drug molecules.
Cheng-Yu Lai,Brian G. Trewyn,Dusan M. Jeftinija,Ksenija Jeftinija,Shu Xu,Srdija Jeftinija,Victor S.-Y. Lin +6 more
TL;DR: An MCM-41 type mesoporous silica nanosphere-based controlled-release delivery system has been synthesized and characterized using surface-derivatized cadmium sulfide nanocrystals as chemically removable caps to encapsulate several pharmaceutical drug molecules and neurotransmitters inside the organically functionalized MSN Mesoporous framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
A polyamidoamine dendrimer-capped mesoporous silica nanosphere-based gene transfection reagent.
Daniela Rodica Radu,Cheng-Yu Lai,Ksenija Jeftinija,Eric W. Rowe,Srdija Jeftinija,Victor S.-Y. Lin +5 more
TL;DR: The G2-PAMAM-capped MSN material (G2-MSN) was used to complex with a plasmid DNA (pEGFP-C1) that encodes for an enhanced green fluorescence protein that renders the possibility to serve as a universal transmembrane carrier for intracellular drug delivery and imaging applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
ATP stimulates calcium-dependent glutamate release from cultured astrocytes.
TL;DR: The results suggest that ATP stimulates excitatory amino acid release from astrocytes via a calcium‐dependent anion‐transport sensitive mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and dynamics of the fusion pores in live GH-secreting cells revealed using atomic force microscopy.
Sang-Joon Cho,Ksenija Jeftinija,Aleksandra Glavaski,Srdija Jeftinija,Bhanu P. Jena,Lloyd L. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of pits and pits containing 100-200 nm in diameter depressions or fusion pores and their involvement in secretions in a neuroendocrine cell are documents for the first time.
