Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Ca2+-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes of the BACHD Huntington’s disease mouse model
William Lee,Reno C. Reyes,Manoj K. Gottipati,Karon Lewis,Mathieu Lesort,Vladimir Parpura,Vladimir Parpura,Michelle Gray +7 more
TL;DR: This work identifies a new mechanism in astrocytes that could lead to increased levels of extracellular glutamate in HD and thus may contribute to excitotoxicity in this devastating disease.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 6 - Carbon nanotubes as substrates/scaffolds for neural cell growth.
William Lee,Vladimir Parpura +1 more
TL;DR: Accumulating data support the use of CNTs as a biocompatible and permissive substrate/scaffold for neural cells and such application holds great potential in biomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic imaging of cannabinoid receptor 1 vesicular trafficking in cultured astrocytes
Kyle D Osborne,William Lee,Erik B. Malarkey,Erik B. Malarkey,Andrew J. Irving,Vladimir Parpura +5 more
TL;DR: Monitoring the trafficking of recombinant fluorescent protein chimeras of the CB1R (cannabinoid receptor 1) that is thought to be expressed natively in astrocytes found the existence of two populations of vesicularCB1R puncta, which are localized within intracellular acidic organelles, mainly co-localizing with endocytic compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of ASIC1 and ENaC subunits in human glioma cells and rat astrocytes.
Niren Kapoor,William Lee,Edlira B. Clark,Rafal Bartoszewski,Carmel M. McNicholas,Cecelia B. Latham,Zsuzsanna Bebok,Vladimir Parpura,Catherine M. Fuller,Cheryl A. Palmer,Dale J. Benos +10 more
TL;DR: High-resolution clear native gel electrophoresis data suggest that different ENaC/Deg subunits interact and could combine to form a hybrid channel that likely underlies the amiloride-sensitive current seen in human glioma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wiring neurons with carbon nanotubes.
William Lee,Vladimir Parpura +1 more
TL;DR: The nature of CNT–neuron interactions is investigated and a mechanism in which CNTs can boost neuronal activity by providing a shortcut for electrical coupling between somatic and dendritic neuronal compartments is proposed.
