While researchers have uncovered many details regarding the roles these SCs play, little is known about how they interact with the muscle's connecting site for motor neuron signalling; the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The NMJ is composed of a coral-like arrangement of acetylcholine receptors (...
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a well-studied chemical synapse and has served as a tractable model system to clarify how synapse formation occurs. Pro... F.,Ono - 《Science Signaling》 被引量: 23发表: 2008年 Imaging/ImaginingAirForceIdentity:"Hap"Arnold,WarnerBros.,andtheFormationoftheUS...
Bacterial metabolism is comprised of primary metabolites, the intracellular molecules of life that enable growth and proliferation, and secondary metabolites, predominantly extracellular molecules that facilitate a microbe’s interaction with its environment. While our knowledge of primary metabolism and its w...

which brings the prey in a relaxed and sedated state. Contulakin-G assists in this nirvana cabal. Another possibility is that some components of the venom are reserved for defensive processes. Since Glu is a neurotransmitter at the invertebrate neuromuscular junction, injection of a potent glutamat...
Some of the latter appear to support high anabolic activity in the gland, rather than having toxic functions. Overall, the most abundant organic metabolite was citric acid, owing to its predominance in viperine and crotaline venoms, where it chelates divalent cations to prevent venom degradation by...
A cholinergic crisis is a situation in which one of the body's neuromuscular junction points becomes excessively stimulated. This...
