MDGAs help the brain lose its inhibitions
MDGAs help the brain lose its inhibitions S ynapse development is promoted by a variety of cell adhesion molecules that connect neurons and organize synaptic proteins. Many of these adhesion molecules are linked to neuro-developmental disorders; mutations in neu-roligin and neurexin family members, for example, are associated with autism and schizophrenia. Pettem et al. reveal that another fami...
متن کاملHis-tags lighten up and lose their inhibitions.
T he ability to control molecular behavior in the four dimensions of time and space is almost uniquely afforded by light. Consequently, there has been a long history of the use of light to trigger molecular interactions in the study of biological phenomena or the creation of active biomolecules (1). One application of this principle has been in the fabrication of protein microarrays, a subset o...
متن کاملReducing Calorie Intake May Not Help You Lose Body Weight
As the widespread availability of highly calorific food has resulted in a high incidence of obesity, attempts to decrease body weight have concentrated on trying to reduce energy intake. It is suggested that this is not the best approach. Although consuming more calories than expended is part of the initial problem, it does not follow that reducing intake, unless consciously counting calories, ...
متن کاملHow did venus lose its angular momentum?
Venus now has a retrograde and negligible spin, but it very likely started with a typical planetary spin: prograde and with a 10- to 20-hour period. The usually assumed mechanism of solar tidal friction is quite insufficient to remove this angular momentum. Instead, we postulate capture of a moonlike object from an initially retrograde orbit: it would despin Venus and suddenly transform the pla...
متن کاملOvercoming inhibitions.
O rganophosphorus nerve agents and pesticides (Fig. 1) markedly increase the amount and duration of the action of acetylcholine at all of the synaptic sites where it acts, resulting in overstimulation of critical processes that can lead to incapacitation, muscle paralysis, and death. In a recent issue of PNAS, Albuquerque et al. (1) reported that a drug already in use for treating Alzheimer’s d...
