What knock-out animals tell us about the effects of caffeine.
Caffeine is well known for its complex pharmacological actions, in part reflecting the multiple molecular targets of caffeine. The adenosine receptors are the primary extracellular targets of caffeine. Since caffeine has similar affinity for several adenosine receptors, it has been difficult to determine which receptor subtypes mediate caffeine's effects using pharmacological tools. The develop...
متن کاملWhat boundaries tell us about binding.
Early in the process of perception the visual system decomposes the visual scene into features that are processed in parallel by identifiable subsystems. At some point in the process of scene recognition, these features must be recombined to allow the perception of objects. This recombination is called 'feature integration'. Over the past twenty years, cognitive scientists have devoted much ene...
متن کاملWhat can proteomics tell us about platelets?
More than 130 years ago, it was recognized that platelets are key mediators of hemostasis. Nowadays, it is established that platelets participate in additional physiological processes and contribute to the genesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Recent data indicate that the platelet proteome, defined as the complete set of expressed proteins, comprises >5000 proteins and is highly ...
متن کاملWhat vibrations tell us about GTPases.
In this review, we discuss how time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used to understand how GTP hydrolysis is catalyzed by small GTPases and their cognate GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). By interaction with small GTPases, GAPs regulate important signal transduction pathways and transport mechanisms in cells. The GTPase reaction terminates signaling and controls tran...
متن کاملWhat neurobiology cannot tell us about addiction.
Molecular neurobiological studies have yielded enormous amounts of valuable information about neuronal response mechanisms and their adaptive changes. However, in relation to addiction this information is of limited value because almost every cell function appears to be involved. Thus it tells us only that neurons adapt to 'addictive drugs' as they do to all sorts of other functional disturbanc...
