Combining robotics with enhanced serotonin-driven cortical plasticity improves post-stroke motor recovery

Silvestro Micera

Despite recent progresses in robotic rehabilitation technologies, their efficacy for post-stroke motor recovery is still limited. Such limitations might stem from the insufficient enhancement of plasticity mechanisms, crucial for functional recovery. Here, ...

Optimisation of aqueous synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were prepared via aqueous synthesis which combines alkaline co-precipitation (CP) of ferric and ferrous precursors with mild hydrothermal (HT) treatment without cupping agents (CA). In this novel synthesis route, CP + HT, w ...

A Gating Mechanism of the Serotonin 5-HT3 Receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Our recently solved high-resolution structure of the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) delivered the first detailed structural insights for a mammalian pentameric ligand-gated ion channel. Based on this structure, we here performed a total of 2.8-μs all-at ...

Mechanistic Studies on the Stereoselectivity of the Serotonin 5-HT1A Receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, and they have attracted considerable attention as important targets for developing new medicines. A central and largely unresolved question in drug discovery, whic ...

The electrophysiological effects of the serotonin 1A receptor agonist buspirone in emotional face processing

Fosco Bernasconi

Emotional face processing is critically modulated by the serotonergic system, and serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonists impair emotional face processing. However, the specific contribution of the 5-HT1A receptor remains poorly understood. Here we investigated ...

Natural compounds boldine and menthol are antagonists of human 5-HT

Rudolf Hovius

Background Impaired 5-HT3 receptor function is likely involved in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are effective treatments for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and irritable bow ...

Characterization of the 5HT3 receptor in live cells and in vitro : heterologous expression, isolation and reconstitution in lipid membranes

The serotonin type 3 receptor (5HT3R) is a homopentameric, cation selective channel that mediates fast excitatory transmission in the nervous system. It is a member of the Cys-loop family of receptors that include the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nACh ...

Repetitive Reversible Labeling of Proteins at Polyhistidine Sequences for Single-Molecule Imaging in Live Cells

Horst Arthur Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Jean-Manuel Segura, Emmanuel Guignet

Sensitive live-cell fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule imaging are severely limited by rapid photobleaching of fluorescent probes. Herein, we show how to circumvent this problem using a novel, generic labeling strategy. Small nickel-nitrilotriacet ...

Dynamics of the 5-HT3A serotonin receptor in living cells

Emmanuel Guignet

The 5-HT3 serotonin receptor belongs to the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) family. It is located in the central and peripheral nervous system and is implicated in certain pathologic situations. The 5-HT3 receptor is investigated here, as a typica ...
