An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)
Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to generate a rhythmic firing ...
Activation of Smad2 but not Smad3 is required to mediate TGF-β signaling during axolotl limb regeneration
(2016-10-01)
Axolotls are unique among vertebrates in their ability to regenerate
tissues, such as limbs, tail and skin. The axolotl limb is the most
studied regenerating structure. The process is well characterized
morphologically; ...
A swelling of the lateral hard palate
(2016-10-19)
Oral-facial tissue reconstruction in the regenerative axolotl
(2016-12)
Absence of large amounts of orofacial tissues caused by cancerous resections, congenital
defects or trauma result in sequelae such as dysphagia and noticeable scars. Oral-neck tissue
regeneration was studied in the axolotl ...
Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)
Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We
asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes.
Methodology/Principal Findings: ...
Drug-induced parkinsonism: diagnosis and management
(2016-09-23)
Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) has been known for >60 years. It is the second leading cause of parkinsonism, but still underdiagnosis is likely to influence reported incidence figures. Since DIP is clinically undistinguishable ...
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)
Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern and ability to encode ...
Integration of oral health into primary care : a scoping review protocol
(2016-10-18)
Integrated care has been introduced as a means of improving health outcomes and access to care, and reducing the cost of healthcare. Despite its importance, the integration of oral health into primary care is still an ...
Neonatal low-protein diet reduces the masticatory efficiency in rats
(2015-09)
Little is known about the effects of undernutrition on the specific muscles and neuronal circuits involved in mastication. The aim of this study was to
document the effects of neonatal low-protein diet on masticatory ...
