Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor expression and functionality in postmortem frontal cortex of subjects with schizophrenia: Selective biased agonism via Gαi1-proteins
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Serotonin 5-HT2A receptors (5-HT(2A)Rs) have been implicated in schizophrenia. However, postmortem studies on 5-HT(2A)Rs expression and functionality in schizophrenia are scarce. The 5-HT2AR mRNA and immunoreactive protein ...
Next-Generation Proteomics of Brain Extracellular Vesicles in Schizophrenia Provide New Clues on the Altered Molecular Connectome
(MDPI, 2024-01-08)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membranous structures that mediate intercellular communication. The role(s) of these vesicles have been widely investigated in the context of neurological diseases; however, their ...
Permissive epigenetic regulatory mechanisms at the histone level are enhanced in postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of individuals with schizophrenia
(Canadian College of Neuropsychopharmacology, 2024-02)
Background: Susceptibility to schizophrenia is determined by interactions between genes and environment, possibly via epigenetic mechanisms. Schizophrenia has been associated with a restrictive epigenome, and histone ...
Maternal Immune Activation Induces Cortical Catecholaminergic Hypofunction and Cognitive Impairments in Offspring
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Background
Impairment of specific cognitive domains in schizophrenia has been associated with prefrontal cortex (PFC) catecholaminergic deficits. Among other factors, prenatal exposure to infections represents an ...
Isolation and Differentiation of Neurons and Glial Cells from Olfactory Epithelium in Living Subjects
(Springer Nature, 2023)
The study of psychiatric and neurological diseases requires the substrate in which the disorders occur, that is, the nervous tissue. Currently, several types of human bio-specimens are being used for research, including ...
