Differential dopaminergic modulation of neostriatal synaptic connections of striatopallidal axon collaterals.

13 Jul 2009 Recent studies have demonstrated that GABAergic synaptic transmission among neostriatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs) is strongly modulated by dopamine with individual connections exhibiting either D(1) receptor (D(1)R)-mediated facilitation or ... Read more...

Doxorubicin augments rAAV-2 transduction in rat neuronal cells.

16 May 2009 Doxorubicin, an approved drug for cancer therapy, was recently found to be a potent agent to augment adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated transgene expression, especially in airway cells. Recombinant AAV type 2 (rAAV-2) has been shown to ... Read more...

GABAergic striatal neurons exhibit caspase-independent, mitochondrially mediated programmed cell death.

29 Apr 2009 GABAergic striatal neurons are compromised in basal ganglia pathologies and we analysed how insult nature determined their patterns of injury and recruitment of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway during programmed cell death (PCD). Stressors ... Read more...
