Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a key component of neuronal ...

Stanford University researchers developed a tissue-mimicking, stretchable sensor termed NeuroString for real-time measurement of neurotransmitter dynamics in vivo in the brain, gut, and other soft ...

Scientists have determined structures of a transporter protein involved in the movement of neurochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine, unearthing multiple mechanisms that can guide drug development ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigated whether monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are involved in hippocampal activation even during light exercise. Dopamine secreted from ...

Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited neurometabolic disorder characterised by markedly reduced synthesis of key monoamine neurotransmitters ...

Also referred to as chemical messengers, neurotransmitters are chemical agents made and released by neurons. They are stored in vesicles at the terminal end (presynaptic terminal) of a neuron. Their ...

Despite the replacement of the monoamine hypothesis of depression with a more comprehensive understanding of multiple influencing factors in the pathology of depression, it is clear that elevating ...

Your body functions using chemical messages that are directed throughout your system with specific targets. These chemical messages are carried by neurotransmitters, which act as a messenger directing ...

The overarching goal of our research is to develop a clear understanding of the molecules and pathways involved in the pathoetiology of brain disorders and to use this information to develop new ...

(Memphis, Tenn – November 1, 2023) Neurons talk to each other using chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology ...
