Acetylcholine is a transmitter in preganglionic autonomic and postganglionic
parasympathetic nerves and a non-neuronal paracrine mediator in the alimentary tract …

Neuromuscular blockade plays an important role in the safe management of patient airways,
surgical field improvement, and respiratory care. Rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia is …

G-protein coupled receptors are not considered to exhibit voltage sensitivity. Here, using
Xenopus oocytes, we show that the M 2 muscarinic receptor (m2R) is voltage-sensitive. The …

We studied the presynaptic muscarinic autoreceptor subtypes controlling ACh release and
their relationship with voltage‐dependent calcium channels in the neuromuscular synapses …

There are two principal mechanisms of acetylcholine (ACh) release from the resting motor
nerve terminal: quantal and nonquantal (NQR); the former being only a small fraction of the …

The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialised chemical synapse involved in
the transmission of bioelectric signals between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes neuron survival in adulthood in the
central nervous system. In the peripheral nervous system, BDNF is a contraction-inducible …

We have used intracellular recording to investigate the existence of a functional link
between muscarinic presynaptic acetylcholine (ACh) autoreceptors, the intracellular serine …

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) play an important role in regulating the
release of acetylcholine (ACh) in various tissues. We used subtype‐specific antibodies and …

The neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) and the
receptors tropomyosin-related kinase B (trkB) and p75NTR are present in the nerve …
