Cover Article: Biotinylated targeting. A viable option?

For the IB4-SAP (Cat. #IT-10) illustration (Figure 1), our thanks to Christopher N. Honda, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience, University ofMinnesota, 6-145 Jackson Hall, 321 Church Street, Minneapolis, MN 55455 This issue of our quarterly newsletter addresses the use of biotinylated materials in targeting. ATS is now offering a biotinylation service (see p. 7) […]

See what it’s all about: Melanopsin, retinal cells

In 1997, Melanopsin was discovered by Dr. Ignacio Provencio as a novel opsin in the melanophores (light-sensitive skin cells) of the African clawed frog.[1]  Provencio and colleagues then found in 2000 that melanopsin is also present in mouse retina, specifically in ganglion cells, and that it mediates non-visual photoreceptive tasks.[2]   Melanopsin has since been found to be

Cover Article: IB4-SAP Prevents Axotomy-Induced Sprouting of Aß Fibers

Contributed by ATS’s 2004 Society for Neuroscience Poster of the Year Award Winner:Michelle Pearson, Purdue Pharma, Discovery Research, 6 Cedar Brook Drive, Cranbury NJ 08540 Neuropathic pain results in hyperalgesia and allodynia. It has been proposed that sprouting of myelinated touch-responsive Aβ-fibers into the innervation territory of pain-sensitive C-fibers in the spinal cord contributes to

Cover Article: Inducing Central Sensitization with a Substance P/ Cholera Toxin Conjugate

Contributed by Robert M. Caudle, Ph.D.University of Florida College of Dentistry, Gainesville, FL 32610 A substantial amount of work with Advanced Targeting Systems’ substance P/saporin conjugate (SP-SAP, Cat. #IT-07) has demonstrated that neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor-expressing neurons in the spinal cord and brain stem are necessary for the full expression of central sensitization following a peripheral

Cover Article: Cholinergic Deafferentation of the Entorhinal Cortex Impairs Working Memory for Novel, but not Familiar Stimuli in a Delayed Non-Match to Sample (DNMS) Task.

Contributed by ATS’s 2003 Society for Neuroscience Poster of the Year Award Winner:Dr. Jill McGaughy, Boston University, 64 Cummington St., Boston, MA 02215 Muscarinic cholinergic receptor activation in entorhinal cortex (EC) activates intrinsic depolarizing membrane currents, which cause self-sustained spiking activity in single neurons.[1] This effect may underlie delay activity and match-dependent activity changes in
