Figure 1: Endocrine cells in human pancreatic islets express cholinergic markers. Figure 2: Human alpha cells express vAChT and ChAT. Figure 3: Isolated human islets secrete acetylcholine (ACh) in ...

Acetylcholine regulates blood flow, but the source of blood acetylcholine has been unclear. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that certain T cells in human blood can produce ...

Karolinska Institutet researchers identified dopamine-acetylcholine disruptions in the basal ganglia as key contributors to autism-related behavioral inflexibility. Using advanced techniques like ...

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator with a central role in aversive learning - rapid conditioning to unpleasant smell, taste, or touch. These learning functions play out in cells called D2 ...

In a new study, a group of researchers, led by Dr. Joshua Goldberg from the Hebrew University, describe a new kind of neurochemical wave in the brain. Their research, published in Nature ...

More than 60% of complement inhibitor–naive patients with acetylcholine receptor–positive generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) in diverse clinical populations had a clinically meaningful reduction in MG ...

How we process sensory stimuli from the world around us is intricately modulated so that we sense what we want and discard the rest to avoid overtaxing our neural systems. A new study reports, ...

A University of Queensland-led study has found Australian skinks have evolved molecular armor to stop snake venom from shutting down their muscles. The research has been published in the International ...
