In particular, the finding that acetylcholine-receptor antagonists have an antiproliferative effect on neural stem cells has important implications for the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer ...
Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps to activate muscles ...
Anticholinergics prevent the increases in intracellular concentration of Ca++ which is caused by interaction of acetylcholine with the muscarinic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle. The ...
the researchers traced the problem to reduced activation of nicotinic receptors by acetylcholine, another neurotransmitter important for decision-making. The study helps to explain the ...
