A pathway once considered fundamental in Alzheimer’s disease is being studied intensely again, and may soon result in safer, ...

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are a type of receptor in the brain that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. They play a crucial role in various brain functions, including ...

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 ...

Scientists have come up with a drug that is a potential candidate for tackling memory deficits in the early stages of the disease in rodents. Research shows that the drug activates the cannabinoid ...
