Article Synopsis
- The effectiveness of inhibitory neurotransmission in neurons is influenced by chloride levels, which are controlled by cation-chloride cotransporters NKCC1 and KCC2, with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) playing a significant role in their function.
- This study explored how both precursor BDNF (proBDNF) and mature BDNF (mBDNF) affect chloride regulation in immature rat neurons and their impact on behavior, finding that both forms inhibit chloride extrusion.
- Results indicate that proBDNF enhances the endocytosis of KCC2 and causes sensory and behavioral issues in developing rats, highlighting BDNF's important role in regulating chloride transport and inhibitory synaptic transmission.
, a predominant yeast genus of grape musts, includes sister species recently reported as fast evolving. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relationships between the four most closely related species, at the population level. A multi-locus sequence typing strategy based on five markers was applied on 107 strains, confirming the clear delineation of species , and .
