This article reviews current progress in studies of the relationship between the molecular structure of different subtypes of AMPA receptors and their functional properties. Differences in the subunit composition of AMPA receptors involved in glutamatergic synaptic inputs to efferent (main) neurons and interneurons are discussed with reference to neurons isolated from the hippocampus, striatum, and cerebellum. Data on the possibility of selective pharmacological actions on the ion channels of different AMPA receptor subtypes are presented; this allows these receptors to be identified and their functions to be studied in greater depth in normal and pathological conditions.

Roles of calcium in ameloblasts during tooth development: A scoping review.

J Taibah Univ Med Sci

February 2025

Department of Prosthodontics/Dental Material, Dr. Ziauddin Ahmad Dental College, Aligarh Muslim University, India.

Objectives: Calcium ions (Ca) play crucial role in tooth development, particularly in maintaining enamel density during amelogenesis. Ameloblasts require specific proteins such as amelogenin, ameloblastin, enamelin, kallikrein, and collagen for enamel growth. Recent research has highlighted the importance of calcium and fluoride ions, as well as the TRPM7, STIM, and SOCE pathways, in regulating various stages of enamel formation.

Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave-Dwelling Leech to the Karst Cave Environment.

Ecol Evol

January 2025

Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Ecological Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Wulingshan Resources College of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Jishou University Jishou Hunan China.

Karst caves are a unique environment significantly different from the external environment; adaptation of cave-dwelling animals to the cave environment is often accompanied by shifts in the sensory systems. Aquatic and terrestrial leeches have been found in the karst caves. In this study, we conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave-dwelling leech .

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are an appealing electrochemical energy storage solution due to their affordability and safety. Significant attention has been focused on vanadium oxide cathode materials for ZIBs, owing to their high specific capacity, unique layered or tunnel structures, and low cost. Compared to traditional methods for preparing and assembling electrode materials, direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering allows direct synthesis and uniform deposition on current collectors, offering advantages such as simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and strong film adhesion.
