Ca2+ is an ion of utmost importance for the maintenance of numerous processes in the central nervous system (CNS), including neuronal development and synaptic communication and plasticity. In the mitochondrial matrix, Ca2+ induces the activity of many enzymes associated with energy metabolism, thus coupling ATP production to energetic demands under different stimuli. Hence, mitochondrial …
First characterized as a tumor suppressor, the role of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) on other cellular processes - such as proliferation, migration and survival - has been assessed more recently, showing a potential modulatory effect over neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.The hippocampus is an important region for cognition - with a crucial function on …
First discovered by its tumor suppressor function, the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) has been deeply studied due to its influence over cellular proliferation, survival, and migration processes, thus showing great potential as a modulator of neurogenesis - both in embryological and adult lives - and potentially of synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, it is wel…
Ca2+ is an ion of seminal importance not only in the context of excitotoxicity, but also physiologically, participating in many key processes in the central nervous system, including dendritic development, synaptogenesis, neurotransmitter release, and synaptic plasticity. Ca2+ ions can also act as a marker for activity regarding energetic demands, and are an important regulator of metabol…
