The specificity of synapses in the mammalian brain cannot possibly be accounted for by one-
to-one biochemical matching. The alternative proposed in this article is that connections are …

The components of biological membranes are asymmetrically distributed between the
membrane surfaces. Proteins are absolutely asymmetrical in that every copy of a …

Rabies virus was found on mouse diaphragms and on cultured chick myotubes in a
distribution coinciding with that of the acetylcholine receptor. Treatment of the myotubes with …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

A major hurdle in defining the molecular biology of nicotine addiction has been
characterizing the different nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes in the brain …

A series of ceramide analogues bearing the fluorophore boron dipyrromethene difluoride
(BODIPY) were synthesized and evaluated as vital stains for the Golgi apparatus, and as …

HRP has been used as a cytochemical marker for a sterelogic analysis of pinocytic vesicles
and secondary lysosomes in cultivated macrophages and L cells. Evidence is presented that …

Motor neurons stimulate their postsynaptic muscle targets to synthesize neurotransmitter
receptors. Polypeptide signaling molecules may mediate this inductive interaction. Here we …

125I-labeled human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) binds in a specific and saturable
manner to human fibroblasts. At 37 degrees C, the cell-bound 125I-hEGF initially may be …

We have made direct, quantitative measurements of the lateral motion and age-dependent
distribution of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) on the surface of rat myotubes in primary …
