abstract：:We reported earlier that adenine nucleotides and adenosine inhibit acetylcholine-induced catecholamine secretion from bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin cells. In this article, we used an adenosine analogue, N6-L-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA), to study the mechanism underlying inhibition of catecholamine secretion by ...

abstract：:The subcellular localization of organelles, mRNAs and proteins is particularly challenging in neurons. Owing to their extended morphology, with axons in humans exceeding a meter in length, in addition to which they are not renewed but persist for the entire lifespan, it is no surprise that neurons are highly vulnerabl...
